i've never shot snowboarding, so take this with a grain of salt; i'd go with a lower angle and in front of the boarder so as to get the facial expression/concentrati​on. if you're looking for how a lot of pros are shot, check out your local bookstore for Transworld Snowboarding and others that cater to this sport. the angle and placement will depend on a few things: lens choice, course availability, fps, etc., but try a lot of different things and you'll find a few you like...


Why yes, I DO shoot people—and they pay me well for it.:D

Shoot a little tighter and if you know the snowboarders ask them what tricks they are going to do so its not a guessing game and you can prepare for the shot. try to get there faces in the shot. you had a half way decent angle but you got the back of his head. and if you have any off camera flash use them because they do wonders!!
