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?
I really love the first one! I like the graphical nature of that shot and the dynamical composition lines.
The second shot looks to cluttered for me. The skier and the helicopter touch each other and that doesn’t work for me. If the shadow on the snow was the reason of this shot: please crop extremely! 😉
Like the B/W. Like the composition. Don’t like the top part quarter section with the shadows.
That’s pretty amazing. Three things stand out to me: the perspective, the feeling of solitude and the graphic-ness of it. Gorgeous shot.
First one
I love it! It’s so powerful in Black and White. Great Job!
