Rsa'ers & Rsam'ers
Mikey, TCS, Chester, Uglymoney, bw, Jay Peak (sp), ant, Walt, etc....
In the spirit of Mike S., and just because I wanted to share, I have started a site with my ski life of 2003/04. I just want to share the pictures. For those of you down under, I hope the snow pictures of the northern part of the planet keep your ski spirits going. For others of you in parts north without snow, I hope this gets the fire going. I bought a Minolta Dimage Xt camera a few months ago. I have been pretty damn happy with it. It is so tiny, that it will be in my pocket every time I am out. I plan to keep the pictures coming. Anyway, it has been a long summer. My first two days of skiing are at: http://www.iskico.com My new twigs are sweet. I hope all of you in the northern part of the planet a long sweet ski season. It is a bit hard to retire my twigs of old. They got me down several runs down under. Last Sunday was special. Really special. And that is what this group should be about. The turns, the special memories. It is about the people you share the ski experience with once, or many times. Sam "Colorado native. OK, lets log some more turns" Seiber |

Isn't it amazing what kind of pix you can get from one of those little boxes? Of course, your fellow Coloradoans with their bags full of big lenses will notice the limitations. But they have to haul their cameras, not pocket them. |

Snipped Hi, Sam, I recently bought an Xi (same physical size as the Xt), and I love having a 3MPX camera available wherever I go. But, I am a little worried about handling it with gloves on. Did you have any trouble operating the controls? Do you have a tether to keep from accidentally dropping it? (I have this terrible vision of seeing my $300 camera falling in slow motion from a ski lift and disappearing in a snow bank!) I noticed a couple of your pictures were blurred, do you think this was focus, or camera movement? C. |

It wasn't killer cold the days I took the photos. As far as using the tether, nope didn't use it on the lift. While I handle objects on a lift, I really try to keep my **** together so I don't drop something. So far so good on that endevor. As far as the few blurry pics, I am not quite sure right now. I am still fairly new at using the Xt. With the shutter delay in a digital camera, I had a hard time timing things to keep the downhill chair out of the picture. Anyway, looking for a hole in my schedule so I can get back up. Damn, sometimes having 2 jobs just gets in the way of having a good time (tm). Sam "OK, everyone, lets eat up!" Seiber |
