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 is awesome! Has anyone else noticed that the shadow of the helicopter in the second photo looks like a bird?
Sick shot!! Are you planning on posting anymore from this day? Hope you do.
Nha, average….. Ok, just kidding. This is a really cool image. Unusual angel, beautiful light, perfect timing with the skiier right in the middle over the gap.
I think a square crop would be even cooler but that’s just me.
Thanks for sharing.
love it.
– scale of skier adds drama. someone afraid of heights may get sick looking at this.
– the tree shadows and all of the lines in the groomed snow all have leading lines in the direction of the skier, from the top right, from the bottom. from the right. My eye is totally drawn to the skier, the smallest feature on the image.

Very captivating, love all the texture in the snow and the beautiful light and shadows.
