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, I think B&W gives the image a dramatic feeling that’s very good.
what’s not to like?
amazing.
as usual.
Love it, the black and white really give this a more dramatic appearance which is further enhanced by the sense of scale created by the wide angle and the height the shot was taken from.
Would love to try this kind of shot someday, just need to get my hands on a heli!
Love it! a new angle for ski photography, but I will crop the shadows of the trees they break the geometry of the picture.
It reminds me of the vertical shot in Life Cycle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJgaSTuwp7I
Amazing shot Chase! Great work! Love it 🙂
