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 picture is great for so many reasons. the shadow behind the ramp accentuates it’s height – the shadow of the trees brings this feeling of fear and the unknown and the darkness of the landing area brings out the textures and again that unknown feeling esp with the skier still in the air. great great shot!
LOVE.
Great angle and shadows.
I dig it. The perspective is thrilling.
like the shot like the contrast. an interesting composition for a gap booter like that.
Hi Chase,
This is a brilliant capture (as usual). I really like the B&W tone and the shadows.
Thanks,
Sharif
