My friend Andrea Uzzo called me saying: do you want to do a photo shooting at the Swup Snow Park in the night?
I immediately accepted!
I prepared the bags with all the equipment suitable for this job: Elinchrom Ranger Quadra with remote flash control, EOS 1D, EOS 5D mkii, Canon EF 70-200 f2.8L, Canon TS-E 24mm f3.5 L, Canon EF 24-70 f2.8L and canon 15mm 2.8 fisheye.
March 26; 6:00 PM We start from the base of the chairlift "Brecciara" with the snowcat. It is driven by Massimino, an expert pilot!
we stop the arrival of cableway s to take a case of beer; beers are essential for these night jobs!
I'm at the park, the light is perfect for sunset shots with the flash.
We must immediately begin the photo session, the riders have to jump start before it's too late because the sun is about to end. it is important to take the moment!
Few jumps are enough to make the right picture!
We take a break because the snow is not hard enough and you're ruining the ramp.
10PM: Riders start to jump again on the big ramp.
I do some very interesting photos through the snow cat shovel.
I approach the jump to take macro pictures of snow crystals and photo with splashes of snow near the ramp.
The riders are tired, we move all to the structure with the Hitching Post, I shoot the last pictures and and then we go on the snowcat to go back : 12 people on the snow cat, a great record.
Then a descent in total darkness up to the cars. Great day, great fun and I hope, spectacular photos. What do you think?
