It means they actually have skill as a photographer and took the picture. Rather than piecemealing it together in photoshop
 
how should that work?

that shot is definatly shopped...

beside that, every photographer does some kind of editing, even if its only to correct colors, brightness... or whatever

nonetheless a very sick shot
 
its possible to get trails and action in the same shot.. i cant comment on this particular photo, but it is possible to get shit like this without photoshop.
 
I agreee.
I have looked at it long and hard. I have one of his super pricy prints on my wall. I know that he has defended it and tried to explain it before. Problem is, I don't believe it'd one shot. In THIS PARTICULAR SHOT, I don' t believe it's beautiful .
 
Pretty sure it's a timelapse effectively.
You set your camera to shoot for a length of time with fixed aperture and shutterspeed then lock it down. Normally you'd chose sub 30seconds to get the desired exposure.. Anyway you then locks the shutter release via a cable trigger type system, this then exposes for 30secs then again and again until you release the shutter. To freeze the skier during one of these passages of shutter opening he would have set up his strobes, fired them at the right time with pocket wizards then collected them and gone home to let his camera do it's thing.
After this you basically have to layer all of the photos in photoshop using a plugin like startrails. This will then give you smooth result you see above. Remember to drag your shutter.
Peace
 
Guys the photo is only done through one exposure, not multiple layers. The only post processing was colour adjustment. It was something like a 3 or 4 hour exposure to get the star trails and at one point during that a flash was set off when the skier come through that particular spot, thus it would capture the skier in that moment, due to the intensity of the flash.
 
This is right. The pic was taken by Grant Gundersun, super-extreme-badass-awesomepants-photographer. He does this type of stuff all the time. I'm pretty sure this one in particular made the cover of Skiing Mag. Not photoshopped.
 
all photographers edit but those pictures are not photoshoppedgunderson did it with pep also, he got the flash of pep doing a tipstand in the foreground and the long exposure in the backgroundwhat the flash does is shoots out a burst of light for a fraction of a second, that lights up everything in the foreground for a split secondif it's dark outside, it lights up everything you can see and then goes back to darknessonce the flash is off, you can leave the shutter open with wide aperture to take in all the light from the night sky and town above but since the photo was taken partially in the trees, it's not gonna light up the foreground. if the camera is on a steady as fuck tripod and you make sure the battery doesn't die and the lens doesn't fog, you have a damn good picture
some pictures should not be possible but people can do amazing things with cameras
