Title:	Chapelco ski center.
Gear used:	OM-10 + 50/1.8.
Diaphragm:	f16
Shutter speed:	1/250 (or so)
Film used:	Kodak Royal Gold 100 ASA.
Technical information:	Just point and shoot (while I was standing in my skies). It was scanned with my old Umax 640P so I had to correct a little bit the contrast and the colors to looks more like the real image.
Subject information:	I was skiing in Chapelco (a ski center in San Martin de los Andes in the Patagonia Argentina), and I couldn't resist to take some shoots. There was a lot of snow everywhere and you can see the Lacar lake between the mountains. It was the only lens I had at the moment so I tried to include everything that was possible to reflect that incredibly view. These are the first shoots that I'm taking with my olympus, I hope the next shots to be better.

At first glance I thought "Those trees must be Nothofagus - the southern beech; can't be beech in this forum !!". Well, in Patagonia they would be exactly that. Water in two of its forms, and a great scene as well. You've made a start, so now it will be easy to continue.

This brings back memories of a pleasant stay at the Hotel HuaHum(sp??) at the head of Lago Lacar after crossing from Panguipulli. No snow then but the beeches were in full fall color.

I'm terribly jealous. I haven't seen that mush snow in years.
