Junior Alpine skiing

A few of my favorites from the last race.

like #1 a lot

Number 1 is awesome! really good set. what lens were these shot with? I'm going to guess your 400 f/5.6?

Thanks, I struggled with white balance. It still looks a bit yellow to me

Keith, thanks for the kind words. #1 and #2 are with a 300 2.8; while #3 and #4 are with the 70-200.

Those are awesome Tom.

#1 looks great. WB looks great too. Probably seems warm due to capturing both the warm sun and cool shade, I would rather see it shifted a bit warm that shifted a bit too cool.

Super nice! I like 'em.

what was the shutter , f-stop, iso set at?

Thanks Adam. I appreciate your comments and taking the time to look.

The first is: iso 400 1/5000 @f3.5 with a plus 1 2/3 ( I should have lowered the iso a bit)
The second is: iso 200 1/2000 @f4.0 with a plus 1 2/3
The third is: iso 400 1/2000 @4.0 with a plus 2
The fourth is: iso 200 1/1600 @f4.0 with a plus 1 2/3

thanks for looking

This really gives me the itch to go and find some races at Granite Peak to give it a go.

I just looked it up: the Badger State Games at Granite Peak were last weekend (Feb 6,7)

number one is a bit hot in the top left. But these are amazing pictures great detail. what was your f/stop? Also, your right about adam his comments are always good if he never said that i wouldn't have notice. Also i can see adam shooting it and trying it out.lol Adam+downhill skiing= fast and thats what adam loves to do.

I like the expression in #3 - nice shots

Those are all great - #4 is my favorite... you can see her eyes looking for the next gate already - great stuff...

Tell the girl in #2 to buckle her boots next race ...

I'm not sure where your seeing blown highlights? Looks good to me. For this type of shot I wouldn't worry about backgrounds being blown out, etc. Subject is good, and in those conditions with strong shadows and strong highlights you can't ask for much more. Much different than portraiture. And remember if your not on a color managed browser like firefox, and a non-calibrated screen you may not see things just right.

Look at post #8 for the settings.

well i use the spider 2 every month but i am using safari so that could be my problem.i agree that the subject looks good i just thought that it looks blown out just needs more contrast.
