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?
F-N A Right. this is such a great spin on a ski photo. honestly getting a little bored of the kid at face level a tad of the center mark on the blue bird day. It’s just getting old. Love the B&W. Love the time of day that gave you the long shadows. And again, I can’t remember the last shadow I’ve seen in ski photo like this. Very dramatic.
OMG WHAT is NOT to like about it?! it’s fabulous angle and in B&W so striking in tone and contrast. It has an element of weird miniature film set but then you see the shadows of trees and the littl figure spinning wildly in space and his shadow on the approaching bank.
LOVE IT
Like! Creative and unique.
LOVE IT. WONDERFULLY DIFFERENT.
I like especially how it is so unlike any other photos I’ve seen and the photo’s perspective is almost tilted up the mountain, giving the feeling of instability that is integral here. It’s so cool how this is just a “photo of the day” making it seem so commonplace when it is so well done. Nice job! Can’t wait to see more.
BW picture is best. Love the composition contrast everything…..
in simple words Its Perfect.
