Great weekend at CB

The reports weren't that impressive, 6" and 4" over two days but it was skiing much deeper than that. What fun! Here my friend Chris goes in deep after dropping a rock in Teocalli bowl.
I'm feeling a little sad it's almost over...

Edit to add: Crested Butte got another 13" the night after this. Wow!

My friend Kevin and I had a fun morning skiing the Pencil Chute on Axtell. Beautiful morning, and fun skiing although I was a little gripped at the start. I just carried the K-x and DA40 combo to keep it small and light, but sharp.

Warm temps earlier in the week and then a little new snow on top a few days ago made conditions pretty nice and relatively safe.

My son put the hat on Naboo and I couldn't resist taking a few photos while he tolerated it. That wasn't very long!
I used my fast 50 (SMC A 50mm f/1.7) to get this in relatively low light.

Water study

I shot a few water study photos with the Sears 135 f/2.8 the other day for a class I'm taking. Light was really tough for landscapes (bright overcast) so I decided to focus on closer views.

1/15 was as slow as I could go without overexposing them but it seemed to be the magic number.
