Grouse: Cut Park Montage

The park is now running smoothly on Cut with some very fun features. Here’s a quick little edit thrown together by Shayan including some shots from Quik park when it was still in business. Enjoy.

Flash Photography V2.0

After a few weeks of mixed up orders and payment problems, I am finally in possession of my Alienbees Cybersync trigger/receiver remote setup for my flash. I took it out to Seymour to shoot the Red Ledge on the weekend but as I said in that post, I had some troubles with misfiring. I think I finally had things figured out tonight and I am quite happy with how the shots turned out. Here’s the final product.

An Update from GROUSE

There may not be as much snow on the hill as this time last season, but that hasn’t stopped park crew from keeping this running smoothly. If you haven’t been up lately, you’re missing out. The park has something this season that it has been struggling with the last few years, flow. A few new additions to Grouse’s park crew have helped keep this flow in the park. The other night I got up the mountain and did a few photo laps with Shayan, Park Crew Conrad and new Park Crew Anthony. Anthony and I had a bit of a close call with him almost landing me. I was shooting with a fisheye lens and, as anyone who has shot with a fisheye lens can tell you, it makes things appear to be much farther away. Due to this, I couldn’t tell just how close Anthony was until I felt him tap my backpack on the way down. Anyways, here are some shots from the night.
