helmut karvlow on hayburner...

[stevep]

some galleries are up (not thursday or friday riding shots)...

http://teamronin.com/eces

i don't have the print pricing info (our T1 went down for a couple hours this morning and i am still playing catch-up at work) or the last 2 galleries built. the images in the gallery are quick and dirty thanks to post-processing automation and scripted gallery creation. they aren't cropped either...the ones in this thread are cropped, color corrected and almost ready to be sent to be printed. every image that will be printed will be post-processed by hand...

haven't decided to keep or kill the "proof" watermark. looking like it's going away cuz these sample images are small and med quality.

thanks to everyone for the kind words and patience while i ran around with a camera all week. stay tuned.

cheers!
steve

[stevep]

prices on index page. remember the prints will look more like these shots and not like the gallery shots.

friday's should be up tomorrow am...

cheers!

Well that was probably one of the last runs TB took on his 195 until it became an art piece for his basement :D

Todd was ripping as usual. I guess you didn't see him ruling upper Gondi Line?

[stevep]

todd was killing it when i saw him - he rode like a king on spillway.

everything is posted and live - 450+ shots. the friday shots are ok and should clean up well in post-processing for printing.

btw jack - i could never get a nice shot like that with my old digital (nikon 995), that's why i had to upgrade.

thanks for a fun weekend...i have to get a pic of willy's dead 167 split up in the this thread later.

cheers!
steve

[Mark Brown]

Can anyone who took any 'group shots' on Friday post a copy - Bob L.? I had to bail on Saturday morning before the rescheduled shot... 13 hours to get home - ouch

Great shots Steve! BTW - I sent you email on the NoGomers, let me know if you didn't get it.

[Erik J]

Maciek,
I was also fortunate enough to see Mr. Todd DESTROYING the snow on one of the steeper groomers under the superquad. The picture is really good, but seeing him ride smooth and precise in person would have changed your mind.

[Mike Tokar]

I can't believe the number of pictures you took. You're button finger must be as tired as my legs were.

Good riding with you in the snow Friday afternoon. I guess limited visibility gives photographers a chance to get some runs!

So where/when is it going to be next year?

MT

[Baka Dasai]

I like this one. When the board touches down you can see it's really gonna rip around quickly. Real commitment to the turn there...

[Fleaman]

WTF!!!

see what you guys started!

heh, no friends or photoshoots on powder days indeed...:D lots of fun doing laps on timberline in the fresh pow with y'all...

re: the skier...i was in the middle of waiting for the next set of riders on hayburner - saw this kid just killin' it, had to take a shot.

ready for the punchline to all this? sugarloaf was having a photo contest this week and i entered the first 3 shots i posted (chris, geoff and jack with group) as well as a shot of a patroller and his helmet (below)...got an email today from sugarloaf that i was a finalist and they will let me know what i have won later this week! so thanks again for a great weekend!

cheers!
steve

btw baka - i like that shot as well...gonna pull a good version of that one soon.

Very cool. Great shots, Steve!

Then there's me. My film is still sittin' in the fridge because I haven't had a chance to get it processed yet!

[pm_wizard]

Arthur,

If you have any shots from the first try at a group photo on Friday, could you let me know. It's the only way a hacker like me gets on film!

John

[stevep]

well, we waited 13 months for last year's shots (which rocked btw)...you are aware, if you had turned your back for a second arthur - that 70-200 L lens of yours would have been in my bag and heading south! <g>

sadly, i have to say, the ONLY time i was in front of a camera this time - i blew out on heelside...oh well.

hey arthur - can you ping me with your friend's email re: the battery pack?

[ruhtra]

I've got a couple shots from that one but I think they're from the second try after we'd put the bench back. I don't see you in there. There were a couple others shooting so I'm sure you'll be in there somewhere.

Good luck fitting it in your little camera bag!

What's really funny is a lot of people think it's got a lot of magnification so they do their big carves too far away...

Then there's Rob Sydia. He tried to see how close he could get without hitting me. Which is why I like shooting from next to a lift tower. I'm not planning to cushion anyone's fall....

arthur

[pm_wizard]

Arthur,

do you ever get the feeling people are aiming for you? Maybe you need an air bag!

thanks for checking the pictures, I'm probably behind someone's board!

John

[GeoffV]

Bob, Ben Schurman might have space to host it give him a try.

[Shred Gruumer]

Bob,

I got some space, so send me what you got and I will get it up on the web. I'll provide an FTP server and we can get it up there.

Steve, you might have to share with Geoff...congrats! Great shots all week!

Ben

[Aisling]

Steve, rockin way more than dokken ;)

[stevep]

well, damn.

this ends an almost perfect day:

- snowboarded at camelback on a free pass with great snow and blue skies
- went and visited my motorcycle in valley forge and got to sit on it and make "vroom vroom" sounds
- just shot the calendar girl contest at club ritual in Long Island

and come home to drink a beer and check my email...and find this.

that so rocks!

i'll let y'all know what i have won...i guess the next round of beer is on me, geoff.

cheers!
steve

[GeoffV]

That's pretty sweet Steve that you won with that picture, yeah I'll take a beer at the next ECES, which I think should stay at the Loaf for 05 :D. I picked my CBR up yesterday all tuned up, plan on taking it out today:)

[stevep]

ok - just spoke to the sugarloaf people...

i won a 3 day ski/stay mid-week package (hopefully for next season!) and that shot will be on the cover of the last sugarloafer printed this season (next week?)

i am getting a copy of it from sugarloaf, but would like a couple more - and i'm sure photoboy geoff would like one as well.

could any sugarloafer ping me offline and we can work out mailing details for a couple copies of the sugarloafer?

thanks!
steve

btw geoff - you suck. my ducati is back to being covered and inert.

[GeoffV]

Hey Prue Photoboy would love a copy of the Sugarloafer. Jack are you able to get copies of it? Steve if you get an extra copy sent to me with the photos.

[cmc]

Vlad, remember the original, original , original eces when we met at the Ursa lift?
