Welcome back Lloyd. Looking forward to the Iceland images - it's one of those places I'd love to visit, but looks like Venice later this year is at the top of the list currently.Wow. You go away for a couple of weeks and the place goes crazy! Hopelessly behind in commenting, but I just spent about 30 minutes going through everything that's been posted since I was last on... amazing, inspirational stuff as always. That's why I especially love this thread.
I've just returned from 11 days in Iceland. I have over 20 gigs of images to sort through. I wasn't able to work on them at all on the road as I didn't bring a computer. A friend with us let me pass them through her laptop to my portable drives, just to keep them safely backed up. I hope to post a few over the next couple of days, just lots of catching up to do around here right now.
Thanks again everyone for the inspiration. Keep 'em coming!!
Charles, these are very good - as always. The 2nd is my favourite for its line and light.Shots from a portrait shoot yesterday. M9 50/75 Lux
Wow, he's much younger than I imaginedOne of the things I've enjoyed most about this Forum is getting to know likeminded people from around the world. Some here I now count as dear friends, even thought most I have never met in person.
When I have the chance, I love to meet others from the forum in person. In every case so far, doing so been a very positive experience. The most recent time, on June 7th in Reykjavik, Iceland is a perfect example. Below is our own Stuart Richardson. (As many of you know, Stuart, in addition to being a very fine photographer, is a wealth of information on photography in general, and has probably forgotten more of the technical aspects of shooting, film, and especially printing, than most of us have ever known!)
Stuart has lived in Iceland for the past few years, and prior to our trip was kind enough to send us a number of suggestions on places to visit, etc. I can tell you that I think we followed every one of his suggestions, and were not disappointed!
The day we arrived, we met Stuart as his lab, Custom Photo Lab, and he took the time to show us around, and was even brave enough to join us for a lunch at a great place he suggested near the harbor. Great food, and a great visit. Very nice to get to know Stuart better. Thank you, Stuart!
BTW, Stuart even let me handle his Leica S2. I haven't washed my hands since!
Thank you so much Lloyd! I've been lurking on this forum for quite awhile and figured this would be as good of a time as any to make my first contribution.Great first post. Looking forward to more. And welcome to the forum!
Yep - hateful isn't it :ROTFL:Wow, he's much younger than I imagined
