Thanks
The weather was very hard that morning at Dyrholaey .. Almost storm and heavy rain
so it was not easy to get great shots ... but agree that it was good weather for dramatic pictures anyway .. the problem was to keep the camera and filter clean from saltwater and rain .. It was impossible
Last picture for today ..
Taken through a car window somewhere in the Highlands

*sigh* so resistance was futile. Picked up an A7II from the B&S just now, along with the 55/1.8 and then a new 28/2 from Amazon Hope to be clicking soon, then it's a fire sale on my m43 stuff.
Simple 2-lens kit.

I think you'll be quite pleased with the camera. Eye detect AF and the 55/1.8 is a pretty beautiful combination
Ronny, welcome back, and stunning stunning images!
Gregg, as always amazing shots!
Joshua, the colors from those Batis shots are wonderful!
Helena, that black and white shot is beautiful!
I have no doubts now as to the viability of the Rii and the 70-400g2 for wildlife for what I shoot and what satisfies me. The tracking in AF-C was too easy, just keep the little dancing green boxes on target. Of course better light would have helped but the Rii did its job-
Twoeye/Ronny - incredible captures from 'The Cold' Ronny, simplicity of your compositions and perfect lighting (p. 1158 - Stokksnes) make the images truly outstanding! Can't wait for more.
Couple more selective comments:
- snowboarder, great to see how you see what I see
- Charlie (uhoh7) love your series on page 1157, particularly 'Bright Spot' Brilliant!
I like it so much that gotta ask you; why didn't you step down to avoid trees in the foreground? Re-shoot it again and send it to National Geographic, I mean it. This is, IMO one of your best shots!

That's why I post, so I can find out which are the good ones! High praise coming from you, thank you And I thought the last one was the best, haha.
I actually like the trees there, but there really was no option, that spot was friggin flying. I shot it right out the passenger window of my jeep in a panic to get something. This one was about 2 minutes prior, same big lens, but I did not hit it quite as well:
Both the previous and this one don't have huge edits, though it looks like I'm trying to exaggerate it. 300/2.8 does wild things. I made this one a touch colder.
One more in the same vein, taken about an hour earlier with the same lens (300/2.8 AIS):
This was the first Nikon ED lens, introduced in 1977, and it was coveted by pros for 2 decades, those who could afford one or more likely, convince the boss to afford it. It has incredible bokeh in close, and was prized for portraits. Yes, a 300mm portrait lens!
Greetings People! I've been traveling for work in Europe and finding some time to shoot but little time to catch up on this thread. Currently I'm in the Netherlands in Den Haag (The Hague). Here are some night shots of the Dutch Parliament building and the Mauritshaus (home to Vermeer paintings among others).
Cabo da Roca in Portugal is the most western point of Europe. Its very impressive. On the last photo I sat on the edge of the precipice and drank a beer. Then I AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH..
