My wife and I shot the local Ski jumping tournament again this year. I used my Olympus E3 again and since the main competition was Friday night, I decided to rent one of the best lenses you can get for that camera, the 35-100 F2.

Here are a few of my favorite shots.

Hopefully those watermarks will go away here soon. If not, I'll repost the photos. I have more to post from the night jump.

    Thanks!
    I removed those watermarks from the smugmug gallery hoping that they would disappear but they didn't. I like to show the perspective when I can, gives a little more idea of how big the jump is.

    I saw the last one and thought to myself "holy snot".

    FWIW - they seem a tad underexposed to me. That having been said, the comp and perspective on these is very nice.

    Why do people post their equipment in their sig. Isn't it kind of like bragging? That having been said...
