Not related, but I've been trying to do that 'deadpan' thing a few of you have been doing. I can't get it at all. It's a lot harder than it looks. Cudos.

Looks more like Fallout to me.

edit: For content, here are some shots that I can't quite get the right white balance on. I'll get them right eventually, I'm sure!

Went out to the West Coast when it was super rowdy, get some pics of the big swells rolling in.

Tried to get a short enough exposure time that it would show some of the wave detail.

Turned out pretty grainy, as to be expected I guess



Some other ones on a longer exposure at lower ISO:





But didnt quite capture the rush of water as well.

Will try again some time when it's a little bit lighter, was only by moonlight.

I spent a week hanging out with one of my friends in the Smokies and Nashville, then spent the weekend with my girlfriend in southeastern Missouri. I've got so many pictures to work through now. Gonna take forever to get through all of these. I'll start off with some shots from Tuckaleechee Caverns:

It's about learning to look at the cultural landscape in the way we look at the natural. Almost everything in a built area (and even out in the countryside) can tell you something about the culture that inhabits that place. The English author Jonathan Meades, who writes a lot about place and architecture says if you look at anything long enough it becomes fantastical.

Someone posted this recently (can't remember the thread), and it's got some great tips for how to look at the human landscape: http://mrso.pbworks.com/f/Peirce%20Lewis_Axioms.pdf

I saw that, as much as I would like to go back I for see myself exploring some other corner of the world. Iceland it defiantly a place I am hoping to return to at some point though.

Last of my photos from the Westfjords in Iceland, nearly done now. I think it was probably my most productive region of Iceland for photos.

I've been in New Zealand for the last 2 weeks and it's been loving raining 90% of the time. Don't go to NZ in spring! Sydney is next, hoping the bush fires clear up soon.

On the plus side, my Mt. Bromo photo was posted on the Flickr blog, I guess I'm finally A Good Photographer. Yay me

Weather is a bit of a bitch. When I was in Iceland it rained for a good portion of the time I was there, defiantly missed out on a number of locations due to the weather.

I was on South Island in June, hardly saw anything and most of my planned activities were cancelled. There was some huge polar storm that ripped through. I managed to get to Milford Sound after 6 days of waiting. Luckily it was a bluebird day so I have some nice shots, but I'm still working on them. I had two months in five countries so it's been taking forever to get them all done.

Oh wow, we haven't had it that bad, just wind and cold rain. I've never even heard of a polar storm.

I hear you on the backlog, I have a huge one to go through as well for this 5 country 2 month trip. I'm kinda looking forward to getting home to start processing but I usually end up picking only the best 5-10 from the whole trip and doing those then a new backlog starts building. Either that or I rush through a bunch thinking I'll go back through later and fine tune any I want to print (hahahaha yeah right).

And I think these are the last of my Iceland photos. While I didn't have the best weather it was a stunningly beautiful country that I would love to visit again. If anyone has a chance to visit I would defiantly do it.
