Tuesday afternoon I took the dogs skiing - no surprise there - but unlike usual I also brought along my telephoto zoom lens. I was hoping to get some bird pictures. I did not see a single bird. I heard an American Pipit and tried to get a picture, but that was it.
Still the long lens was not a total loss. Its made for some unusual landscape photos, and brought all the distant mountains up close. It was a clear and bright day - so clear that I could zoom in on the Alaska Peninsula over 70 miles away and it still looked sharp. To create landscapes I had to stitch together the zoomed in photos to make panoramics.
The skiing was pretty good too. Very fast and there was blue skies above. I was surprised that I was the only one up there. Pretty much the best skiing of the year!
