you could make a slide out of footage, it just takes a lot of work.

You'd have to print it out so it's absolutely photo quality and then get it converted to slide form. It can be done but it's mad expensive.

they are probebly gonna laugh at any pic taken with a camera under $2000 dollars. no way will they take a low quality print of screenshot from a video still. slides have much better quality and coloring than prints. of course you have to be on salomons - do you think that salomon is gonna give $15,000 to some guy riding on K2s?

Yeah, 3ccd is better then 8x10 print quality. And again like yeti said you CAN take digital pictures and convert them to slide, its just very expensive and not really worth it...

when they say pro photographer i dont think they mean pro photographer like scott gaffney,flip mccrick,james lozeau, etc. i think they mean someone that takes pictures in general for a living, not a person that takes ski pictures for a living, but you never know

iwould suspect that theyd use the pic for a poster or one of their ads and it wouldnt work to have one of their competitors skis on it.

I'm more interested with the 'look at me with this hot chick' photo contest. I think I'm going to set up a photo shoot with the cheerleading squad in bikinis. Hell yes.

they said the picture will be the centerfold in the october 2002 issue of FREEZE.

I dont think anything digital is going to match up to the quality they want of a 35mm slide.
