Got a couple shots from my 08/09 Season in Les Deux Alpes, France. First real skiing photography i've done. Just shooting with my Nikon D40x and a stock Nikon 18-55mm and a 55-200mm.

Middle 2 are incredible. The others are great also but I really love those middle 2. I'm going to see what I can do about the word wrap. It's kind of bugging me.

I don't really think it matters to much, the shot is very well lit (i'm assuming you had other shop lights or something to use for the riders) and it compensated nicely.

I would've liked to see a little rim light to give it some pop but still a great photo.

i like the middle 2 quite a bit

the first(2nd)has really nice contrast

and the other(3rd) i like a lot, but possibly use a flash to light up the rider a little more, his face/top half are a little shadowy. still a sick shot

I don't think it needs any light at all. It's something you would see in a magazine. I'm not very critical of photos though.

i really like it as is, but i was just saying maybe a flash would bring out the rider more, but i'm no expert on flashes in the sun

Thanks for the comments guys. An off camera flash would be handy in the sun, but i dont like the effect it creates sometimes, think i enjoy a natural sun photo more. if you understand what i mean haha. But it can be done well.

On the 3rd one i wouldve liked to stop down my aperture to maybe f/16 or something (think i was shooting f22 or 32) so as not to get such sun stroke lines.
