Thank you very much Ben, glad you enjoyed it! :) I actually love B&W, when the subject matter works like here I always go for it - I tend to post more colour images on the net, perhaps because people seem to appreciate them more for some reason (or at least that's my impression... might be wrong...

Iceland's landscapes are very graphic & monochromatic in nature, with their black rocks & black sands covered by white snow & blue ice, and I love to portray them in B&W when the occasion arise. 51 seconds of exposure with my Hasselblad X1D II, Hasselblad XCD 45mm and Formatt-Hitech Firecrest...

Thank you very much Alan, glad you enjoyed it! :) Thank yo uvera much Ben, glad you liked it! :) Thank you very much indeed Alisa, it was a truly beautiful morning! :) Thank you very much Jameel, glad you enjoyed the LE here! :) Thank yo uvera much indeed Jim, that is truly kind of you...

Hello again Ben, thank you for the info. About 11 vs 16mm, while 11mm is wider than 16mm as far as the angle of view it covers, that per se doesn't mean that the image circle created by a 11mm lens is necessarily larger than the image circle created by a 16mm lens... :) Unfortunately, many...

Hello Ben, thank you for your comment, glad you found it interesting & useful :) About the 11-24mm, I know it's extremely good (on FF), but it doesn't take 100mm filters which is a no-no for me, plus I am not sure whether it will cover a 44 x 33mm medium format sensor - do you have any...

Always looking for great wide-angle options for my Hasselblad X1D, I decided to examine the Canon 16-35mm f/2.8 III vs Canon 16-35mm f/4 IS. While I tested them on the Hasselblad X1D, the results will of course apply to FujiFilm GFX users as well, and have been surprisingly interesting. Both...

Saint Michael's Mount, in Cornwall (UK), is a beautiful and extremely photogenic island, and one that contrarily to its more famous French homonym gets completely isolated at high tide. While normally photographed with its iconic causeway from close, I also love to portray it from the distance...

Hello Steve, Thank you for you comment and sorry about the late reply, I have been away from fora for a few days (busy with other computer work, unfortunately, and of the boring kind!). I really appreciated your comment, which mirrors my experience of - and behind the creation of - the image...

Thank you very much Mike, glad you enjoyed it! :) Yes, if you love mountainscapes there are very few areas as rewarding as the Dolomites - highly recommended! Hello Ben, that is truly kind of you to say, much appreciated, I am glad you enjoyed the shot! :) Thank you very much Alan, I am very...

One morning, on the Dolomites, driving back to the hotel after our sunrise session we saw some incredible light hitting a distant peak. We just had the time to stop, take the camera out and take a couple of shots, and the light was gone. I almost never shoot handheld, but this is one of the very...

Thank you very much indeed Ken, glad you enjoyed it & the composition here! :) Thank you very much Alan, glad you enjoyed the textures here! :) Thank you very much Ben, much appreciated, glad you found it evocative! :) Thank you very much Jeffrey, glad you enjoyed it! :) Yes, I did use...

The Cornish coast is all beautiful, wild and inspiring, and it's among my favourite destinations. One of the locations I particularly enjoy photographing there is Porth Nanven, portrayed here at sunset. The two rock formations felt like guardians to the Porth's entrance. 25 seconds of exposure...

Thank you very much Ben, glad you enjoyed it! :) Yes, the lake was completely still, no wind at all and very little clouds moving very very slowly - even with 102 seconds, whatever clouds there were still look pretty shapely. Thank you very much Alan, glad you enjoyed it! :) Thank you very...

Besides the famous peaks, the Dolomites feature many small lakes, surrounded by the mountains and all very atmospheric and inspiring - either thanks to the ubiquitous fog, or because of the reflections they create - or both, like here. This is Lake Dobbiaco before sunrise, 102 seconds of...

Than you very much Alan, glad you enjoyed the LE and the mood here! :) Thank you very much indeed Ben, glad you liked it! :) Thank you very much Jameel, and thanks for your suggestions - however, the stone makes the shot for me, with the contrast of bright / dark with the building, man made...

Thank you very much Douglas, glad you enjoyed the colour palette here! :) Thank you very much Jim, glad you enjoyed the composition! :) Best regards, Vieri

Besides featuring some incredible landscapes, Cornwall, in the UK, is a testament to the mining past of the UK. Dotted with abandoned and ruined engines and mining sites, some of which have been turned into open air museums, together with the Atlantic skies the Cornish landscape offers endless...

Thank you very much Ken, glad you enjoyed it! :) Yes, 16 seconds as mentioned above, just to smoothen the clouds a bit. Glad my images serve of inspiration to revisit some old locations! :) Thank you very much Steve, that is truly much appreciated! :) Tent, stove & beer is a great way to...

Hey Jim, yes it seems they did a pretty good job - still many important features missing, though, but at least is a sign that they are alive and at work ;) Best regards, Vieri
