It's been a good couple of days here in Utah. Thought I would post a couple of the more landscape-slanted images for the collective here. Hope you enjoy. All were shot at Solitude Mtn. Resort.

three has an awesome angle and cool processing
the kicker for me is the last one-quite spectucalar
i love how you frame the skier with trees in many of your shots
change for a nickel?

Wow, these are all great Adam, but 5 and 6 really take the cake for me. I love the perspective on them. Great work as usual.

2 3 5 are just too sweet. They're all real nice, but if it was me in the shots, I'd HAVE to buy 2 3 and 5.

Haha, until I saw these I thought I was a pretty good skier. Some of that terrain is just... unbelievable!

#3 is pretty cool. Hope that's a wide angle lens

Great series. You handled the exposure and action very well. The detail and compositions 1, 3, 5, and 6 are superb. Thanks for sharing these. I really need to get up into the hills.

Great shots!!! You must be a skier to position yourself from a great angle. Nice exposure and good job in cropping.

Ahhh, I knew I shouldn't have clicked on this thread. (j/k) Great pics that capture a lot of the reasons why I love to ski.

I think I like #1 the best. Brings to mind that feeling of the calm before the storm when you survey the terrain, pick your lines and imagine the perfect run.

Also a very nice job on the exposures and your creativeness with your compositions and angles.

I will look out for your posts in future.

Hey Jim--
I shoot quite a bit of skiing all winter, and typically submit imagery to the ski publications around spring time.

WOW Adam, I had no idea you were such the action shooter. Marvelous set of images! #2 is my pick of the bunch, doesn't get much better than that. Excuse the back patting

Super action shots Adam, and tasteful too. The angle of attack in #3 makes it very dramatic and it's my favourite here
Well done.
David
