Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in Zermatt, Switzerland on the Gornergrat. I'd spotted the line for Jorg to ski from the piste and thought it would make a great shot.

Time

It was taken early afternoon, we were lucky to still get fresh tracks here as the pitch was right by the piste.

Lighting

The lighting is all natural, and hasn't been edited at all. The dark section at the bottom of the photo is totally natural.

Equipment

Canon 7d mark ii and Canon 70-200 IS f4

Inspiration

The great ridgeline with the mountains in the background was crying out for a photo, and the snow looked so inviting.

Editing

Just standard raw file processing, the shadows are all natural.

In my camera bag

Camera, 24-70 and a 70-200, flash, spare battery, shovel, avalanche probe, climbing skins, water and always wear an avalanche transceiver.

Feedback

Get up early to get the best untracked snow, and something like the 7d Mark ii that can shoot at a really high rate is great for ski shots as the action happens so quickly.
