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 actually think this is the best sports shot I have ever seen..!
Incredible! Love the angle, contrasts, crop etc. Good job!
What’s not to like.
Nice post-pros.
I would add more contrast. but yes good shot.
THATS SICK!!! I’ve noticed that when I see photos shot from an angle thats different from the conventional, it never fails to amaze…I’ve seen a million skiing shots but none like this. I have a fear of heights so when I see photographers who go such heights to create photos, it amazes and inspires me…
love the contrast. sick grab.!
