TR: Dunderberg, 8/19/12 (in a 3 part sample)

I joined dookey67 on Sunday to get his August turns. We decided on Dunderberg in hopes of getting the best approach to descent ratio.

Part I: Hidden Glacier

An added bonus of skiing Jack's Glacier was meeting up with some skiers we met at Dunderberg a couple of years ago. It was great to compare notes and be inspired by father and son consecutive month streaks of 213 and 121 months.

Definitely a fun adventure. You can see more at patchskiing.com

no skiing into the water -5 pts

Nice.Like the pics and miss the skiing.You guys are lucky to be so close to it.Spence camera takes great pics.

^1985 Nikon FM2 (fully manual except for the digital light meter), 35mm stock lens.
The only problem is that hardly anybody develops film any more (except for Walgreens, which still has stores that do 1 hour processing of 35mm film). They also don't squeeze out the extra frames (usually you can squeeze out 26 shots on a 24 roll (especially if you get it processed at a "real" photo lab or, better yet, do it yourself).

:)

Four different cameras were used for this TR.
Besides the party like it's 1985 35mm Nikon we used the camera on a Samsung Stratosphere smart phone, a Canon SD850 IS Digital Elph, as well as dookey's trusty Helen Keller model Sony digital.
Can anyone tell them apart by just looking at the photos? (not using the file names in the properties)
Enjoy!

If this shot isn't unique for August on a bad season, I don't know what is...
