I've looked through your parcour photos, and I think that's the most dynamic one of them. still, I think you could have tried to catch a different angle or so, but I'm aware that it's difficult to capture the energy in those jumps and moves.
it's crazy what those parkour guys do. do you parkour yourself?

I would have loved to have tried different angles, but not having control over lighting, etc. and also trying to position myself out of their way (and somewhere that I would not move so as not to distract them as they concentrated on their jumps) kind of limited my options.
I don't do parkour myself. The day was organised by ~Revengeofthe80schild , who was a participant on the day (he let me be the camera-monkey instead). It's something that I am interested to learn, and I guess I do some variations of it in my work with SES (clambering/climbing/jumping up and over walls and onto roofs, etc.) but not something I have done in a recreational sense.
They are crazy, but a very entertaining version of crazy.

True, I can imagine that there are lots of things to consider when shooting them.
so far I've only seem some parkour videos on youtube, but that was truly amazing.

Yeah, I think these guys leave their brains at home when they do parkour...
Mind you, I wish I was fit enough to pull that kind of stuff off.

Well, there were two of us with cameras, plus a few deviants who were throwing themselves around and actually doing the activities.
Was a good day, actually.
