Hi all,
Most of the tight shots were taken with the 500/4.5 and the 1D, the rest with 20D, 24-70/2.8 and the 10-22 efs lens.

Very cool! I SO wanted to go to this! Unfortunately, my day job interferred. Thanks for sharing.

awesome!

question though...how can u (well, your camera at least) focus for these shots? Is it as hard as I think or is there some kind of trick to it?

thanks,
mj

Actually I have a lot of dead shots. The camera loved to focus on the background(That's AI servo for you) Until I remembered there is a pre-set on my lens but by then it was a bit too late and I had a missed a lot of shots.

Me too. If I wasn't working I would've been there too.

Amazing stuff, especially the ones with the street in the background.

More in Icer Air. A fellow member of our local camera club, Jim Goldstein,
just posted these incredible shots of the big day last week.

Enjoy these.

Love the juxoposition of the people midair against the city background. Awesomeness!

Love the shot of the police officer with the camera-phone ... although I thought from the thumbnail that he had a radar gun -- maybe to see if the skiers were exceeding the speed limit : )

Killer shots, thanks for sharing. And how awesome that it was a day with blue sky instead of fog/overcast!

Glad you're enjoying the pics of the Icer ski jump in San Francisco last week.

I just saw some sequence shots tonight at Camera Club, and they were remarkable.

Yes, our guy had a press pass and used it well to get these pictures.
