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

sure - the other one is still at the framers - as can't get hold of very dark grey/graphite (almost black) display board to surround it (and now this one) - u know of any uk supplier for that - can't remember size - but it would maybe extend 10-15cm beyond the size of each print - I know I'm cheeky

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

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.
A single land bridge over one of wonderful river braids in south-east #Iceland. Oct 2023.

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.
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.

Light shafts pour through tall trees with backlit ferns in the foreground which are beginning to turn brown.
Headed up to my local woods earlier, after the rain finally stopped - very glad I did!

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 small bird perched on a branch with a bright orange bill, black and white head markings, gray underparts, and olive-brown wings.
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.

I do love honey bees and bees in general but I’m always on the lookout for new subjects so I neglect these beauties.

A great egret flies low over the surface of a bayou, the feathers of one wing dipping into the water. Reflections of the late day sunlight dapple the water’s surface.
