Ski trip trough a compact lens – part II
Taking my parents with us on holiday means that my wife and I have the chance to sneak out for a diner for two. At first we wanted to check out what kind of food an Austrian with a sobrero would cook. But in the end the interior of the Mexican restaurant looked way less impressive than the exterior.
After two days of snow and fog, we were up for a pleasant surprise on the morning of our last day of skiing.
Maya really loved her ski mask (she even wanted to sleep with it).
On the last day in the ski school, the kids have a timed race. Here is Kobe going up for his slalom.
My dad and my wife eagerly awaited the race.
Kobe did incredibly well.
Maya had some troubles steering but she is so determined that she tried until she had it right.
At the closing ceremony we learned that Kobe and Maya each won the first price of their group.
They were really proud of their gold medal and certificate.
Skiing is a bit early for Noa, but she became champion in getting grandpa and grandma to do exactly what she wanted to.
I’ll show you some of the DSLR holiday snaps soon.

Hi there,
There is something I need to know about your pics (those made with a compact or a dslr…):
How can you get a so dark sky??? That’s something I can get with a polarizing filter, but you may give us a little tip about this. I saw the add of vignetting, but that’s not all, right? I use Lightroom but by saturating the skies, it rapdily becomes a pixel soup.
thanks for sharing your experience, and hope to hear from you soon
Best regards,

Stephane, I think the snow has to do a lot with it. Usually the foreground is much darker than the sky. If you expose for the sky in those circumstances, the foreground will be underexposed.
The snow and the sun reflecting on it, makes the foreground much lighter and levels the light between sky and foreground.
Also try playing with the luminosity of the blues in Lightroom instead of the saturation.
Thank you for the advice. Yea by thinking about it, your analyse is logical… It’s just that I didn’t think about it
Can’t wait for seeing more photos on this blog!
Best regards
