Loveland Pass

105 sec f/2.8 15mm ISO 400

I went up to Loveland Pass in the hopes of going for a stroll up to the top of Snikatu last night. However, the steady 70+ mph winds thwarted my attempt. It was difficult to just stand in that intensity. So, I went downslope on the southside and snagged the above photo in a steady 30 mph wind. The cold made my trigger release stiffen up.

I turned around at the location of the last image, since I didn’t feel like skiing more rocks. I already crossed four sections along the ridge. Despite this I got two core shots in my skis on the descent. However, there were three amazing minor headwalls and a great ridge run going down!

Quandary and North Mountain

I took a little ski tour of the valley between Quandary and North Star Mountains just south of Breckenridge, Colorado today. The trip afforded me a few good photos.

Devonwood

I went to a fairly large horse show just South of Newberg on highway 99 at Devonwood. It was a 3 day event, however I was just there for one and snapped a few images of my sister and some other riders.

The light was a bit less on the indoor arena, not to mention each light in the ceiling was a different color. No flash was allowed.

Smith Rock: seconds please

An excellent 3/4 moon was the fill for this shot. 350sec f8.0 18mm Canon 40D

We went out to Smith Rocks again this week! My wife took the sharp end of the rope for another round and squashed the spider on the first pitch of Spiderman Buttress a 5.7 slab for her third lead climb ever. Naturally while out there to climb I also seized the opportunity to get some more photos.
