More product photos

And I'm off to the desert of Southern Utah for 10 days for a biking vacation. I'm bringing a bunch of camera gear so expect some photos here when I get back

Recent activity

My computer is now officially slow enough that nothing runs above the frustration line. Here's some pictures.

The new Leverich "downhill" trail is quite nice.

October snow

I went snowboarding last weekend on Branham Peak in the tobacco roots.







It was pretty good for October

Air

Tyler from Twenty6 products doesn't seem to need much of a jump to catch air

another HDR from last summer.

Fall

Now it's all covered by snow. . . at least for a while

A night riding shot

Caving

Wind Cave near Driggs, Idaho (but actually in Wyoming) and the Civil Defense lava tubes near Ashton, Idaho.

New Lens

Canon 50mm f/1.8
All pictures taken at f/1.8, notice the short depth of field.

Slabs

An old one from Chamonix of me taken by then bossman Ian

Blackmore to Cottonwood

From Blackmore to Cottonwood Ride

Hadn't ridden it since I went with my brother 5 years ago. Now the trail is marked with cairns and easy to follow. It's a huge downhill following a miserable climb. Shuttling was done for the sake of the dog only, I swear.

From Blackmore to Cottonwood Ride

There was a derailler explosion on the way out. Fortunately bailing wire and a mini vice-grip fixed it quite well. I need to get some of those vice grips. . .

Biking

In Hamilton. Did a quick weekend trip over Skalkaho pass.

From Hamilton

August Snowboarding

The Tusk on Elephant mountain. There is a lot of snow around here that is here to stay.

Stone Creek

It's a pretty good trail, despite the 1,000,000 switchbacks.

Blackmore trail

It's a tough climb, but real good descent. Fresh snow in the mountains. . .

It's in the north Bridgers


An interesting comment on the first photo: The little puffballs in the background in front of the mountain are actually clouds of insects.

The Snowcrest Mountains

Not much going on down there.

I'm a winner! continued

So after winning that Outside Bozeman Photo contest I was expecting to get some kind of lame prize at the awards ceremony yesterday. Boy was I wrong. They gave me the best overall grand prize and I won a $3,000 (retail)camera setup and a poster sized print of the winning picture. It's a Pentax K20D and 2 lenses, a flash, a memory card and a sweet camera bag. I've been wanting a new camera, and the $5 in my checking account right now wasn't going to cut it as far as getting one. Lucky me.

Descending from 10,000'





The start of a glacier? A lot of patches of snow here probably aren't going to melt this year. . .
