**Photography Talk**

[MENTION=145202]n2advnture[/MENTION] what does going to public school have to do with knowing how to use a camera? you don't even need to go to school to learn photography. so much free stuff online...

It's a joke to imply that I'm a dope :biggrin2:

You're right, like anything, you need to do get out and do it. I just never seem to have enough time to spend on it. :thumb:
 
[MENTION=145202]n2advnture[/MENTION] ahhh :becky: I get it now sorry.

winter time is the hardest time to learn/get motivated. that's when you practice on things inside your house or edit old pics with new tricks.
 
Where are you having trouble, n2advnture?


I shot in manual mode for years and years, because I thought all the 'pros' shot M....they don't. Haha. I too use A/V almost exclusively now.

The last few weekends have been amazing with all the new snow. Just one photo made possible by my T4R and where its taken me since I got it a couple weeks ago. High above and far beyond the resort crowds in the East Peak backcountry.

[MENTION=149574]Ropegun[/MENTION] every time I go up to the slopes I want to get action shots, but afraid to take my gear with me. I would love to get some shots like that

[MENTION=16474]leftyguns21[/MENTION] Gear certainly takes a beating out there. I've been shooting adventure images in WA for 6 years and have had stuff break, fail, repaired, and just simply praying to the camera gods to resurrect my gear at the end of the day. I shoot with full frame dslr's so there's a weight, bulk, and durability associated with it too. Taking my light kit of 12-15lbs of gear through miles of backcountry or a few thousand feet of climbing makes me question why I do it...most all the time!
 
[MENTION=149574]Ropegun[/MENTION] I almost never ride with a backpack so bringing gear up and a pack would be an adjustment. And like you mentioned id be afraid of breaking my camera either from falling or dropping it. $3k+ in camera gear getting ruined would be heart breaking. one time I took up a $200 point-n-shoot and was filming a buddy and he white washed me ruining the camera, if it was my DSLR I probably would have drop kicked him. I use a GoPro now but its not the same, cant get shots like yours

Got out for a little exploration last Saturday, amid our freezing & sub-0 temps. My wife and I went up to Rocky Man National Park (our playground) to look for nice wintery scenes.

We were greeted by plenty of snow, winds @ 15-20mph (near constant over the Winter months in Rocky) and beautiful skies (sunset) after the snow had fallen on Friday & Saturday!
