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?
Absolutely love the shot, it has all my favourite ingredients for a shot – B&W, winter and action !
Job very well done!
Last winter i had lots of fun in the parks @ Breckenridge CO, if only i had a helicopter to play with too !
Like it. B&W and contrast make it look like a night shot.
Love it, obtuse/unusual angles. The tree shadows both frame and point to the subject… Keeping my eye trapped in the photo (between that and the jump!)
love it. was just in Vail but the old guys jsut weren’t hitting the kickers. hard to balance skiing and shooting when the guys won’t slow down.
keep up the good work.
Beautiful shadow play & the lines are great. Very brave, I like it.
