Here are some more shots from Vietnam, I'm particularly happy with this first one.

This guy helped me fix my terrifying steering by bashing the steering head bearing back into shape with a hammer and chisel. I had to get it completely rebuilt a few towns later though.

Just back from 10 days in Iceland, sorting through the mountain of photographs at the moment. I've never seen such a photogenic country... here's a couple of Skógafoss which you might recognise! Both resulted in being very cold and wet, I'm AMAZED my camera survived that trip considering it's not weather proof.

I went there for 4 days a few weeks ago, lovely place! Did you see gullfoss or thingvellir national park?

[QUOTE=Lord Xenoyia;44983017]I went there for 4 days a few weeks ago, lovely place! Did you see gullfoss or thingvellir national park?[/QUOTE]

Yeah I went to both. Gullfoss was AMAZING. Although I think my favourite waterfall was one on the hike up from Skógar, it was much more remote but the entire trail had stunning waterfalls all along it.

I'm still sorting the photos, I'll stick some more in here tomorrow after they are finished :)

I like that you got the poles to blend with the silhouette in the horizon, it kind of makes them look like the are all a reflection somehow.

I really like the bottom part, the shape of the poles and how the reflections break just a little bit.

Not really CC I suppose, sorry.

reminds me of one of the beginning scenes from tokyo drift, that location

[DrLuke]

So I went to a electricityless party today. Only Candlelight and acoustic instruments were allowed, and I decided to try my hand at taking a few pictures in this super difficult athmosphere. Mind you, I don't yet own a tripod, so I had to do my best at resting my arms on tables or using the neckstrap to stabilize the images.
I didn't sort through all of them yet, but these two are ones I like, both taken with 0"5 exposure!
