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?
Fresh Fresh Fresh! Like it Bro!
I love it.
Its stark and immense. The size of the figure contrasted with the size of the scene is gripping. the stark contrast of the white snow and the shadows accentuates the feeling. the whole thing feels perfectly balanced.
I like it a lot. I love the vastness of the shot and how small this incredible athlete and the ramps look from this angle. The black and white is perfect. The only things that are not as desirable is the light post shadow and the STEVENS name next to the ramp, however, that may be who you’re doing the work for and should be there.
AWESOME, Great contrast, and the skier is definitely a great focal point
I like that picture because of the scale, mud, blacks and shadows, angle and simplicity of the scene. Picture spokes by itself.
