King of the moguls

Another shot from the slopes during February’s trip to Telluride, Colorado. Riding up the Plunge lift one afternoon, the light was creating some striking definition of the Mammoth mogul run. I didn’t have my iPhone out so I was hoping that by the time I skied down and rode back up, the light hadn’t shifted too much. Luckily, the light was perfect and as I was shooting, a lone skier was coming down, making for a near-perfect composition. I hadn’t initially thought of it as a black and white shot but as I played around with it in PhotoToaster, the deep troughs of the bumps made it a no-brainer. Definitely one of my all-time favourite shots.
