Lovely series, and I like the use of mountains as a backdrop, not the main feature.  Makes for more interesting shots, IMHO.

Very interesting discussion!

Heck, I'm using my Pixel 6 smartphone more and more for travel, leaving my small and light Canon M6ii behind, unless I expect some more specialized shooting where I need a long tele for example. Fi ...

Interesting, but flawed, to my eye. What are you trying to show or say? Why the shallow DOF?

Lovely floral shots, set in great context.  Some of them even look like composite shots! Well done.

Interesting collection, and a reminder that alpine is not montane!

Each of us will have a different experience with aging.  I'm almost 73, and can't do what I could 5 years ago, never mind 20.  But some of that is due to health issues - chemotherapy to be ...

Just received the JJC adapter today.  With a bit of juggling (some extra step up/down rings stacked) I'm able to use this with my Canon 100mm L macro lens on my aps-c Canon M6ii, without cropping. ...

Nice!  and no bugs....

Nicely done.  I visited a few years back and my shots are waaay below yours in quality.  Good work!

Reminds me of the movie Pan's Labyrinth.  Not sure why?  Maybe the spookiness?  Those moss covered branches look alive.  :)

Iceland?  Tell me more!  It's rapidly approaching my bucket list....

thanks.  If it works with Nikon NEF, it should work with other formats too....be great if you can find the link.

Great advice, Vuescan.  Too bad it can't invert negatives "scanned" with a camera.  Or can it?  Anyone try?

Whatever it is, your shot is lovely and well done!

A rare non-bug picture!  Very nice...

Here I thought finally, a non-bug picture.  Sadly, no. This forum should be renamed the "bug forum" since that's all that gets posted here these days.

Nice striking series!

Camera vests are another option, even though they're a bit out of fashion.  They're good for holding accessories and lenses, not so good for cameras themselves.  But you could use a sling system ...

They make one with bigger compartments too.  I use poles frequently when I hike, especially in winter on icy trails, and find the outer compartments are not in the way.  YMMV, but remember that ...
