Skiers at Steven's Pass




I've always wanted to see if I could photograph skiers like I've seen in sports magazines. I had the opportunity this past weekend. I hiked up through the snow to about mid way on the ski slope. Watched the skiers for a while until I determined their path, then positioned myself. The sun was out so the reflectance from the snow was a challenge. I ended up setting my aperature at about F8 and shutter speed to about 1/500th to catch these skiers. I'm fairly satisfied with how the photographs turned out. I must say it was a lot more work hiking through the snow than I anticipated.
