imAGe 2: wild, wild run
the action: Massive winter downpours in the
weeks leading up to Gravity Adventure Festival
meant the Palmiet was in full flow, much to the
delight of the white-water junkies.
the Shot: I was actually running (well, wheezing!)
up to the peak to shoot the rock rally, when this
long-lens view of the river popped into focus.
the technique: Breathe in, lock your elbows,
and squeeze the shutter ... easy enough.
The Specifications: 1/1,600th sec @ f5.6; Nikon
D800 + 80-400 mm lens; ISO 100; WB Setting
(Sunlight); no flash; AE Setting (0EV).

imAGe 3: rOcked And rOllinG
the action: The Rock Rally, sponsored by Black Diamond,
rates as one of the most visual events to shoot at the GRAV
FEST, but you had better be ready for a solid hike up the
mountain.
the Shot: With so much happening on the various faces, I tried
to capture an overview of the action with one of my wide-angle
NIKON lenses.
the technique: A low angle and deeper depth of field allowed
me to capture a whole host of points of interest in this image.
The Specifications: 1/160th sec @ f11; Nikon D800 +
16-35 mm wide-angle zoom; ISO 100; WB Setting (Sunlight);
AE Setting (-1 EV); on-camera fill-in from SB-910 flash unit.
