Had an amazing opportunity to experience an Arctic photo expedition in July. Travelled by ship (a small light icebreaker) around and north of Svalbard to approximately 82 degrees latitude which put us just below the polar ice cap.
Photographing wild polar bears, walrus, seals, arctic fox and various arctic shorebirds was quite a thrill. This shot was taken at about 3:30 in the morning as there was 24 hours of daylight with the softest light from about 10:00 pm to 4:00 am.

It is all about the repeating patterns apparently.
Still reminds me of macrame - very popular in the 70's along with bell-bottom flares and spider plants. Unfortunately I remember....
Congratulations on the new camera !!
Cheers

Here's one from my family vacation to Villages Nature, France. This is a shot of the pool on the other side of the lake.

Sounds like my idea of a great holiday. Not sure Mrs AFB would agree!
If there’s one place I want to visit in the USA is the Yosemite national park. Thanks for sharing.
Wedding season is over, and I am back messing around with random clicks.
Today, I found a nifty Tair 135mm f2.8 at a local thrift shop for $55 (eur40).
What an excellent vintage lens!

Thanks AFB. Yea, not everyone would appreciate the long flights (four of them) to get there, some very rough seas and a sound sleep schedule...forget about it, but I loved it. My first experience in the Arctic was so memorable that I've promised myself that I'll return.
I'll carry your bag!

Thank’s a lot! IBIS, fast AF, HAF is really great. I still have to get used to taking pictures with it, it’s a bit ‘different’
Macros are different as well - On a FF @ min focusing distance, 1:1, objects appear smaller than in those images where APS-C crops surroundings.From the same garden display as yesterday.

Something urban/abstract. This is a view of the Walkie-Talkie building in Fenchurch St. Had 15-minutes to spare before catching a train in London. I'm sure that a bit of effort in post could make it more dramatic. For once a featureless sky wasn't too much of an issue. Comments always appreciated.
