F5, 1/640 sec, fill flash; full manual settings, especially prefocus at about 3 meters, for minimal shutter/flash lag. Plus numerous attempts... Alvin goes airborn in his sled at dusk. Le Cernix (Crest Voland) in the French Alps (Haute Savoie).

Great shot, Christian, full of fun and colorful excitement, and clever title, too! #219655Christian Harberts February 28, 2005
Thanks Carol! Glad you liked the title - beats something like "Red Sled Jump" eh? Just back from vacation, feeling creative ...Christian #1138108

Excellent shot Christian! I like the colour and fun! #1144582Christian Harberts March 04, 2005
Thanks Carol! I've noticed that often my picture-taking goes through color cycles - a series of warm tones, then some cooler...Christian #1146724

Thanks Jenifer! I must admit I was too close for comfort - I had to take each picture, then jump clear... And yes, few things are as exhilirating as a long sled run with son - you bet I tried! (sans jump..)Christian #1150313
