3 Shots Focusstacking Helicon Focus
Heinabergsjökull, Iceland
Extreme, Joshua, isnt it ? I feel the glacier melting
Yes, it sure is from one extreme to the other, Werner. You could put something warm on but I couldn’t take my clothes off or I would be arrested . After 2 days of that location, we moved to a higher elevation where, it was more bearable during the day and cool in the morning and at night. And the most important thing to me, at least, there were no mosqueitos higher up.
Wonderful image of the melting glacier, Werner!

Such a neat place to stay Joshua, but the road there almost killed us. Potholes are an art form in CR
Yes, it was but we had a fender bender on the way to that place... .

Two pictures of my pawned pal with the A7RII and the 24-70mm F2.8.
First Shot is @24mm and the second 70mm, both wide open. I did not plan to purchase the 24-70mm F2.8, as I already had the F4. But there is something magical with it wide open :-)
Visited the tunnels under the old cathedral here in Trondheim this weekend. It was very, very dark in some places and I had to use a flashlight for some of them, which made it difficult to hold the camera steady.
A7II and CV Ultron 35/1.7 VM.

The monument of the Pope John the 23rd from the late 1960ties - calling for the peace on Earth - Pacem in Terris (Peace in the lands -all-by the free translation) - with the young couple sitting at the foot.Are there many more symbolic signs of what most of us are after?
In addition to the beautiful images--especially, for me, of the orchids--I also very much appreciated your commentary that provided some context--technical, personal, geographical, emotional, etc.--for the images. I always wish posters of images would tell us more about the making of the photograph--location, equipment, personal context, how the images came to happen, problems or difficulties,etc. Even some insights into how an image was processed would be fascinating and instructive for others.

Lovely shots! (I have a Golden also.) I agree about the 24-70 GM--it does have a very beautiful rendering. In many images made with this lens, it almost looks like someone has lightly outlined the main elements with a very sharp pencil. The visual elements seem especially well-delineated.

What is a wildlife-oriented photography trip to Costa Rica without the red-eyed tree frog ? Please note that it is a different image than what was posted on the Nature & Wildlife Board yesterday. Thanks for looking, says the frogie...
