Hey NS , had the opportunity to get up to the jump in the north face park and pipe series at waterville thanks to some nice guys at north face! it was super cold and dumping extremely hard out that night but I'm pretty stoked on these shots, didn't do much editing at all, but let me know what you like / dislike, what to improve on, ect... Thanks!

This is my favorite. The others feel to me like the skier is to far away, or that the foreground is too busy. Just my opinion though, I'm definitely not a professional.
 
I'm sorry but what does this mean? Does it mean they gave you a media credential when you asked for one?

 
none of them are keepers, the falling snow is too distracting and you can barely see the skiers

off camera flash would have help, so would shooting closer, or a longer lens. They are all way too loose
 
How many total pictures did you take?

Were you single or continuous shooting?

How many different angles did you shoot?

Why did you choose the angles that you did?

Do any of your photos show that you were shooting an event? (nothing wrong with not doing this.)

Why did you choose the shots you did?

The skier is nowhere near the apex on any of the shots you posted, why?

Why did you choose guy-in-the-sky shots?
 
It was dumping. 2 inches of snow fell during the 3 hours of that event. Flashes were not an option. Flashes would have made it much worse.
 
I can't tag along in this debate. One guy tested a strobe he said his pictures came out worse. The light was reflecting straight off the flakes. That's what I based my opinion on.

 
Yea no one was aloud on the Jump area Becuase of over crowding and judging. You could only stay on the right side of the Jump. I begged to get up there and eventually they let me in Afyer talking to a north face guy. The lights made the snow flakes super reflective so I don't think a flash would of helped alot. I shot on continuous and had around 300 pictures. There's alot I didn't use Becuase I am saving them for a project I'm working on.
 
Also I think they snow is good for these pictures to show that it was actually dumping out during the event so you can see the conditions IMO.
 
The first couple of pictures, it is hard to see the skier. The last two, there is no reference point as far as the jump or landing. IMO, a reference point is good to have.
 
okay i think you're missing the point of a "critique". you said you are saving some for a project, so does that mean these aren't your best shots? you should be showing your best shots, always
 
I would have stopped down and put a flash(if there was no other way to get light(what's the exif on them)) as close as I could, also shoot tighter/closer, really difficult to see the guy in all but one.
 
these aren't that great, sorry. way too much depth of field, thus a shitstorm of snow everywhere. shoot at a way lower aperture next time.
