Skiing 2012 - Part 1
Got back from an excellent skiing trip last Sunday and after a busy week back at work I've only just now had the time to knock up a post about it.
Brilliant skiing conditions this year with lots of snow and fresh powder throughout the week although unseasonably cold for the French Alps. Skiing temperatures ranged from -10 to -30ºC!!
Anyway, I decided to take my trusty old PowerShot S2 as it is smaller and lighter than my dSRL so easier to take out on the slopes and does still produces some great photos. Well, after travelling over to France and missing a night of sleep we arrived at our chalet and the winter wonderland so I grabbed the camera and switched it on. I was presented with the "Please Change Batteries" message - I had only just charged them up before travelling out but tried another fresh set anyway and got the same message!! Tried a few things but could not get the camera to work so gave up and decided you use my iPhone 4 for the trip.
Didn't take too many pictures due to lack of proper camera but here are a few of the iPhone snaps. I will put some others on a future post.
I think that I have now managed to fix the problem that I had with the S2 thanks to This Post I never even knew the camera had a separate battery until I read that - Doh!!

2010 Skiing Intermission
Heading to La Plagne in French Alps later today for a skiing holiday so there will be no blog updates for a week or so.
We've had a fair bit of snow here in England over the past month or so but it will be make a nice change to go and ski in it rather than trying to battle to work through it!
Here is a shot of me from last years ski trip.

Skiing Intermission
At the weekend I shall be off to the Alps for a skiing holiday so there will be no blog updates for a week or so.
I will be taking a few cameras so hoping to get some good shots whilst out there but in the meantime, here are a few photos from a previous trip.
