One specific idea was having the action coming towards the camera. This proved quite difficult to do whilst avoiding any collisions. An attempt at this idea can be seen here. Ideally I wanted to have the subject in the air. Having reviewed the images I can see that in order to achieve this I will have to stand further away form the subject and use the optical zoom on my camera. I believe this will slightly harder to capture a good quality image as any movement of the camera will have more effect when zoomed in.
Other images from this shoot can be seen in the gallery.
From standing in a different location and zooming in on the subject I have managed to capture several good quality images. This is one example. Following the discussions with Steve I realise this setting would be ideal to experiment with fill-in flash.
Hi
ReplyDeletejust a small point here but very important, you are on the wrong side of the snowboarder here , get the side facing him as you end up photographing someone's back in mid air.

Hi
ReplyDeleteI have just been looking at your Aviemore shots and some of those are from the front and more unusual angles. We just need to look through your images and start to select which ones to post produce in photoshop
.I look forward to seeing your fill in flash versions of these.
this meets 1.1,1.3,1.4,1.6,1.7,1.8,2.1,2.2,2.4, and 2.6 as regards the importance of feedback I give you evidenced on the blogs.
