Unlike still life photography, Hill Life leaves no time to ponder a subject. Hill Life reveals itself for merely a few seconds before disappearing just as quickly. The angle of the light will change. The skier emerges from the snow. The action is over. You must be ready. If you miss a moment of Hill Life, it’s gone forever.
