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?
Dont Like it. the image dont kill me.
Terrific shot Chase, looks like a model set – then the reality of the scale kicks in, unusual.
Also like the Twitter bird in the ‘behind-the-scenes’ shot 😉
love it!!! takes a second to wrap one’s head around the epicness of the shot!! The angle throws everything off for a fraction of a second and thne you go this shot is awesome!!!!!
LOVE.
Ditto to Carlo. It sucked me in at first glance and I was like, “WHOA.” It’s a great shot b/c it caught my attention immediately and I didn’t think about the technical aspects of the shot at first, which is what makes it a great image to me. Nothing else really needs to be said.
However… on the technical side I love the moody darkness, the unique perspective and how all the lines in the image point to the subject. The way he’s just hanging out there gives a sense of freedom and makes ME think why the heck am I sitting at this desk? 🙂
Well done.
Love it. When I look at it, I feel like I’m in the air. Makes me feel good 🙂
