Every Sunday evening at the base of Whistler Mountain they have the Fire & Ice festival. Besides fire dancers and fireworks, the main event is the stunt show put on by the Whistler ski school. At the conclusion of the show, they put up a huge burning ring and jump through it to the delight of the crowd.
It’s a tough thing to photograph between the huge crowds, the darkness, the distance to the jumpers, and the high speed. I wasn’t in a good spot because frankly, I was in the Garibaldi Lift Company enjoying a cold Kokanee.
Vital Stats: Canon 5D Mark II w/Canon 70-200 f/4L @ 200mm ISO 3200, f/4, 1/200 sec. A Canon 580ExII flash stops the action.
