This shot is on the back cover of the December Issue of Freeskier. It was shot in April on Blackcomb mountain in Whistler, BC during a shoot with Matchstick Productions. To read the full story about the shoot you can read my article on Newschoolers.com here and as always, click the photo to view it larger. The conditions for this shoot had been tough all week. Unseasonably cold weather left the jump too hard to hit for a few days and it came right down to the last possible day before the MSP crew had to leave town. Even then we only had a tiny window to shoot in.
The shot was taken with a Canon 1DMKIIN and a 70-200 2.8. Exposure setting was f7.1 at 1/1250 and iso 160 with a focal lenght of 160mm
Here’s a couple of cool adverts for Spyder clothing, both were shot at Camp Of Champions on the Horstman Glacier here in Whistler this summer. Thanks to Fabia Gruebler,Matt Sterbenz and the 4FRNT crew for arranging the sunset shoot for Matt Hayward (in the yellow suit) and big thanks to the COC park crew for keeping such an imaculate park and pipe.
For the Strobists out there, Matt’s shot was lit with an Elinchrom Ranger RX on full power behind the lip of the jump and shot at 1/200 f9.0 iso 100 and 115mm on a 70-200 at about 8:00pm.
Tuckers shot was taken at about 8:00am and again lit with one Ranger RX on full power about 10 feet to camera left and about level with Tucker on a 12ft lightstand. 1/320 f14.0 iso160 and 24mm. For this shot we had a very small time window. The pipe needed to be nice and hard for Tuck to get some decent air but as soon as the sun hit the pipe it melted fast. He only got to hit it about 6 times, this shot came from the second try.
Couple more of Tuck. Watch out for him this year!
