I just got some pdf’s of the recent shots I’ve had over in Powder Magazine this season so I thought I’d share.
September 2010 Powder Magazine Shooting Gallery – Tyler Barnes sliding a quad kinked C-rail in Ogden, Utah
Nikon D3,Tamron 28-75 f2.8 LD XR Di SP lens, Elinchrom Ranger RX AS Speed, Alien Bees 800, 400, Nikon SB80 DX’s, Pocket Wizard Plus 2 and MultiMaxTranscievers
The thing I love the most about this shot is how clean it came out at ISO 1600!
October 2010 Powder Magazine Shooting Gallery – Alexis Godbout doing his best to get out of church in Helena, MT
Nikon D3, Nikon AF-S 17-35mm f/2.8D ED lens, Elinchrom Ranger RX AS Speed, Alien Bees 800, 400, Nikon SB80 DX’s, Pocket Wizard Plus 2 and MultiMaxTranscievers
This is probably my most favorite thing ever written in a ski magazine. I’m pretty stoked my photo fit it rather perfectly. Check it out if you get a chance.

I finally had the opportunity to make it to the Red Bull Rampage this summer. The Red Bull Rampage is the event of all events in mountain biking. It’s an event I’ve wanted to go to since it’s inception almost 10 years ago and just never had the time or opportunity to make it. This year I finally did. I was fortunate enough to snag a media credential to this event and I shot it my way. Of course, I shot it with strobes. I’ve been testing some of the new Pocket Wizard FlexTT5′s for Nikon in development and with the lack of skiing in October, I was stoked to be able to have something this awesome to shoot and test the new gear out with. I was one of the few that was using lighting out there, it’s a very difficult event to be doing that. The action moves from spot to spot and at times you could see hoards of photographers and cinematographers sprinting from location to location in between runs to setup the next shot. The event is pure madness. From the insane action to the endless clouds of orange dust to the thunderstorms to the desert heat to the helicopters and 3d camera rigs it was just pure madness. I’m so glad I went, I’ll have some more to share soon.
I’ll have more later about the new Pocket Wizard FlexTT5′s for Nikon. For now though, I’ve been able to get full hypersync at 1/640 of a second with an Elinchrom Ranger RX AS Speed with A-Head at full power as well as with Alien Bees 400, 800 and 1600′s with half-frame (only the top half of the frame exposed with flash) hypersync up to 1/1000 of a second and about 1/3 hypersync (only the top 1/3 of the frame exposed with flash) hypersync at 1/1250 of a second. With the Profoto 7b’s and the Pocket Wizard FlexTT5′s for Nikon I was able to get a seemingly endless hypersync, however the output of the flash is limited due to the shutter speed cutting off the flash due to 7b’s slower flash durations at full power.
I’m really stoked on the potential of what I can do with the new Pocket Wizard FlexTT5′s for Nikon. What I’ve only previously been able to do with the 6mp Nikon D40 and D70 with high speed sync, I’m now able to do at 12mp with my D3 and if need be, the 24.5mp Nikon D3x. They will hopefully be released soon!

This was the 2nd of 3 ads for a Scott campaign featuring their top freeskier, Tom Wallisch (check out the first ad here). I worked with Tom a lot this season specifically for this campaign and I’m pretty stoked on the shots and that it was based on what we both wanted to shoot as opposed to being confined to a creative breif. It was a go out, get some epic shots and we will work with it in the end. It allowed us to produce the best shots we could, which is something I’m stoked on. You can’t really ask for much more but a blank canvas.
This shot in particular was the primary reason I came out to Minnesota for that trip with Level 1 Produtions. I knew that feature would produce something I’d be stoked on and it was something I could really spend time with the lighting on. It was a miserably cold night for the whole crew of myself, Kyle Decker (Filmer for Level 1), Tom Wallisch, Ahmet Dadali and Liam Downey and we had some challenges with some equipment and being extremely visable from a major road but everyone got their tricks, their shots and it was one extremely productive day/night.

A few weeks before this shot was taken, I was at the exact same spot, shooting on a larger version of this jump with Poor Boyz Productions at Mt. Bachelor in Bend, Oregon. We waited around for about a week for the weather to improve and it just never seemed to get the way we wanted so I bailed out for a few days down to Mammoth Mountain, CA to shoot with Level 1 Productions. A few days later I came back up to Mt. Bachelor to shoot with Rage Films for another park shoot and I got the weather I was hoping for and the shoot went off. It was one of those shoots where I got photos every day that ended up running in a mag somewhere. Needless to say it was a good couple of days with a really fun crew of young up and coming kids.
After shooting on this jump in the morning we took a big break and came back just around 6pm to get going on this again to shoot around sunset. Joe Schuster was one of the only ones that stuck it out about an hour after the last light was on the jump to wait and ski for the sunset photos. I shot this scene with a pretty standard kit of lighting for me on a jump with an Elinchrom Ranger RX AS Speed with an A-Head, Alien Bees 800, Alien Bees 1600 along with my DIY battery packs with Pocket Wizard Plus 2 transcivers and a Nikon D3 with a Tamron 28-75 f2.8 LD XR Di SP lens.

The lovely people over at espn.com/action had me do a pre-season jib gallery back in late October working with some of the younger crew out here in Utah. From lift terminal rails at Alta to backflip jumps on snowmaking piles at Deer Valley the pre-season mini-shred is on. It was a ton of fun to go out and make some small features of no real consequence look cool. It’s great to work in simply a fun environment, free of the gnar factor sometimes. Add into the fact that my lighting was pretty simple in these, 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
The photo above was real simple, just one Elinchrom Ranger RX AS Speed with a Pocket Wizard Flex TT5 shot with a Nikon D3 and a Nikon 16mm f2.8 fisheye
