Brazo Sur, Perito Moreno



Brazo Sur, Perito Moreno, originally uploaded by jon-w.
the shot was taken near a viewing platform for the world famous perito moreno glacier in argentina - while everyone else was taking shots of the glacier peeling off into the lake, i was turned the other way taking shots of this view! I used a digital compact for this shot, which just shows you dont need a DSLR (though there is admittedly alot of work back in the digital darkroom needed to get this look). For some shots of the glacier (and much more) please check my photostream - happy shooting!

It was a lucky moment when I caught those sunbeams with my small friend (Canon IXUS 75), because during 2 weeks I spent in Basingstoke there was the only one sunny day.

Bratislava - Pozsony, originally uploaded by zsoolt.

Bratislava (German: Pressburg, Hungarian: Pozsony) is the capital of the Slovak Republic and, with a population of about 429,000, also the country's largest city. Bratislava is in southwestern Slovakia on both banks of the Danube River. Bordering Austria and Hungary, it is the only national capital that borders two independent countries, and it and Vienna are the two European national capitals closest to one another, at less than 60 kilometres (37 mi) apart.

Grass and Trees at McKenzie Point

I am an amateur photographer living on the shore of Lake Superior who was lucky enough to meet up on Flickr with a wonderful group of local women photographers who share my passion for nature photography. The morning this photo was taken we were supposed to go on a snowshoe/photography trek, however, the weather forecast was predicting overcast skies so it was decided to postpone the hike and wait for nicer shooting conditions. I was all packed and ready to go so the next morning I headed out before sunrise to a location much closer to home (McKenzie Point Conservation Area) in the hopes of perhaps getting a glimpse of sunshine and was rewarded with some lovely cloud formations and a bit of colour in the sky. Enjoy!

this photo was taken in our backyard during this winter. As the title "samba dancer" suggests it is what I see in this macro capture. the biggest flowerbud has some tiny parts of ice on it and so does the "dress" which is part of a plume of a "aster".

Silent guardians


Silent guardians, originally uploaded by Lune Rambler.

The two larger trees always seem to me to be sheltering the smaller one in the middle, even more so today after the heavy snowfall.

Snow silences everything, there was no sound at all; just a white landscape under a bluey-grey sky, and these three trees.

Taken today around noon by the Lodge cottage.

Icy and Snowy River


Icy and Snowy River, originally uploaded by Tapio Hurme.

The picture was taken in the South Finland and it describes the normal winter here over 60 latitudes after few warmer years.

General January drops the temperature down to -25 degrees Celcius (-13 degrees Fahrenheit). It is time to visit Nautela rapids if there are any free waters. Yes, there are. Icy water runs slowly through the snow blanket and the evaporated water forms tiny smokes in the cold air.
My fingers are chilled but the view warms me inside. :-)

Duck in Flight


Duck in Flight, originally uploaded by trullez.

This picture was caused by a big dog that ran at these ducks. Knowing that they would have to fly any second I could prepare for this shot. It's one of my first handheld photo's with my heavy 120-400 lens.
