Snowboarding (First time shooting) :)

Well I got the itch out of my system snowboarding non stop every weekend for the past 5 weeks. So I thought I would go ahead and kick back with my camera this weekend. Rounded up all my friends and hit the terrain park. First of all it was hard exposing correctly 0_o .. but with that out of the way I whipped out my D300s, 10-24 and SB900 took aim and came out with these. Let me know what you guys think!


By the way I love the question of the from every on looker. "why do you choose to shoot into the sun?" I just and said you will see

Exposure is fun in the snow isn't it? Looks like you got it dialed in very nicely. Also like how you used the flash on these.

#1 really stands out. Nice job
I have nitpicks on the other ones mainly around cropping...

#2 For me, the rider is too centered. I would crop some off the right and little off the bottom.

#3&#4 Why the vertical crop? Is this how you shot it?

Look forward to more stuff from you.

Haha exposing in the snow was just as fun as hiking around :cry

Thank you for the compliments though!

The last two were shot from me lying under the jump and shot vertically. Also I was already looking at the backflip as too centered so I agree and will change that.
