Scandinavia plus other places
Traveling in Scandinavia recently, my wife and I also visited Amsterdam, Penang, KL and Singapore enroute.
I carried with me two E-M1's, one with O12-40Pro, and the other with O40-150Pro. My wife carried an E-M5.2 with O14-150II.
We spent 7 weeks away altogether from mid May till end June. I hope some of the photos here are of interest and not too boring.22Jul 18, 2018 -
Stalking Seabirds in an Offshore Kayak
I haven't been out in the kayak for a long while. A shop to finish and a salmon season to make ready had kept me quite busy. I'd managed to get a couple local trips in the outboard powered skiff, but hadn't been able to get close enough to shoot anything better than mediocre at best. I woke yesterday reasonably caught up on my projects. With a good marine weather forecast, I stuffed my EM1.1 and 300 Pro into a dry bag and hopped into my 16' kayak for a 1/2 hour paddle offshore to a nearby seabird rookery. As I approached the island, the sheer number of airborne flyers made me wish I had worn a hat! Gulls waged a constant two-and-fro on their nesting cliffs and murres streamed overhead like incoming fighters. I spotted a pair of guillimots nearby and went to investigate.
Fortunately the seas were calm, something that I need when shooting out of a 21" wide kayak. I paddled further down the cliffs, unsuccessfully attempting to capture murres as they streamed rapidly overhead. There are pretty murre pictures and there are colorful murre pictures and then there's the ones I got...
Looking for an easier target, I spotted something that couldn't fly.
Many sea otter hang in the kelp beds near the island. This one is special as it has 5 legs--or perhaps one belongs to the baby she's packing on her chest.
I soon noticed was that this was home to more than otters . The flies and the smell of guano constantly reminded me I was now down wind from an island with a lot of nesting birds.
On these trips I'll attempt anything that comes my way, but what I was really after was puffins. I soon spotted a pair. I've never been able to get close enough to these guys in a skiff. This was my first attempt in a kayak and I hoped that my lower profile and quiet11Jun 5, 2018 -
Stockholm Archipelago 2018
Made a thread with images from a two week boating vacation in the Archipelago north of Stockholm (the 15th consecutive summer for me...) Of course, the m43 equipment was brought along meaning the E-M1II, 300mm PRO, 12-100, 7-14, 75 and 17mm f1.8.
Started in the old viking settlement, Birka. Published views from here before but I just love the place, here's the little guest harbour (panorama of four images)
The fields where the viking town once was placed (now occupied by sheep )

This island (Lidö) is an habitat for many bird species, here's some (all juveniles),

Cars of Havana
Had opportunity to visit Havana and enjoy the city and its people. Old Havana is akin to a living automobile museum. How they can keep these vintage cars running and looking so good is testament to their mechanical skills.
