Thisshot isof a snowboardermid-flightafterhittinga
ramp. Due to the positionof the camera,the background
starts off withwhatseemstobe the alpsthenthe sky
fadesfromlightblue toa darker blue andthenintothe
blackof the night.The snowboardisa brightred which
makesitstand outand be seenclearlywiththe
contrastingbackground.
Thisshot isfascinatingbecause we cansee a skierwhois
inthe air,he is so highinfactthat seemstobe jumping
overa helicopter, the backgroundisof the alpsandas
theyare cappedwithsnow itadds purenessand
innocence tothe picture while inthe foregroundwe
have the red helicopterandthenthe vibrantoutfitthat
the skieriswearing.
I like thisshotbecause the firstthingthatcatchesyour
eye isthe blurredcyclistszoomingpastthe camera.You
thennotice the crispimage of the sceneryandit
increasesthe continuityof the shot.
