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 like it.. coz nobody capture such thing from such angle.. and black and white effect made the surface looks like cream cake.
if I was a publisher and had a book about Ski and no idea about its cover, I would buy this image from you Chase… at any price 🙂
As i sit here wondering how I am gonna afford my next camera, Chase Jarvis is shooting skiers…….. out of helicopters, and doing it amazingly, love the photo
I do like the photo. It shows a birds eye view narrative as if the skier is all by himself. Somehow it feels as if we were not meant to see him ski from this angle, but we do. I like it.
Awesome Chase, I love the perspective and the lines coming in from the bottom left that draw your eye straight into the skiing dude. It also makes you think how small we really are in this world
