Capturing Fast Subjects Using Shutter Speed

Photo By: Atiba Jefferson

Find an example of a photograph where the photographer has used a very fast shutter speed and describe the subject matter including the background. Discuss any technical difficulties the photographer may have encountered and how he or she may have overcome them.

I've found one of my favorite photos of all time of "the boss" Andrew Reynolds frontside flipping the les park double set surrounded by a hyped crowd of skaters filming and watching the trick go down. While taking this photo I believe Atiba faced the problem of the crowd getting in his way and taking the photo at the perfect moment where Andrew catches the board and is framed perfectly.
