Crag-ulation
Yes, the Crags are my favorite spot to shoot. Hands down, no question. Nice ski patrollers shoot and throw a whole bunch of explosives in all the right spots, just so I can go out and have the best ski times of my life. And afterwards, when it goes sunny and blue? All the stashes are still fatty fat and ready to go. Here’s to many, many more sessions in the Crags, Wyoming USA.

Flashing Lights
With the gift of a late-season storm cycle in Jackson, we went out yesterday to the Crags to try some strobed pow shots.
After an initial Ranger malfunction and subsequent down time, we managed to get shooting. The snow was touchy, and often a lot less soft than it looked from above. There are lots of ski photogs out there shooting with strobes these days, and I promise you, it isn’t an easy task. Lots of wallowing around, test shots, waiting, shot composing, trying to explain exactly what you want the skier to do… And then the execution – you only have one chance to get the shot, no 10 frames/sec to make things easy. Not to mention that it isn’t like a park shoot, where you can just adjust your timing for the next shot – once the pillow is flattened, it’s time to move to the next feature and try again.
In any case, there was a lot to learn for the next time, and a few of the shots turned out pretty good:

Can’t wait for the next try. Huge thanks to Andy Bardon for assistance and skiers John Beal and James Toth.
