## Caption

“I love when the unexpected happens when capturing sport. Often an extra element comes into play and adds another dimension to a photograph to make it interesting and unique. I spent some time setting up a remote camera behind a jump in a slopestyle event at the Winter Games held in New Zealand in 2009. It was a stunning ‘Bluebird’ day, with perfect alpine conditions. As Jordan Reher launched off the jump his snowboard collected and sprayed a significant amount of snow from the launch ramp into the sky. This created a visually spectacular frame as he rotated across the sky. The snow looks like a cosmic galaxy or heavy snow blizzard…a surreal image as it never snows when the sky is blue. I have set up plenty of remote cameras near jumps since and nothing like this has ever happened again. - cjspencois | August 23, 2009 | #PhotographerTakeover [3 of 4]
