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!!

Mountain Intermission

There will now be a brief intermission while I go and ski down some French mountains!

In the meantime, here is a picture taken on a previous skiing holiday back in 2005.



Stay tuned and I'll see you in a week or so :)

In place of a decent fact filled post (I've been busy!) here is another shot from my archives.

This one is of my bedside reading lamp!
