Photographing backcountry skiing is n’t the easiest of jobs — mess up the stroke , and you ’ve got a lot of hike to do again ( not to mention the wasted powder ) . But it also has its benefits , like skiing endless laps of perfect snow .
This GoPro video detail a day in the lifetime of Christoph Oberschneider , a skiing lensman from Salzburg , Austria . Ski photography has a unique set of restraint , as Oberschneider detailed inthis 2013 profile :
Since my acquaintance and I usually were n’t the only I on the mountain when there was good powder to be found , I had to be very quick when I want to make certain that I could take a photo of a skier in untracked snowfall , because – get ’s face it – nobody likes track powder . My especial back pack /camera - camp - compounding made it possible to get the camera out and take off germinate in about 30 seconds , while it was also still a state - of - the - art avalanche airbag system with all the condom equipment a serious freeride skier has to carry with him .
To get his image , Oberschneider shoots a full - frame Sony a99 , using outburst mode and short exposures to freeze the military action — ISO can be hold back lowly , since thanks to the snow , picture is n’t ordinarily an issue . [ YouTube ]
