Pre-season outtakes

03Dec09

Joss Christensen and Alex Schlopy hiking up to the snowmaking pile in Deer Valley to build the backy jump

Posting outtakes is something here I usually don’t get a chance to do.  This time around though the shoot was for espn.com and with the instant turnaround time with web, I get to post these while they are still fresh!  This few days of shooting was mainly about one thing.  Fun.  It most certainly was.  These photos were shot at Alta, Deer Valley and Brighton Resorts in Utah after a few early season storms in October and early November.  My lighting was pretty simple in these, some just ambient, but those that weren’t, usually just a few Nikon SB80 DX’s, an Alien Bees 800 and a Elinchrom Ranger RX AS Speed with the ol A-Head.  Of course, add in a pile of Pocket Wizard Flex TT5′s.

    Love the mini shred shots, saw the espn early season blog post. Making something from basic elements has always attracted me to snow photography . Keep killin it, great to hear you are getting back on your feet as the season starts to swing into gear.

    If you are ever here in Denver, I’d be stoked to meet you for a coffee or help assisting on a shoot if that should come up. Keep killing it.

    Discount card is the way. Wingpointe, Bonnivelle, both Mountain Dell courses, some others but those are the good ones.

    SLC discount card. Pay $75 ($50 w/usga membership) and you get 20% off of golf/range balls for a year.

    I guess you haven't looked then. Most every course in the SLC area that is decent or good is under $50, even with a cart.

    Oh yah. It said I'd get throttled down if I went over 3gb next month. Supposedly not until then though.
