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?
Love it, love it, love it! Great composition, great texture, it’s just amazing. And makes you wonder too. Tells me a story. Awesome stuff, Chase. As usual! :c)
Love it. Huge air. Helicopters. Unique angle. Black. White.
Love the behind the scenes shot as well. Helicopters. Colours.
Images that get me pumped to go play are hard to beat.
damn that is one awesome image, the angle and view you got is soooooo cool, and the black and white gives it that better feel to it too.
I love it and not only that I write that angle down on my notebook for future shoots.
Perspective…. Wow
I LOVE IT!
I think the photo really captures what is happening! The mood is totally there!
It just shows how big of a challenge is to make that stunt! He is just a small guy… jumping between two huge piles of snow… and he even makes a stunt during the HUGE jump he had to make! WOW… what a great impact that photo makes!
It definitely made me feel like I was there… and for me that’s what a great photo must achieve!
