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?
Sick stuff!!
Dude.. that 1st photo is amazing!
Made my stomach lurch; startling image; nicely done; WHEW!
like it? Love it!
The angle is impressive!
The BW works perfect.
Love it. Dramatic as the skier/jumper is small within the setting, yet still draws the eye immediately – partly ‘cos he’s in middle of negative space, lead in lines of ski jump etc… I’m starting to sound pretentious so will stop. Cool photo.
