My job at PortersTahoe.com allows me to get out on the hill and try some new ideas & play around with my photo gear. This weekend was eventful as the top Halfpipe riders in the world descended into Tahoe. Here is an album of some of the shots I was able to get on Saturday.
The blue sky was awesome, and in order to enhance that, I decided to play with a CTO tungsten gel over my flash head and set the WB on my camera to tungsten. The tungsten setting is much cooler and is around 3200 K which is equivalent to your ordinary household lightbulb. Mixing these elements together, I was able to get some real saturated blues in the sky. It's fun to experiment and try new things.
On Sunday, the boardercross took place and I got myself into a more traditional sports shooting mode in order to document all the high speed action.
I love the fact that I can go out and work on these aspects of my craft and just try to engage in new things....working with top notch athletes doesn't hurt as well!
