Snowshoeing At Fairmont Hot Springs

It is time to deviate a little from the Photo Of the Day concept and just share a few pictures. My wife works really hard and she has taken this week for a vacation, which we are taking at Fairmont Hot Springs, British Columbia.

Today we strapped on our snowshoes and went along on a guided trek that departed from the local ski hill. There isn't a lot of snow, the lighting was poor and I lost a lens cap, so photographically the day was a wash, but our guides, Lucas, Steph, and Britt made certain that we enjoyed ourselves anyway.

Two Sides of the Coin

The ISO is so high because I neglected to reset the sensitivity after doing some hand held photography of wild birds while using a Nikon Fieldscope and adapter on my Nikon D70. Considering the ISO setting there is very little noise present.
