Shot originally for the New York Times feature 52 places around the world. Part of my brief was to capture the 9km new waterfront promenade of Oslo from the Barcode district of Tjuvholmen down to Sorenga Salt water bath.
This was assigned in the month of November and if anyone knows about Norway temperatures even in summer the water isn’t warm so in November temperatures would have been inhuman. I was setting up my tripod and camera and started pressing pressing on the shutter. I zoomed in to the display reviewing my images zoomed in and notice there was a nutter doing flips, so I continued shooting frames and loved this one.
Equipment:
Camera: Nikon D810
Lens: Nikkor PC-E 24mm
Iso 100
Bracketing frames 1 sec to 1/30 @ F11 to retain detail without noise in image and be able to make the dramatic sky work best from the more underexposed frames
Then shooting for person to stop movement in the air 1/30- 1/125
I shot a bunch of frames so could select which one would capture the person best.
Post production: Lightroom -processing a few of the raw frames from the various brackets overlaying in Photoshop and with some layer masks painting what looked best.
