"I have shot this series in Engelberg Switzerland on Jochpass on an awesome day. I have used a Canon EOS 50D with a 17-85mm lens."
Exposure Time 1/4000
ISO 100
Exposure bias +2 steps
Focal Length 17mm
[Ed note: The epic jump, mixed with the sun that blinds us to the full scope of the scene—my eye kept coming back.]

"I was directly below the snowboarder, standing behind the jump ramp. All photos taken with Nikon D2x with Nikkor 10.5mm fisheye lens. I didn't use any tripod, it was all hand held. Aperture was around f/6.3 and shutter speed around 1/1000sec. No flash Photos are then merged together in Photoshop cs4."
[Ed note: It's just an awesome shot that required an element of risk, capturing a classic sports action sequence (http://gizmodo.com/tag/actionsequence/) from an immersive perspective.]

Truly fantastic entries this week. Thanks to everyone who entered.
Just a note to commenters: Please, please, sing praises for your favorites. There are so many great shots here, and it's flat-out unfair for them not to be recognized. But there's absolutely no reason to put down anyone's work from the cheap seats. We will ban accordingly.
