Ski Santa Fe

On Monday, January 18, I took my adopted grandson Jim and his friend snowboarding at Ski Santa Fe.  It was Martin Luther King Day, so it was a holiday for many and there was no school.  It was a perfect day to enjoy the outdoors, the snow, and the beautiful scenery!  The roads were clear, and the weather was perfect – about 40 degrees, sunny, and no wind.  The boys spent about 5 hours on the slopes, and I got the opportunity to wander about and enjoy capturing photographs of the abundant snow-covered vistas.  I used my Nikon D7100 with Nikon 28-80mm F3.5-5.6 zoom lens – lightweight, versatile, and easy to carry.  The boys had a great time and I got to practice skills in photo composition and getting the right exposure in a variety of lighting conditions.  I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed capturing them!
