View from the Mountain

This is the spot we escaped to to get away from the moguls. It was very peaceful with not another skier to be seen (Nikon FG, Nikon Series E, 50mm, f1.8).

Bailing out of the Moguls

During our visit to Marmot, we made the blunder of wandering into a particularly nasty field of moguls. It was a blunder only for the adults, the horrors were just fine! Anyways, we bailed out through the trees and had a rest. This is one of the shots of the little horror that resulted (Nikon FG, Nikon Series E, 50mm f1.8).

Fun in the Snow

Getting this lot to look at the camera at the same time is a real game of chance. This shot was taken on a skiing trip to Marmot Basin in Jasper National Park. Photographically, ski photography is a challenge with 1980s electronic blunders. In this case, I chose an "expendable" camera (the Nikon FG) along with an "expendable" lens (Nikon Series E, 50mm, f1.8), so it would not have been the end of the world if I had dropped the thing. The other problem is that of exposure. Too much back lighting etc.

Cycling in the River Valley

Here's a shot of my eldest horror cycling in Edmonton's River Valley parks system. It was taken with the supposedly lowly Nikkor 50mm f2.0 lens attached to the Nikon FG "Barbiecam". On the used market today, the physical shape of the Nikkor 50mm f2.0 can often be much better than that of the more popular Nikkor 50mm f1.8. The former is usually cheaper on Ebay than the latter and the optical quality of the two lenses is, in my opinion, equivalent.
