With this picture... how do you manage to not have the moving parts blurry? Like the Skateboard for example? When I have tried shots like this, either the background is blurry or the object is blurry.
I'm only referring to pictures with motion btw

If you follow the photo link to flickr, you can check the EXIF info there, which will tell you that the shutter speed was at 1/500s.
I don't know at which speed things start to freeze in skateboarding, but, at the time, I decided to lock it to 1/500 (I switched to shutter priority). Apparently, it worked.

Interesting. Did you have the focus set on the skater? Thanks for the tip 👍

No problem.
The lens used is a manual focus lens. In fact, I don't have any AF lens.
But even if I had an AF lens, I think I'd have done the same I did here: I pre-focused on the spot I wanted and left it there.

Great! Both lens I have offer the option of AF or MF so I think I'll try this in MF next time I do some shots!
Keep up the good work
