This gallery holds some shots of training and messing around on snow for ASC racers and coaches. A somewhat looser and more light-hearted collection than the usual all-on race photos.
Remember, no screen shots. Thanks.
December 29 update: There are now some photos of the GS training from 12/29. The on-course shots were mostly taken at slower-than-usual shutter speeds (some as low as 1/80th and 1/100th of a second), instead of the fast shutter speeds I use for actual races (1/200th, usually). The intended result was background blur and a better appreciation of training speeds. That also meant racers were often not razor sharp.
Some of these photos are also in my daily blog post for December 29, with comments about ski racing.
http://bobeastaughimagery.zenfolio.com/blog/2017/12/motion-studies-ski-racing-anchorage-2017 As of January 29, 2018, print and digital file website sales were reinstated, and as of February 13, the original - and much simpler - order process was reinstated for all the galleries in this group.
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:

Time permitting, there may eventually be promotions, such as time-limited offers at some savings. If you are interested in being told of those promotions directly, email me. As always, you can open a Zenfolio account for free, 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. But if it looks good on my screen, a digital file will usually make a good lab print, 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.
