Back-country skiing Frame Grabs

[Jim Dockery]

I hauled my DJI MP2 up Vesper Pk. in the Cascades yesterday. We thought it was going to be a mostly sunny day, but the mountains got socked in, we even got sprinkled on at the summit. I was disappointed with the light, but managed to get a few good shots. These are frame grabs from 4k video.

You live for a rugged sport, way to go. This looks like very selective runs.

These types of shots used to be the realm of folks like Warren Miller using helicopters. Nice use for the drone.

I always used to wonder what I looked like from a perspective like this back when I was an active skier. I had no clue what was going to allow us to have such a view back in the late 60's.

These are really nice screen grabs Jim. That's pretty impressive looking for what we would have thought for a screen grab too. How big could you print one of these do you think?

#1 and 4 are my favorites of these.

Thanks for the comments guys.

I don't know that I Will ever print one of these frame grabs Jim, but I'm sure you could make an 8x10 look good as long as you didn't hold it up to your face.
