We LOVE Keystone Science School!

I have spent the last two days at Keystone Science School, chaperoning my son's 5th grade class, and trying to capture as many images as I could to "document" the week in photos. I also played a little with lenses and settings best for snow photos.

A full slideshow of the week is online here.....

And I don't do video, but this Making an Avalanche is the closest to video that I've done for awhile! Just 30 seconds & fun!

I learned a lot about snow that I didn't know.... I think I enjoyed it as much as the kids!

And a few of my favorite photos....

Merry Christmas from Keystone Resort!

We were able to spend a little time ice skating on Christmas Eve at Keystone Resort, and it was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Only 5 degrees, but there were lots of other families out ice skating and enjoying the cold weather.

And Mommy got to spend a little time with her 85mm 1.4 Nikkor Lens - great in low light, but I had a little trouble getting the focus right! And my white balance was a little off with some of the lights on Keystone Pond and the hockey rink lights - but I was able to take some good photos at 3200 ISO.

Hold a Wedding at Keystone Resort - get two free season passes!

I just learned that Keystone is offering a unique incentive to couples booking weddings to be held before November 30, 2010. Two free season passes! More information online at www.keystoneweddings.com.

Details of the offer are on Keystone's Website - or you can email the wedding coordinators in Keystone's Events Office at keystoneweddings@vailresorts.com.

Keystone weddings are really a step above the others.... they have so many different venues to choose from! I have photographed weddings at:
