Challenge: Faceless (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: Canon EOS-10D
Location: Skálafell, Reykjavik, Iceland
Date: Jan 21, 2005
Aperture: f/3.5
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/200
Galleries: Sports
Date Uploaded: Jan 22, 2005

 This picture was taken during an evening outing with the local snowboarding club.

I used an off-shoe Canon 420EX flash mounted on a tripod to the left of the camera together with a ST-E2 wireless transmitter on the camera.
This was my first attempt at any kind of sports/action photography and also my first try at using external flash so I didn't have the slightest clue to dial down the flash exposure, hence the overexposed pants and boots.
Shot as JPEG with a 24mm fixed lens at f/3.5, 1/200.

Editing:
Most importantly, I removed a tiny portion of the ground in the lower left corner. I also cropped the picture slightly from the right, applied some unsharp mask, darkened the sky a bit, and in a vain attempt I tried to rescue some details in the pants and boots with the burn tool.

Great work even the 10 I gave does not do this justice.

Way cool capture, good composition, lighting is a little flat - but overall well done. 7.

What an awesome shot! Doesn't get much better than that as far as timing, background, meets the challenge. Good luck.
