Here’s the Friday Photo of the Week. Was feeling wintery and I couldn’t help myself. Tell us if you like and why/why not.
Behind the scenes “making of” this shot and the camera/lens/spec details after the jump…
The above shot was created on a Nikon D3, using the Nikkor 24-70mm 2.8 lens (affil links to B&H). Shot at f6.3, 1/1600 sec, ISO 200. The legendary Tanner Hall is the athlete. Location: Stevens Pass, WA.
The behind-the-scenes shot below is how we captured this image. That’s me in the black on the right with my D3s and Todd Jones (TGR) on left in the yellow, shooting the RED camera, hanging outta the helicopter. BTS photo shot by Scotty.
Like or not? Why?
Sense of scale, lines, structures, shades.. all works. But to me the this shot gives a message: that no matter how great athlete you are, you’re still just a tiny, fragile, human thing – a small part of a great nature. And I love both the message and the way it’s told.
that’s an awesome pic, really like that it doesnt have so many elements that would disturb, a clean shot.
