How Rapid ISOs are Changing Action and Adventure Sports Photography Source By: Red Bull Illume Capturing fast moving action sports is a tough challenge. Traditionally popping the subject out from the picture and keeping it sharp, requires one or more strategically placed flashes. But this method usually means much of the background light is lost. The restricting factor [...]

Sometimes we get dropped off on top. I will admit that it feels great, its not the same as when you spend five hours hiking up but it still feels great. Especially since it is 8 30 am and we are on a summit. A high pressure came through on Monday afternoon and I knew I would be missing work and skiing on today. It seemed appropriate to get out and go for it since the powder had been amazing. But immediately out of the heli we realized that when the high presseure came in, it came in with lots of wind, from all directions. And if the wind had not hit the snow a temperature crust made it hard to ski. So we toured around Macpherson looking for the goods. We found some but mostly we traveled trough unfamiliar terrain, and skied a Couloir I had wanted to for awhile. It was hard packed and crusty but neverless its fun to ski something that I would think no one else has. Skied with Chris Rubens today, he took that heli photo and was a pleasure to ski with. I'll have to admit he was the first person I have toured with that wore treckers. He did amesome and never complained. 5600 feet on a pair of treckers would feel like 10 000 feet on dynafits. his blog http://chrisrskibum.wordpress.com/ Beautiful day with lots of travel but mostly just great to be out when it is sunny. Fun to stand and dream about new and different lines.

I’m having an extremely productive morning at work. Managed to slice up two contest pages for Freeskier and Snowboard, assemble and publish a podcast on iTunes and answer a couple dozen emails.

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. [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/00/12/46/1246.jpeg[/IMG]

Here’s what I’ve been slaving over for the last couple of weeks here at Freeskier HQ, the 2009 Local Lange Girl contest site. In its first day online it had over 50,000 pageviews.
