Photography and Skiing

I took off yesterday for solo snowboarding with my camera and learned a couple things.

First thing is that those Energizrer rechargable batteries don’t handle the cold well. I had some freshly charged ones off the charger I put in as I was packing. They lasted through 4 shots and then kept dying when I wanted to set up a nice shot from the top of the mountain.

Here’s my one self-portrait from the lifts. The others were just scenery.

So I need to a) pack extra batteries and b) pack real batteries, not rechargeables.
