Ron Shoots

Ton of fun today working on a ski slope. We had some last minute changes with our Vail location, so we drove a couple of hours north to Steamboat Springs. (What a great place!)

Our models were a younger couple and an older couple. All were great skiers and super helpful. While the day was really beautiful, the snow was a bit on the heavy side to shoot those crazy powder shots. Lifestyle images are more along what we wanted to shoot anyway.

And the crew survived!

Shooting ski/snowboard images on the slopes are tough. Even with minimal equipment, Krista and I were each skiing with 20-30lbs of gear in our backpacks. But I’m bragging, not complaining. The views are awesome and going to places like this make my job much more like an adventure!

Equipment-wise, I shot with the Canon 1Ds MII and used both the 28-300mm and 24-105. We used a Quantum flash on most of the scenes.
