Ski Night Fun

Lodge Chair Lift, Mount Seymour, North Vancouver

I was finally tired of all the snow shoveling and went up to Mount Seymour for night skiing. The temperature was very cold (-6 C/ 20F) but the snow condition was awesome.

I took this shot with my Sony Ericsson K790 cell phone as I did not have my pocket cam with me. The K790 is a 3MP cell phone that has a lot of camera controls that allowed me to take this difficult shot. I wedged the cell phone in a pile of snow, turned off flash, set focus to infinity and pressed the shutter very gently. After taking this shot, my hands were frozen. :)

Fabulous night scene from a camera phone Simon. I have the Sony K800i with a 3MP camera. I used it on holiday last year and I was impressed with its results too. None quite as dramatic as this one mind you...BV!!
