Gerben Kuiper spotted this rail a long time ago, and ever since he’s been bragging about how many grinds he’d be able to pull on it. In his mind he thought he could use the little bump to get more air. In reality it was not like that. The so-called mini-bank ended up being more of an obstacle and, to make things worse, the square rail is next to speeding traffic. Not really an ideal skate spot. But for a photo it is perfect! After several attempts with a shin as blue as the rail, Gerben souled it from bank to bank. I used two flashes (left and front) to capture the fast movement of the skater and I opened the shutter for one second to capture the speeding traffic. The flashes went off right before the shutter closed. You can find this rail above the train platforms at Central Station in The Hague. (technical data: 17mm, 1 sec, F6,3, 200 iso) — Thomas Vahe

That’s an amazing shot. Great job on the traffic lights, makes the picture look so dynamic, and the blue rail also comes out perfect
