Snowboarder

 On a recent ski trip to the Italian resort of Selva Gardena, I decided I finally wanted to pop my freestyle togging cherry. It took a long time to find the right location for the shot because the place is so huge! After about half a day of searching I managed to find the perfect snow park, with large jumps, but more importantly pretty skillful skiers and boarders. I found the jump I wanted (it was a 5 foot kicker) and got in place next to it. This boarder did a number of fantastic passes, but on his last jump he decided to take his foot out of the binding. The sun was perfect, the snow was like a giant reflector so all the details in the boarder were clear and the final aspect of the shot which really makes it for me is the snow, it adds a sense of dynamic to the shot and really gives it that special feel.

For any of you that may be interested this is the sequence of shots leading up to that one:
