      Can you share any skiboarding photography tips with us? I've never bothered to bring a camera with me to the slopes because of concerns like:
      1. Crashing into something hard and busting my gear
      2. Trashing the gear by getting it wet
      3. Getting the exposure right in the white, white snow.
      4. Getting run over by out-of-control 8 year olds while taking a shot.


      How do you keep your gear from getting hosed? Any tips for maximizing our chances of getting a decent shot?
      first you have to have good gear and then it's just about experience. i use a dakine backpack designed especially for photography to keep the stuff together & safe. it's a pain to ride with a pack of gear (when i'm carrying the gl2 it gets pretty heavy) but something i've resigned myself to. i'll ditch it every once in a while, it feels so good to ride "bare" . and then in the pack is a canon 40d with canon 70-200 L and 28-135 lenses.

        If life's not beautiful without the pain, well I'd just rather never ever even see beauty again.

            I took a shot in the dark on the spelling, I thought it was said but I think I got it marked a misspelling on a paper last year so I went with zed, it was obviously wrong...lol

              What? No Nikon lenses?

              hehe

              Props G, I don't think I have the required balance for filming and riding

                  Yeah, I guess riding with a heavy pack of photo gear is basically the cost of promoting the sport and your brands. Of course, you get to write off all of your trips and photo gear as business expenses, so it's not all bad...

                  What about exposing for the snow? Do you just trust the Canon AE, and fix any exposure errors later in lightroom, ACR or whatever? Do you use an incident meter?

                    I trust the Canon and fix later. I don't use an incident meter.

                        usually auto. the 40D does a great job tracking.

                        • funny, the D40 does a good job of tracking too but I like the illusion that is the feeling of controll. I hope I can get some shots up this year.

                            • See...That's why I got a Nikon, you can actually take pictures and feel cool at the same time...unlike other brands like *cough cough* can...Never mind, the name's not important.
