eos4life Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Care to share the gear info? (camera, lens...) Settings on cloudy days? Do you use fix F-stop and hope to have the best shutter speed or use fix shutter speed? Which iso do you mainly use? Manual focus, prefocus on a location, auto-focus with ai servo? Spot metering? So many questions so little time!!! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philfell Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 WOW the rumors flying around about them reusing the Burton boots and binding mold seem to be true. Glad to see it finally, it gives us more options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sic t 2 Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Killer web coverage of this event. Again, your format and presentation is the best there is. Newsworthy too !!!!!! Can't decide if my favorite pic is the "water ski rooster tail" or the "atomic turn". sic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Firestone Posted February 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 I basically have the least expensive "prosumer" camera setup. The "70-210 4-5.6 D" lens is no longer manufactured but you can buy it on eBay for around $500. It's autofocus speed is *just* fast enough. I use shutter priority, and go for 1/500 or 1/1000, with center-weighting, with AFC (continuous autofocus). I have to stick with the lowest ISO on my camera, which is 200, since all the detail is in the shadows (especially for riders in black outfits), and anything more adds so much noise. I always shoot raw, so I don't worry about white balance. Since the contrast between blown-out snow and shadow details is so huge, I need the extra dynamic range that raw provides. In order to snap photos in a burst, I bought a fast CF card (Sandisk Ultra II). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
