More pictures from Iceland

1) Lomagnupur mountain is a huge rock on the South Coast, known for being one of the most recognizable mountains in Iceland.

2) A variety of foregrounds around the mountain contribute to making Lomagnupur a very desirable location for landscape photography

3) Fossalar river and waterfall are located in South Iceland. A series of cascades and its surroundings make it a popular stop for photographers

4) Fjadragljufur canyon (try to pronounce this...). When the glacier retreated, a lake formed in the valley behind a hard resistant rock. The runoff from the lake flowed to where Fjadragljufur is today, and erosion did the work

5) The most distinguishing feature of Seljalandsfoss is a pathway that stretches around it including the area behind the waterfall. Raingear is required to walk along the pathway

Thanks for looking!

Jacob, these are great! And I missed them all when I was there.

Flight of the Great Horned Owl

Around sunset, the mother of the GHO chicks I've been showing becomes active and flies from tree to tree always landing in a place where she has a view of the nest. In this case she went from a very tall oak tree to a pine tree and I captured her in the last glow of the sunset. Using 40 FPS allowed me to have some frames were she was mostly visible as there were trees between us.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Morris

Nice set, Morris. I plan to do a similar stealth set with the Egret shots but not as dramatic as a mother owl and her nest. Interesting the way it stalks its prey then grabs it in the shallow water.

Bob

Thank you Bob,

Some egrets and herons shade the water to see without the glare

Snuggling Great Horned Owlets

Two tight crops of the great horned owlets who were sitting on the top of the hollowed out tree that's there nest.

Nicely done Morris! the owlets look very cuddly.

I am guessing here that you are addressing me...with this format it is not always clear; perhaps it is better to use "Quote" or paste in some text for context?
If my guess is correct thank you for your kind comments Lewiedude! I agree that it is a great camera; I have definitely not reached its full potential; I have two of them so I don't have to swap lenses on a trip.
