#1 Photo On 500PX !!

Today I’m really proud to say that my 50 shot sequence of Sammy Carlson that I wrote about last week is the #1 photo on the popular photography website 500PX! I’ve been a fan of this site since it’s launch and it never ceases to amaze me how much incredible photography there is out there in the world.  To have the #1 photo is a proud moment for me, a real honor.  I’ve been amazed at the response I’ve had this morning from the media as well.  500PX is doing a lot right!  Newspapers and news agencies from around the world have contacted me this morning looking to showcase the image and the rest of my winter work.  It’s really quite incredible!

Sammy Carlson Mega Sequence

This sequence appeared in an article that I did for SBC Skier Magazine this past February.  It was shot with Sammy Carlson in Whistler last winter.  We’d been looking for a spot to build some consecutive jumps for a few weeks and when the opportunity finally presented itself we only had a few minutes of light left in the day.  As you can see in the image there is no direct light left!  The sun had just settled behind the mountains and time was running out.  This was Sammy’s first hit on the jumps and YES this was all shot in one go.  I put the Canon 1dMK4 on JPEG mode to get more shots before the buffer filled up and I literally just let it rip!  There was just enough shots in the buffer though.  This was shot with the Canon 70-300 L IS lens that I used so much last winter with great success.

Featured Photographer – Daily Mail Ski & Snow Magazine – UK

The Daily Mail Ski & Snowboard Magazine from the UK just ran a gallery of some of my images in the March 2012 issue.  If you are in the UK you can probably still find it on store shelves in all the major newsstands.  It features photos from last winter in British Columbia.  The first shot of Charley Ager was taken in Revelstoke and actually the third shot of Riley Leboe was taken on the same trip not so far away.  The crazy shot of Dane Tudor was taken on the Pemberton Icecap near Whistler and, as is Dane’s way, was his first run of the day.  Just a mellow warm-up ……..  The final shot of Sammy Carlson was also taken on the Icecap.

Nike Ad – Sammy Carlson

This month I’m proud to see one of my favorite shots from last year begin to run as an ad for Nike in various magazines.  The image was shot in the backcountry around Whistler, BC as so many of my images are these days.  Sammy had an incredible year last year winning X-Games and putting together one of the best ski movie segments I’ve ever seen in The Grand Bizarre from Poor Boyz Productions.   The beautiful blue sky comes as usual from the last hour of sunlight in the day, you just can’t beat it, especially when you have to even out the huge amount of reflected light from the snow.
