Cindy Kleh Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Just wondering if any of you folks have a high resolution photo of one of your kids ski racing (sorry it can't be snowboarding). I'm in charge of photography for a kids skiing book and we need one good racing shot (gates or at the start). I just figured one of you might have a vastaction or sharpshooter photo that would fill the bill. The Snow Goddess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 I have tons. Mostly 7 to 8 years old when I was sports editing. edit to add the photos are that vintage not the ski racers It might take me a couple days to find. Let me know if you still need this.

Cindy Kleh Posted December 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Thanks. I'd have to have the child's parents' permission to publish, so it would have to be someone you know and can contact. I only need two or three: starting gates, gates. I'm trying to get some this week, but the kids don't have bibs on and I'm still getting used to timing a kid going 40 MPH. I was hoping someone had a kid who ski races (FREAK!) and has Sharpshooter or Vastaction shots they own. But I may end up getting a lucky shot after all.

Donek Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Cindy, Mark B is a poster on Nikon Cafe that shoots a lot of youth ski racing. You can see some of his stuff here: http://www.pbase.com/markb56 Or you can try to find him on Nikoncafe.com I've forwarded him a link to this post as well.

Markb Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 I might have a few that you can use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy Kleh Posted December 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 I looked over your web site and you have some great pics. Unfortunately, I don't have any budget to buy images. I'd be ashamed to tell you what the publishers are paying me for this headache. I found a 13 year old girl who will wear a speed suit and a bib while practicing gates this week at Winter Park. This is better because I need parental consent. I thought maybe there were some parents that had good pics that wanted to get their kids in a skiing book. No worries.
