Pictures from Val d'Isere

[yak.h'cir]

I've just returned from working the season in Val d'Isere, France. Took a few pictures whilst I was away so thought I'd put some of them in here. It almost all went horrible wrong since the P2000 storage device that all my photos were stored on died just before coming home. After opening the thing up and plugging in the hard drive directly all was restored, YAY!

Anyway, without further ado, my photos:

And for the first time ever, I will post a picture of myself on the internet! Very revealing dont you think!

Thats the one! Thought the second picture would give the game away.

Thank you all for your kind comments!

looks like tilt and shift technique, can be replicated in photoshop. i think it's done on purpose

great shots there. i love val, havn't been in a while though.

i'm off to morzine next weekend, first time away with my dslr, hope i can get some results as good as yours.

Well spotted. I was having a quick browse of the forums whilst processing the pictures and I couldn't resist! I love the effect, althought I'm sure i'll tire of it sooner or later...

I'm hoping to goto Morzine in the summer. Heard its supposed to be amazing for the old mountain biking!

You're all very kind! Although I was there for quite a few months so I had plenty of time to practice!

Yup I went boarding with my tripod a couple of times to get some pictures. For the night time ones it took about an hour to walk that high in the deep snow! It was a nightmare but fun at the same time... Shame it doesnt look all that high up though...

Can definetly see how seasons are addictive, really want to do another but then the voices are telling me its time to get a career... Maybe i'll tell the folks to shut up and go and have fun!
