Edinburgh Mountain Film Festival Photo Competition
Some of you may have seen some of the Scottish skiing photos I've posted on SH in the past and two of the more recent photos from last Spring have made it through to the final 12 in this year's Edinburgh Mountain Film Festival Photo Competition.
The voting/judging this year is a bit different to normal.....Facebook is required!
Rules
Excerpt from the EMFF email.
"We do need your help, however, to pick a winner for our photography competitions! The short-listed photographs from each category are now available to view on our Facebook page. To vote, you just need to 'like' your favourite photos. You can like as many photos as you wish, and the photo in each category with the most likes will win the competitions!"
I don't want to influence anyone's final choice too much  as there are another 10 great photos to chose from including one fantastic ski photo but if you are on Facebook and interested in voting, then:
-Click on the links below each photo and 'Like' your favourites. Voting is currently close so every vote would be greatly appreciated!
Photo Exhibition

"EMFF Photography Exhibition Opens @ the EICA

The exhibition, which is free to view, runs until 29 October, so check it out next time you are out there. Make a day of it and go climbing too!

Thanks for the votes and comments everyone! With one week to go, the photos currently sit in first and second place but voting is still close.

Thanks to everyone who voted for both of my submissions that made the final 12 of the Edinburgh Mountain Film Festival Competition. Finishing in 1st (Coire an Lochain, Aonach Mor) and 2nd place (No3 gully, Ben Nevis) in the Focus category was more than I could have hoped for. Thanks again!

FAQ
I was lucky enough to be below to see mrcarruthers skiing the line in the first photo, dropping the cornice to get in, jumping the turn to perch on the point of no return above a meter wide couloir and hearing the noise of his skis rattling against rock as he accelerated to warp speed on his way through. Amazingly, I got the impression that I was pooing myself more just watching it than he was skiing it.
