A snowboarder low in a heelside turn with a blue board, driving a wide wall of snow spray up and across the frame, goggles and helmet catching the light.

The Wall of It

New Zealand · August 2017

1D X Mark II, 200 millimetres, f 2.8, 1/8000 of a second, ISO 500

All of that came off one edge.

Same run, a second later and a few metres further down. What I wanted here was the spray as its own shape rather than a backdrop — the board is barely in it, and the whole right half of the frame is snow that was on the ground a moment ago.
