Up and close

Getting up and close to scooter, Shenzhen, China, X100F

Close focus with the X100F in Shenzhen — getting inside the normal comfort zone to let the geometry of the scooter dominate the frame. The X100F’s fixed 23mm equivalent allows you to work this tight while keeping enough environmental context to place the subject. Converted to monochrome to strip the urban colour noise and let form and light speak for themselves. See the full article: China — Shenzhen Day 3 on IJM Photography.

The Sun Voyager steel sculpture in Reykjavík, Iceland represents an ode to the sun and serves as a symbol of hope, progress, and freedom.  I shot with a 15mm lens to provide a more dramatic view of this widely seen sculpture.

Cheers,

Pyramiden Spitsbergen

There has been lots of talk recently about Spitsbergen and Greenland. Here in Norway Pyramiden is an almost abandoned Russian Mining town on the archipelago.
I took this while sailing into the harbour on a visit here. You can see how it got its name.
