Sandy invited me to join the photographer of Planet Snow and another photographer – Lars Schneider from Outdoor Vision… Of course I didn’t say no;-) http://www.outdoor-visions.com/
Started out at 8.30 a.m., met the crew, Michi and Lars the two photographers, Sandy and Jobst the skiers…
When I was driving into the Chillatal I already knew that the weather wouldn’t change that we would have sunshine and blue sky… Well, you can’t change the weather, it’s just about how you look at it;-) But for a fotoshooting it’s definetely best if you have a good light, powder and blue sky…
We were quite unlucky, hiking for about 40 minutes up the mountain, windy, cold, not the best visibility… Started out to shoot in a couloir – waiting for the sun, waiting and waiting and waiting… But the sun didn’t come out anymore… So we still shooted, one powder-turn with let’s say some pow but not that much… I had to hike up for another one… In the meantime Jobst did his turn in another couloir, icy, hard conditions, so not the best shot… Sandy – jumping off a cliff… Just when we were finished with the first shots, the sun came out for a couple of minutes… That was it – the sunshine for the day;-)…
Standing around a lot for some pow-turns, waiting and waiting, without a good light you can forget it… Well, bad luck… Did some more shots going down one face, am curious if at least some of them turned out okay…
Photoshooting on the mountain = hard work for both – athlete and photographer… Especially when it’s cold and windy outside… But other people sit in the office in front of the computer – I’m a lucky girl who is able to ski and be outside – jippiiii 🙂
Standing around a lot, having a cold knee, not good… Had to less warming up in the morning, hiking didn’t really help and now I can really feel that skiing is a very tough sport for the knees…
All in all it was another great day in the mountains 🙂 It was not the most productive day with pix but it was fun 🙂
I was toooo lazy and also tooo cold to take pix by myself;-) But some pix should be coming soon;-) Waiting until Lars and Michi send the pix to me…
…here they are – some of them – you can find the skipix in the skigallery, I will post the hiking pix here:-)…
