Bag a boarder
Here’s how you can capture the high-speed thrills of snowboarding
Whether it’s a competition or a parade of Monster-fuelled adrenaline junkies hurtling down the snowy slopes, snowboarding offers more photographic opportunities than traditional skiing. The first decision to make before getting out your thermals is what lenses to take. The answer will depend on how close you can get. It’s reasonable to assume that you’ll be able to get closer to casual boarders than those in a pro event, so consider 400mm a good bet for the former and 600mm for the latter.
