On Peak 2 I skied down below a convexity, parked myself off to the side of the kill zone and told Peter to centrepunch the convexity. What could possibly go wrong?
Instructions to Dan. Try to look slutty and hit skiers left which is steeper but just a tad bit more exposed. Trust me....

Finished up Peak 2 as we saw a group who'd been helidropped skin off to Peak 3. We already knew there were tracks on Peak 3 from the day before and it was kind of nice to chill for a bit after the frenetic pace of the morning so we watched a conga line form on Peak 1 while we ate and replenished liquids. Then off we went for Peak 3. Nice views of our track on Peak 1 and also our route up the morning glacier which was getting used even in the solar affect of mid-afternoon. Also a classic view of Peak 1 and Peak 2 from the approach to Peak 3.

No tracks on Peak 3's glacier except a party before who'd taken skiers left

Using the old line "Let me go first to take pictures" I snake tracks down the face. It never fails to work.

200m down. Another 900m to go down this central part of the face before we get to the lake so far below

^ this exactly.
unless you have a clinometer present in the viewfinder when shooting, it's pretty common the horizon isn't straight as you are standing on a slope. I pretty much always have to correct in post, but then crop the image so you don't get those artifacts.

Ha!! Another mystery solved for the great Inspector PG Clouseau up there.
Most cameras have a grid feature you can turn on - I find this helps immensely when taking pics on slopes. Either line up best you can with horizon or a tree. At least now PG knows about crop and rotate! The more you know.

I got a grid feature. But perched on a convexity with sluff around me, standing on a tilted slope, sunny af and looking thru a screen (RX100 doesn't have optical viewfinder) using the grid is one less thing I think about. Getting shots of my friends who've never skied these faces before, getting them onto the next slope ahead of the crowds behind us and keeping things tight and moving were more a priority,
Edit - I have PG on ignore. Highly recommended. Keeps insane ravings out of your feed.Last edited by LeeLau; 04-07-2021 at 08:18 PM.

I think a localized wind event caused your camera to be tilted like that

Perhaps. Uncorrected, the mountains in the background look quite suitable. Why the angle needed to be corrected in post surprised me.
And that is why I thought it strange to see that one artifact.
Perhaps these are my insane ravings. Or, perhaps I noticed something and simply wanted to ask about it.
My browser has a protractor plugin. When I saw the artifact, I measured 3.3 degrees of correction. When I compared that photo to the one below it without a crop artifact, it measured *another* 2 degrees of rotation. So, +5 degrees of difference from photo 1 untouched to photo 2 below it (zoomed in). Just seemed not on the same horizon line.
My wind-research spills over into that field as well as many others. Ha ha
I just found it curious that the photo needed to be corrected in post when the mountains and angles looked just as good un-photoshopped.
It was just a question. I don't see what is insane about the observation.OH, MY GAWD! ―John Hillerman Big Billie Eilish fan.
