The Guardian | Edfu | 2026

A photograph I actually took today. In an ancient Egyptian temple in the city of Edfu, located on the west bank of the Nile between Luxor and Aswan. The temple, 2250 years old and dedicated to the falcon god Horus, is considered one of the best-preserved temples in the entire country. Light shafts were falling into the interior of the temple, illuminating the hieroglyphs on the wall as well as the guardian who poses for the visiting photographer.

Taken with my Nikon Zf and the Nikkor Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR, an awesome combo for travel photography, image specs 1/500 sec @f/6.3 and ISO 6400, 45mm focal length

This panorama of the Gulifoss waterfall in Iceland was captured by taking 6 individual vertical images on my Nikon z8, and later processing and stitching together in Lightroom. The original is a whopping 20,109 x 7462 pixels, click to view in more detail.

Beached | Liguria

There are scenes that, when you see them, just scream “monochrome”. Like this one on the beach of the little town of Noli on the Ligurian coast in Italy. Photograph taken with the Nikon Zf and the awesome Voigtländer Nokton 40mm f/1.2.
Jpg out of camera.
