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?
Love the object, proportion and effort you made to capture this shot
This is too cool!!! I love it because the point of view is unusual and so is the man is just hanging there in the air! I really like the shadows of the trees and the texture of the snow. And I ask myself…how did he get up there…is he going to land safely…and…hmmm, that looks like a lot of fun! 🙂
Beautifully captured. What I really like is the high angle of the photo, it’s different, kind of reminds me of Alexander Rodchenko’s stuff in a weird way. Also the angle of the lighting is great, it captures the texture and depth of the landscape.
Bryan Lynch said it perfectly!
Nice shot Chase! Love it!
Photo A is “better” but only because it’s a perspective not seen before (at least by me). Having said that I would have rather seen it in color. Photo B is cool in that it shows the lengths to which you will go to get a cool shot!
