Older gear challenge
This was taking this summer with a 7d mki and ef 18-135mm to show that you can get results with any gear. I made a YouTube video about it if you’re interested, search macro_action

Well that was a glorious morning for a drive across the Westfjords - above the wonderfully-named Geirþjófsfjörður.

#Iceland Sept 2019
Golden hour sun on a hillside overlooking a fjord filled with fog. Rather surreal with an opposite hillside reflected in the fjord. Grey clouds above.

A single land bridge over one of wonderful river braids in south-east #Iceland. Oct 2023.
A grey road bridge crosses a river plain with grey sand and bright turquoise river braids. There are a couple of cars at the top of the bridge.

There are lots of ever-changing sand banks at the Fellsfjara beaches in south-east #Iceland. The low tides reveal them and the icebergs hidden beneath.

#Jökulsárlón Nov 2020
Sunset at the edge of a little river estuary where it meets the sea. In the foreground is water lapping against black sand, with some tiny bergy bits of ice on the sand. The sandbank curves around and there are more pieces of ice on it. There is a squiggle of water in the middle that is pink/orange, reflecting the snow storm clouds above that cover the horizon. Above the clouds the sky is blue.

Headed up to my local woods earlier, after the rain finally stopped - very glad I did!

Light shafts pour through tall trees with backlit ferns in the foreground which are beginning to turn brown.

Johnston Canyon Banff Alberta Canada. Short hike to the lower falls. Next time I'll go to the upper falls. Unique and beautiful area.

A narrow, rocky gorge with a clear, rushing stream flowing through it, surrounded by moss-covered cliffs and dense evergreen forest.

The aptly-named Orange-billed Sparrow. These great little birds are found on the ground in wet areas, usually hidden in thick vegetation. This one was delivering food to the nest, though, and posed for me for a second.

Like a bee to a flaming flower
I do love honey bees and bees in general but I’m always on the lookout for new subjects so I neglect these beauties.
