I took this of my friend jumping a cornice at Vail. It was fun timing the shot since I couldn't see him approach. I'm really happy with the detail that came out in the snow (-0.7 exposure compensation). And I was just lucky to get a cloud right behind his upper body to set off his dark ski jacket against what would have been an otherwise dark sky. I took this as a verticle shot, which does give a better sense for the rest of the drop and more defined clouds above.

That's an amazing shot. Impressive athleticism on your friend's part and equally nice reflexes on yours, all against a wonderful backdrop. I hope he was able to land that okay.... :-)

Excellent capture. Snow shots are generally flat and devoid of detail. You certainly overcame that caveat. Also, your timing is perfect. Kudos.

Great shot. Love sport action shots and this is one of the best. Perfectly timed capture, whether accidental or not. Nice lighting. The snowbank in the foreground has great detail. Very well done! Congrats.

Growing older is mandatory. Growing up is optional.
Wow!!! Excellent capture!
You could increase the brightness and contrast though... :-)

i think the exposure compensation wasnt needed. i find the snow is a little dark for my taste and so is the sky, and the skiier. i'd proabbly have done a slightly + adjustment, then post processed to bring out snow details, if you think it really needs it.

Great shot! I love Vail. I'm going there right before Christmas again. I tried to get a shot like that going off Iron Mask two years ago, but it didnt come out nearly as well as that!
