Self-Portrait “Poser”

1..2..Pose!, This is my eight photo in my series of work on the mountain. With this photo I wanted to through down a classic SharpShooter pose, and whats more classic than the scorpion pose. Yeah cheesy I know, but its a big hit with the costumers. Its a pretty versatile pose as well. You see right now I’m doing the tough guy pose with my hands down in front. But if I was a chick I would bring my hands right below my chin (insert awww here). Then if you want to get really complicated you through someone on top of your board laying down. Needless to say it’s near impossible, but its pretty sweet when you can pull it off.

Self-Portrait: On the Mountain

Trigger man: Myself

Strobist: Built in flash +1.0

Camera info: Nikon D80 | 18-55mm ƒ/3.5-5.6 | ƒ/10 | 1/200th.

On the top, here is my seventh photo in my series of work on the mountain. Here is a perfect look into how I spend most my overcast snowy days on top of the mountain. This day in particular was a super slow day as you can see by no one in the background. I thought this photo turned out pretty darn for being one of those hand held my space photos.

Self-Portrait Day 32|365 The Gondola

The Gondola, my fifth photo in my working on the mountain series. Who wouldn’t love a good fifteen minute ride up and down the mountain every day? I know I sure do! It gives me some good down time from standing all day long. I would have to say its my favorite part of working on the mountain..apart from photographing of course.

Trigger man: Myself

Strobist: One SB600 on camera.

Camera info: Nikon D700 | 18-35mm ƒ/3.5-4.5 | ƒ/13 | 1/125th.

Self-Portrait Day 30|365 Riding the Cabriolet

This is my third image for my series of working on the mountain. This one is all about the cold, frigid ride up from parking to all the shops and hotels at the base of the mountain. There is no better way to wake you up in the morning than to take a nice breezy ride on the Cabriolet at eight in the morning. This is a really cool shot because I normally take hours to get the photograph I’m looking for but in this case I only had a few minutes in the morning. What I had to do was get on the Cabriolet, whip out my tripod, set up my camera, focus and cross my fingers that something would come out. I was only able to get six frames but my excellent timing skills resulted in a good looking pose with another cart passing by. Let me know what you think!
