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?
Incredible shot. Just totally wow. I can imagine the planning that must have gone into it. Hope you post the footage from the red too.
As a skateboard photographer that has been clicking for 11 years, I would have to say that this image is bang on. The job of an action sports photographer is to unite the need to make the athletes trick look as amazing and impossible as it can and unite that with a unique vision that will show an angle and view that nobody else does.
You have been able to achieve this in this photo. And the texture and contrast are dead on in B&W.
Dude Chase!
How could you not love this! I have dreams of doing what you do, and shooting the things you shoot. Keep making dreams for the little guys!
Love this photo! So simple yet very impacting. Wish I was there taking photos.
Both the BTS and the actual shot are awesome. I really like the black and white. Very contrasty.
