Barry, many thanks for the kind words! The image was actually taken in Rypefjord in East Greenland, not the one in Norway. There seems to be quite a bit of name recycling going on in higher latitudes, even within Greenland itself. Rypefjord means the fjord of ptarmigans, so I guess that's fair enough . Looking forward to catching up with you in Gloucester! No news yet regarding timing, but will keep you posted...Ron, some fantastic images here my friend, always love those iceberg pictures of yours - They just keep on getting better each year
It seems strange (to me) to see Ezra so far away off the coast of Norway as I'm used to seeing her down at Penryn!
Reconfirming our meet up at Gloucester Docks when you fly back to the UK in November as our PM's.
Just let us know the dates as soon as you can please, then I can book a couple of nights stay up there
If you will point and shoot ...Somehow old and derelict stuff keeps creeping in my shots
Joe, these images are absolutely fantastic! I particularly like the ones without any terrestrial reference. They are wonderfully abstract and ethereal. Fabulous work! Want to see more!!More auroras with the A7R2 and Samy/Rok 24 f/1.4. These were made Tuesday night/Wednesday morning just as both the clouds and latest aurora storm were moving in. I was lucky to get out that night. We missed the rest of the aurora show :-(
Cheers!
Many thanks!Thanks Ron, love the sapphire blue ice in that image...absolutely beautiful! :thumbup:
A lovely image and great treatment! Could easily be a postcard from years past. And Mous'le's such a lovely place...Taken this afternoon in Moushole’s quaint old fishing harbour
Jim, I couldn't agree more - it's fantastic to be able to see different parts of the world through the eyes and viewfinders of people with similar interests. My fascination with higher latitudes is fairly recent, and I can't recommend visiting these climes warmly enough. The low solar elevation combined with un-touched nature make for endless photographic opportunities. Iceland has seen a tremendous boom in tourism over the past few years, but it still is quite easy to escape the masses. Renting a 4x4 and travelling off the beaten track is probably your best bet...These image threads like this one showcase equipment but for me also give me a glimpse into other regions on the world. I already had Iceland on my bucket list and Ron's recent images just brought this area higher up on my priorities.
Thanks to all for not only showcasing results from gear but also sharing your view of your surroundings....there are some really gorgeous lands and seas surrounding this planet I need to see in my viewfinders.
Hi Jim, many thanks...Well I'm English (London born) so whatever I say now will be slightly biasedBarry, I have never been to the British Isles and honestly never really had a interest to except when I used to play golf and wanted to play St Andrews. Your images certainly have changed the way I perceived what it would be like over there and have stirred much more interest in me about maybe visiting your islands.
Micheal has done the same thing for me and his area of Europe which was also a continent I had no interest before in visiting. My target areas for vacations and travel for the past 60+ years has nearly always been the Carribean.
