He can jump off of rocks, but he can't ski the deep worth a ****.. This is a magazine quality photo I know, I know!! The problem is, they don't. with perfect exposure. Define "perfect"? Nice, very nice!! Lucky, very lucky. -Astro --- maximum exposure f/2.8 http://www.xmission.com/~hound/astro/03-04/index.htm --- |

Sky could be bluer. Try this: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...A=details&Q=&s ku=300501&is=REG nice pic. I touched up the pic a bit using a imaging program. Hope you don't mind. Now the sky is really really really blue... http://www.geocities.com/jiyangc/altabyastro.jpg Jiyang Chen |

Astro, was that Alta proper or were you heliskiing? Is the Heliskiing here worth it? I mean, is it that much better than say, Powder mtn was today? (I'm actually being serious here) I can't imagine it could possibly be better. Are the helicopters heated? Off to Lonestar for Onion Blossoms, chili and a GIANT steak Dave |

I won't start doing any helo skiing until later in the season....once the conditions get really good ;) Is the Heliskiing here worth it? I mean, is it that much better than say, Powder mtn was today? (I'm actually being serious here) Oh yes, for sure it's better, usually. But on a day like today, why waste the $$ on the rotor lift when you have perfectly acceptable powder via the land-based lifts. I can't imagine it could possibly be better. Are the helicopters heated? Sure thing. Those turbo jets put out more than enough BTU's to go around. Off to Lonestar for Onion Blossoms, chili and a GIANT steak FYI, IMO Ruby River Steak House has great steaks and OK on-the-premise-micro-brewed-beer. A little high-priced, but definitely good. There is one in Riverdale (near Ogden), and one in SLC. Actually, the one in Riverdale definitely has a collocated micro brewery, but I'm not sure about the one in SLC as I've never been to that one. -Astro --- maximum exposure f/2.8 http://www.xmission.com/~hound/astro/03-04/index.htm --- |

Actually, I could have made the sky substantially more deep blue simply by remembering to screw my circular B&W polarizing filter onto the lens. Unfortunately, that particular filter was in the camera bag, at the house. Oh well, live (ski, take photos) and learn. -Astro --- maximum exposure f/2.8 http://www.xmission.com/~hound/astro/03-04/index.htm --- |
