Does anyone use anything besides their cellphone to take pictures when skiing?? I’ve started to really enjoy documenting pretty scenery and notable trails and features at the mountains I ski, especially if I’m skiing solo. There are days when it’s more about the actual skiing and then there are days where I like to stop and smell the roses a bit, take everything in as an addition to actually skiing. However, what I don’t like is the feeling that I can’t ever really capture the beauty I’m seeing in person in my photographs. Things that look so majestic in person, somehow become diminutive in photos. I know part of this is learning some fundamentals in photography, but then I’m also thinking a “real” camera versus a cellphone camera is needed. Any amateur (or beyond) photographers here that like to especially focus on scenery and landscapes in the outdoors? Any tips on resources to develop some basic skills and on cameras that are more advanced but not overly large? I want more than a point and shoot, but also something I can carry around on my person skiing without needing to carry an additional bag if possible, etc. Does this exist?
