Carving

I scored plenty of powder the final days of the season on Vail Mountain. No fresh powder on this day though....I used a Superclamp and a lot of duct tape to fasten the camera to my ex-racer friend's ski tip. Unfortunately the heavily weighted ski caused him to wipe out 3 turns in. Luckily I was able to get several shots after that during the second try but on the last run the whole rig vibrated off and I had to chase down the tumbling taped ball of Superclamp and Canon camera and lens. My friend hiked back up the piste to retrieve the remote trigger which was trashed. Fortunately the camera was fine.

I shot some of the local fast guys yesterday at their weekly Sunday morning race. I got as close to the curb at a corner as possible with a 17-35 on my Canon using fill flash as well. The high shutter speed shots weren't particularly interesting so I slowed the shutter down and tried speeds between a 15th to 100th of a second while furiously panning the riders only a foot or two away. No Photoshop was used.
