I like the top one - black and white seems to work really well for snowy shots. :D

Not tried it myself, but some of the shots in my wedding album are taken on an angle and these really do work well. Meant to give it a go when I was away but didn't get round to it. Next time perhaps?

It's all well and good to ski when conditions are a bit iffy (guilty as charged on this one) and deserted pistes are great, but when you can hardly see the piste (let alone anyone in front of you - we had an afternoon like this in Sauze and the last run down was a bit scary!) it's sometimes better to admit defeat and keep your sanity (and limbs!) intact. :shock:

Hope you still had a great time though, despite the weather, and look forward to seeing the pics (assuming they aren't all a whiteout!) when you get back. :D

They're definitely different!

Is it just me though, or does Mrs_H (I presume...?) look like she has been squashed from above in the first shot (or was that the general intention?) Nice jacket though – green looks very smart and is that bit different.

I'll leave any more critiquing to those who actually know something about photography :D

The Number 1 single was:
Gary Puckett & The Union Gap - "Young Girl"


What a load of old rubbish. Why couldnt it have been The Beatles or The Rolling Stones?

Sod's Law?
Blame your parents - I'm sure they had something to do with the date at least :lol:

So, guess what I'm going to do now.... (Curiosity always gets the better of me) :D

I know lots of people that are well schooled in looking left and right when crossing the road, a few unfortunately have been caught out.

Seriously though, the perceived risk is a whole lot different to the actual risk. Chances are seriously slim if you are careful.

Very true. I'll have to book some powder lessons next time I'm away and give it a go - you only live once, so might as well make the most of it :D

I'm obviously going to the wrong places - just about every instructor I met in Sauze was old enough to be my granddad :(

Good job I had a gorgeous husband with me to make up for it :D
