Second run. I can personally watch her ski for hours on a loop. Hypnotizing. Mesmerizing.

A few mentions during this mornings race of Shiffrin being the most dominant athlete in sport & apparently not just US media.

Whomever is responsible for helping Mikela grow into a media personality hit it out of the park. Somehow she hits the perfect mix of polished/never misspeaking, and coming across as perfectly genuine and relatable.
I'm sure this is just a reflection of her being her. But getting that to come across as a public persona is tough.

Fantastic genes accompanied by equally fantastic parenting. Nature and Nurture knocking it out of the park.

Kudos to Mikaela. A wise man once told me that you are the one who has to worry and manage your own career and do what you think is best for you. Because others really don't give a care
You follow the subject (Mikaela) with the camera and snap. That's why she's sharp(ish) and the background gets blurry. Could be enhanced in PS, but I doubt it is in this case.
Long exposure and following skier while shutter open. Normally you shoot skiing with 1/1000sec exposures or faster (depending on direction), for such photos you can go down to 1/10sec, but with this one it wasn't that far down... maybe around 1/50 or 1/60sec at best, so pretty easy shoot
The lower down you go (longer exposure) harder it is to get good photo, but when you get it, they look much better then those with a bit shorter exposures. For example good shoots at 1/10sec look way better then those at 1/100sec, but those at 1/100sec are really really easy to do.Photoshop.... no way. In editorial photography photoshop is out of question. Sure, you crop, and correct levels but that's it. Nothing else. Or that was your last job you ever had.
It is basically very simple: you move your camera along with the fast skier.
No way this a long exposure. White snow, bright sunlight. You can pull this off by moving your camera along with the skier. Less movement on the skier, more on the surroundings.Long exposure and following skier while shutter open.

I love some of the posts on PS.
@dj61, I just guessing that you don’t realize that @Primoz is a professional photographer....on THE WORLD CUP...who also has a very extensive background on the circuit.
He is one of the few with real WC insight and knowledge who will still post and share it.
And yes, he knows just a bit about this subject.
“No way this is a long exposure....” Still chuckling over that.
Or took it himselfLol, @Primoz probably knows who took the photo.

Nice to see it back on regular tv even if it's not always live. Did the other ladies give her the cold shoulder when she got the bronze?

Possibly he focused on the word "long". One tenth to 1/60 being long compared to 1/1000, but not what some people think of as long. So there's a reading comprehension issue too as all that was stated by... a professional photographer.
I was in a shop last week getting a Booster strap put on a Head boot. (Head's strap has stretch to it, and they actually pay Booster for the rights. There's even a little tag on it that says Booster. I still didn't like it. )
Anyway, the owner told me how the inventer/owner of Booster had been in there one day. He told someone getting boot work done that the Booster goes underneath the plastic. Well one of the race kids there jumped in and said no, it goes over. This went on for a bit, and then even after identifying himself as the inventor of the product, the kid kept arguing non stop.

Not this one we were talking about, as I'm not in Are, but had my share of this sort of stuff done... Below is latest one from my last WC race some 14 days ago in Garmisch. Actually that was training run, and it was just fun, as my primary camera was actually remote cam under Seilbansprung doing something like this:Or took it himself
And as these are my photos, I actually have data for it... ISO 100, f16, time 1/25, at 300mm.
The one with remote was at ISO2000, f8, time 1/4000sec at 19mm.

The awkwardness when you don't know your comments will be translated:
That small video for an Italian audience on American skiers has 7k views, while this well written, produced, and edited video on the retirement of an American skier for an American audience hasn't managed more than 4.5 k.
