Swad Comp

The final shoot for this project was of a competition held at my local dry slope.

During the shoot I tried to put into practise everything I have discovered such as, the position of the snowboarder in the frame and how much of the background or foreground should be included in the image. I was using fill in flash techniques to freeze the movement and also highlight any areas which had shadow cast over them.


These two aspects are possibly the most important to my work.

Below are my favourite images from the shoot. More can be seen in the slide show on the main blog.
























The above two photo's manage to pick out the snowboarders really well. The fill flash has given alot of contrast between the subject and the background and managed to freeze the movement.

The next two images are working on more difficult angles to capture. This is becuase with being this close to the moving subject it is more difficult to freeze the movement and also you need to avoid any collions.
























These are possibly my favourite types of images. They show alot of detail in the foreground where the snowboarder is, highlighting the colours giving plenty of contrast. The vantage point is obscure and so it also puts a strange perspective on the surrounding background.

The inspiration for these types of images comes from images such as Dean Grays shown below.
