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?
This is a great shot…the texture of the snow looks awesome as well as the dark shadowy trees. I love looking from above and seeing the ‘whole’ picture.
Yes, I like it. Maybe a bit more of texture is missing behind jumper.
It’s a great shot with great composition.
Love the angle, my only thought would be the shadows from the trees on the top are distracting. My eye keeps going back to them instead of wanting to find the skier. Thought about a squarer crop for this shot and taking those out? Guess it depends on the client need.
Beautiful on all counts !! the helicopter takes the “gear” so far out of reach that it kind of becomes transcendental – all you can do is marvel at the image 😉
Great shot, wish i had a helicopter…. 🙂
