Snowbasin, Utah

Photo Details
Poster: Photo-John see this users gallery	Gerard attacks some steep stuff at Snowbasin, near Ogden, Utah. With a little setup and coordination, good action sports photos are possible with point-and-shoot cameras like the Canon PowerShot SD950 IS I used to take this one. I set the ISO to 200 for improved depth-of-field, pre-focused where I expected Gerard to pass, did a test shot and adjusted the exposure compensation, and then had him ski it. I used the optical viewfinder and panned. It's much easier to get an accurate panning photo with an optical viewfinder. In fact, I've found it's almost impossible using just a camera's LCD. one of the reasons I bought the SD950 IS is the optical viewfinder.

Thanks, Brian. I am a weekly worshipper at Church of The Wasatch - no matter what the weather or season. I am grateful to be living in the Promised Land ;-D

I just wanted to add that there has been a fair amount of post-porocessing applied to this image. It has multiple masked adjustment layers. But this photo shows the potential the 12-megapixel Canon PowerShot SD950 IS offers. Post-processing with masked adjusment layers is a standard part of my workflow. So it wasn't like I was doing anything special to this image, either.
