Grabbing Some Air.

Uploaded: March 23, 2005 13:47:54

Description

I used an aperature of F 9.5 and a shutter speed of 1/1000 to stop the motion and catch the shadow. I used my Canon 300 mm L Series for this photo.

This young snowboarder jumped off of a very steep hill and managed to grab some air on his way down to a safe landing.

The photo was taken on the north side of Thompson Pass which is about 27 miles outside of Valdez,AK.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
