What: bike shot
Why this angle: the air + the trail tells a good story. plus all those vertical lines kept the scene clean. Nice light too…looking up really “opened up” the image. Simplicity almost always wins – in this case it does.
How: I laid under the jump and motor-drived the action at 9fps. we shot several attempts to ensure the rider was in the right spot relative to the rest of the scene…plus we added in the little bike tilt for some flair.
Gear n such: Nikon D3s. Nikkor 14-242l8 lens shot at 15mm. ISO 800. f3.5 1/1000sec (Here’s a link for you gear folks)
Feel free to let me know what you think. Or just tell me you like it.
Herrlich ein klasse Schuß ich mag dein Stil sehr Chase Jarvis dein Name klingt wie f stop 😉 great job!!
This is totally sick man!!! Awesome shot!!! Crisp and Clean!!! Would love to know better about the setup that you used. I think my brain is a little bit low on imaginations and it would be awesome to hear it from the behind this great shot himself. YOU!!!! You are awesome Chase.
Very nice. This is one of my favorite shots of yours. Simple is good sometimes.
I work as a photographer and a Media director at a bike shop. I take a good handfull of action sports photos. I use off camera lighting a lot for everything. Here is a photo from last summer shot with AB-800. http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/8902072/ I am not one to Shoot continuous shutter ever unless I want to make a sequence shoot. I spend the time to light and get that one shot I am looking for. The shot in the link is Shot number 3 from this shoot only cuz I want the rider to go bigger.
