Nice.

I presume you were taking the photo soubs? is that from a lift?

Very photogenic place it seems.

I took the photo from the top gondala. I spotted the opportunity and was lucky with the timing that everything lined up.

It was my second visit to Zao. I met up with sunrise last year, but it was very windy with bad visibility. I`m itching to go back, and it looks as if it`s on for the end of the month.

I might add that I use a Nikon D40 with the standard 18-55mm zoom. Lugging a honking great DSLR is a pain compared with slipping my old Canon S50 digicam into my pocket, but when you hit the button, it takes the photo. The Canon actually has a better autofocus, but it takes forever, and that means missed shots.

great shot. One of the oscar nominees I reckon.

Another cracker!

Soub, sweet shot mate!!

That it is!

Thank you kindly everyone. Signing out for a while.

Your humble and obedient servant.

Great pic soubs. Pardon my dumbness but is your camera a digital one or is it the old school film ones? (do they still make film ones?)

It's a digital SLR. The D40 is (was?) Nikon's bottom of the range DSLR, and an excellent camera it is too.

D40, D3, silly cheap digicam - it's who takes the pic that matters more often than not.

Lovely pics soubs.

nice pics soubs.

there should be some sort of comp we can vote on for favourite photos

i'm not sure whether this would be at the end of winter or the end of the year.
maybe voting should be mid-year for the best photos of the moment from the previous winter

We have something like that planned spook.

Sounds good!

Nice photos soubs.

subarashii desu soubs.

Damn good photo. Defo an Oscar nominee.

Like it a lot!

i imagine it will be quite competitive between all the photo nuts on here

Wonderful!
