A friend just forwarded me a link to some winter photographs taken up at Mt Baker yesterday. The images, showing about two inches (!) of snow up near Artist Point, could very well be (or could they?) indicative of a big winter in the Pacific NW. This is good news, no great news, not only because I’m looking forward to many days in the backcountry with friends, but I’m really hoping to get lots of backcountry skiing photos this year.

Here is the link to the Mt Baker images on Flickr

Pray For Snow!

It’s pretty cool to watch a hobby develop into something slightly more than just a money and time-consuming passion. Although I’ve been carrying a digital camera with me wherever I roam, it really wasn’t until the last couple years that I began to  publicly persuade people to buy my landscape and adventure photographs…and realize that people other than close family and friends really did like the photos and would actually pay money for them! So needless to say I’m was pretty happy to see some of my recent ski photography and images of the US National Telemark Ski Team on the Scarpa website  at www.scarpa.com (you have to first click on Team Scarpa at the bottom of the site, then click on SKI and then click on USTSA.)

Getting good sports photos is definitely a challenge. At this point I don’t have one of those massive white Canon zoom lenses you see during professional sporting events; my only zoom is a Canon 70-200 IS, which means I have to get close to the action and hope that I’m focusing on the right spot at the exact right moment. You always have to be thinking a couple seconds ahead of the action, basically predicting the future and what that person is going to do. Use a fast shutter speed (at least 400) and make sure the camera settings allow for a rapid succession of photos.  Oh…and practice, a lot. Action photography, in my opinion, is one of the hardest types of photography to perfect.
