Tuckerman, the rings are due to your UV filter! I had the same issue on my first round of borealis photos, but luckily saw that tip in an article.

Thanks Fuzz! been really happy with the 30mm prime lens I bought off of Smokan - love the flares that I get off the sun with it

Amazing shot! Love it and would enjoy seeing some more experiments with that setup!

Actually not a composite - one panning shot with flash! Didn't expect to freeze the foreground like it did without any blur, but I think it was a combination of low light (shooting just before...

A favorite from a hut trip last month, our final night we camped out, and woke up at 4am to one of the biggest Aurora displays I have ever seen. It lasted until sunrise while we skinned out.

First of all, I have to say I love TGR and I've been away too long - I've been in the habit of only trolling TGR in the winter, but after getting back into it this year I'm realizing how much I've...

Brothers of the Gospel,
I apologize for my absence ... The GSA blessed us with 3 days of clear skies and deep snow. I am humbled to have witnessed the GSA in the land of the Chugach. He only...

Brothers,
the GSA has blessed us with a fly day in the Chugach, with steep lines & endless faceshots. In His honor I offer this photo to commemorate the day. It is all I have to offer after this...

He was prepared to ride His Chariot, which unfortunately has a strict no GoPros policy.
I missed a photo of him with his pack on upon His return to camp, but He will surely grace me with more...

Brothers of the Gospel,
I am humbled to announce I have news of the GSA on this fine, but cloudy, down day.

The GSA at this very second stands on the now hallowed grounds of Alaska Backcountry...

I missed that the first time around - I like this more and more

Patagonia or Arcteryx ... such a tough decision!
I know what you're going through, just last week I had to decide to keep either my Lamborghini or my Ferrari, it was such a tough decision!
I mean...

How about some Berthoud Pass airs?
this photo of triple rock doesn't classify as BIG air, but you could definitely go pretty large off this (i'm behind the camera for this shot)...

Agree ... I learned to ski on Tele & after 8 years of that got on Alpine gear and promptly tore my ACL (and I had way bigger wrecks on tele)

well we're happy for you and all ...

did you happen to save any of this 'far superior footage'?
if so, would it be too much to ask for a little sample?

Borealis from last weekend & the solar events a few days prior. Near Deadhorse, AK - temps that night were near -40, with wind chills around -60. needless to say I didn't spend much time outside ......

WTF?! get this bad mojo out of the ski/snowboard forum! almost as bad as starting a '1000" winter' thread before the season begins!

I can't believe you have 3000 posts - I'm so much better than...

I hope I'm not the only one that feels this way ... but all this talk about 'ski what you want as long as you don't endanger anyone else' is bullshit.
Just because you are skiing solo and your risk...
