Here are a few of the 4300 test shots taken during training, to zero in focus settings. Ladies' training photo upload is complete.
May 3, 2018 Note: Purchasing is re-enabled May 3. The May 2018 price list applies to all purchases from my race photo galleries, including the 2018 U16 galleries. The previous, special U16 price list was intended to encourage prompt orders for efficient processing times; it expired in April. The May 2018 list is essentially (with minor tinkering - mainly reductions) the price list that has applied to all race photo sales for the last several years.
Some U16 purchasers have asked about submitting their purchased digital files to local newspapers, etc. They certainly may, so long as it is for editorial, non-commercial, non-political purposes and also so long as I am given photo credit (Photo by Bob Eastaugh). I would appreciate a copy of page link upon publication so I can track use. And purchasers can also use purchased digital files for other purely personal uses such as applying for or supporting admission to athletic or educational programs or institutions, or seeking academic or athletic scholarships.
Note: the 5-pack is only available for the same race/same event/same day. That is because I only have to look at one gallery.
March 28 note: I also just uploaded some of the men's training run forerunners and early starters because on race day, a coach and a parent barged in front of me and I missed three of the early men on the jump. The men's training photos are moved to their own gallery.
The price list attached to the Western Region U16 group and galleries contains special reduced prices that will expire after April 4. Travel will then delay order fulfillment for several weeks and then prices will revert to the pre-U16 lists. They will still be reasonable, but the savings opportunity will be gone for orders placed after April 4. The special prices are offered because the short window for ordering will make my editing and order fulfillment more efficient.
Please remember: no screenshots or unauthorized copying. If you see a shared image with the large Zenfolio watermark, it is pirated. I donate my time to ASC, and each race day takes me about 10 hours or more of total effort to shoot, edit, upload, and so on. The low-res files are very cheap. All sales benefit the Alyeska Ski Club juniors. Unauthorized copies deprive the club of revenue and the value of my time, jeopardize the viability of my shooting for the club, and - incidentally - violate copyright law.
Extensive FAQs discuss race images (quality, handling, choices, how long they might be available, and so on) and how to order. Here is the FAQ link:
http://bobeastaughimagery.zenfolio.com/faq-for-ski-race-photos Very important: read the FAQs before ordering anything. It is hard or impossible to change or cancel an order.
I donate all net post-tax ski race sales proceeds to Alyeska Ski Club's junior program.
You can open a Zenfolio account for free and without obligation, so you can save your possible selections, allowing you to decide more easily in the future whether to order and what to order.
Please email me any comments about the website, ordering process, and print and digital file quality. Note that what someone sees on screen depends in part on their monitor. My screens are calibrated, but most people’s are not. A file that looks great on a calibrated screen may have a different luminance or color cast on an uncalibrated screen. If it looks good on my screen, a digital file will usually make a good print at a local lab, including at Costco.
The little thumbnails in the race galleries are not fully edited. I apply color correction, enhancement, and cropping to maximize image quality in event of sale.
