...I couldn't take the D50 with me on the piste like I did last year, because for the largest part of the day the sight was too short and thus the risk of falling was too great for me to risk taking the D50 and lenses.
Beautiful shots, Prospero. I really like how tack-sharp they are. So last year, did you actually take your D50 with you
on the ski trail? You must be an excellent skier! And thanks for your comment on my shot. Next time, I'll try the shot
without the foreground bush.
Gaffle, great shots! I've never seen Niagara Falls, so I enjoy seeing pictures of it.
Thanks Tori. Yes, last year I skied with my D50 in a backpack. My skiing is pretty good, so as long as the sight is good and I ski carefully, the chances that I fall are minimal. This year there were only a couple of moments with good sight; it was snowing every day . Anyway, such conditions usually don't make nice pictures anyway.
Here's a picture of the weather condition most of the time:

This is a view of a typical winter sunrise on Kintyre, taken from the bottom of my garden. It was taken with my trusty yet battered Nikon E4300. I was thinking of cropping it to remove some of the foreground - what do you all think?
