Small resort with awesome trees if there's pow. We explored a new part yesterday and found good stuff. but I got taken out by a concrete branch and got a split lip. then I lost the handle for my shovel. it was going to be a rotten day but then we found the handle and then ended the day by riding down the snowed in ski jump. he he he Link to post Share on other sites

woywoy 0 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Sick pics again Kuma. Which Digital SLR are you using??? Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 Nikon d50 with 70-300 ed nikkor lens. takes real nice pics. the frames per second is only 2.5 so that sucks. you can't just hold the button down and hope for a good shot! Link to post Share on other sites
woywoy 0 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Right ... I am using a D70 with 18-70mm Nikkor lense. I havent taken it up the slopes yet though ... How do you keep it safe and secure when you take it up? Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Yeah, I wanna know that too. I have been hesitant to take my D70 out... Link to post Share on other sites
woywoy 0 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 You have a d70 too Bushy? How do you find it? Have you bought many accessories or new lenses etc. for it? Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 love it mate. I use a Tamron 28 - 300mm lense, which is great for me cos I love wild-life shots. Got some sweet pics of tonbi (black kites) soaring. I haven't bought anything else for it. You? Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 bushy has some amazing pics. ive seen his porfolio and some need to be in magazines. Link to post Share on other sites
woywoy 0 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Great Bushy. I have only got the lens kit lense, which is the 18-70mm. I would really like to get a big zoom for it though! How much did you pay for the Tamron lense? I have a few pics up online here at FLICKR. Check them out if you are interested. http://www.flickr.com/photos/62464510@N00/ Do you have any up online anywhere Bushy??? Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Mate, nice pics! Some of those night shots at the temples are awesome. I don't have any online. Might look into it. I asked for the Tamron lense instead of the standard one when I got the camera, so dunno how much. I think they go for about 3 or 4 man... Link to post Share on other sites
woywoy 0 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Cheers Bushy! I have really got into the photog thing over the last year or two but still have a lot to learn. I am not yet really up on all the functions that the D70 has either. Definitely going to look into a BIG MF ZOOM! Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Big zooms are where it is at! Love being able to get in close on things. I am in a similar situation NPM, only really got into it in the last few years. I really enjoy it though Link to post Share on other sites

Kumapix 0 Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 NPM I really like your black and orange leaves picture. I take the dslr up in my burton zoom pack. No cover for the cam so I only shoot when it's not snowing. I have mitts that has removeable fingers so my hands don't freeze (1000yen at uniqlo)- i wear them under my burton ak mitts. the zoom bag is real good if you're shooting in the resort but you can't fit a shovel/probe into it. You can only carry a cheap 100$ tripod on it, not a heavy duty pro one. I use it for video too. I have a rain cover on my video camera though, so I can shoot when it's snowing. I also take a collapsible umbrella to block snow/sun Link to post Share on other sites
woywoy 0 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Cheers Kuma. Your action pics on the snow are always excellent too! I really don't have enough action photos ... What is this zoom bag about? Is it a camera bag made by Burton or what? Link to post Share on other sites
