"Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky,
That dost not bite so nigh
As benefits forgot;
Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp
As friend rememb'red not."
- , As You Like It

Pale pastel shades of the sky, mirrored in the shallow stream. Ice-caked and snow-dusted, the mountains angle down to the cold fjord.

Late November, midday and the sun is at 7° altitude in the south. Fáskrúðsfjörður in eastern Iceland

A colour photo of a mountainous landscape covered in snow and ice. The sky is mostly clear but with some light cloud above the mountain range. The peaks are jagged but with horizontal surfaces in steps, betraying their volcanic origin. The lower slopes are white with snow but the upper reaches are showing dark rock where the wind has scoured the ice away from the edges. The foreground is a small river with a gravel bank near its centre which is covered in snow. The entire scene is in a palette of cyan and pale yellow.

    Hi, I'm a photographer who just moved in from Pixelfed!

    I've dabbled in most genres and had a short semi-professional stint, but in recent years I've settled on capturing the beauty of nature. I have developed a penchant for bad weather and less than ideal light - there's an abundance of both here.

    I'd describe my approach as "digital old school", meaning I try to get my images right in-camera.

    Hope to brighten (or sometimes darken) your days with my images.

    Wide angle landscape image. In the foreground we see a formation of three large rocks embedded in the ground, partly covered with moss. To the right, a leafless tree rises with its branches extending towards the center of the frame. Both rocks and tree are dark, almost silhouettes against the sky. The sky is a pale blue, with dark clouds moving in from the left, covering the sun in the center. Further in the background we see a forested range of hills.

      Poppy seed pods

      A close-up of several poppy seed pods standing upright against a vibrant, blurred green background.

The pods feature a textured, bulbous, or teardrop-like shape with a matte, bluish-green hue. Each pod is topped with a characteristic, crown-like stigmatic disc. 

The stems rise vertically, positioning the pods at varying heights, which gives the composition a natural, architectural feel. On the left side, two pods overlap vertically, while the others stand independently.

                  'Sonnenschutz'

                  Das Foto ist aus der Ich-Perspektive eines Mannes aufgenommen, der entspannt in einem aufblasbaren, dunkelgrauen Kajak der Marke Itiwit liegt. Seine nackten Füße und Beine ragen in das Bild hinein, während am unteren Bildrand ein schwarzes Paddel quer über das Boot verläuft. Die Szene spielt sich in einer engen Meerespassage ab, die von gewaltigen, zerklüfteten Felswänden aus hellem, ockerfarbenem Gestein eingerahmt wird. Die Felsen ragen steil empor und bilden über dem Kajak fast ein natürliches Tor. Das Wasser im Vordergrund liegt ruhig und tiefblau im Schatten der Felsen, während es weiter hinten in der Sonne in einem leuchtenden Smaragdgrün erstrahlt. Am oberen Rand der Klippen ist spärliches grünes Gebüsch und ein wolkenloser, heller Himmel zu erkennen, was die sommerliche und friedliche Atmosphäre dieses Ausflugs unterstreicht.

                          This camera might have been built for cinema, but it's also got credentials for stills photography as well. In this field review I dive into the details that make the ZR such a great camera, and I even have my own custom setup to help anyone who is more focused on photography than cinema.

Gentle, small waves roll continuously toward the shore. The sun casts a brilliant, glittering path of golden reflection.

A straight, distinct horizon line divides the image almost perfectly in half. A few faint, wispy clouds trail horizontally on the left side. On the right side, just past the breaking waves, a silhouette of a person is lying down on a floating airbed.

                                                    No one at your table goes hungry because the week was hard. That, too, is resistance.

                                                    Soften onion and garlic in oil. Add crushed tomatoes, a drained can of chickpeas, cumin, smoked paprika, salt. Simmer ten minutes. Make four wells, crack an egg into each, cover till the whites just set. Warm bread to swipe the pan.

                                                    Seven dollars. Feeds four.

                                                    Who taught you that feeding people was a kind of love?

His deeply lined face, tired eyes, and thoughtful posture suggest a quiet moment of reflection. He wears a checked shirt, dark trousers, and well-worn shoes.
Beside him are a backpack and a white plastic bag resting against a weathered wall with peeling plaster. Behind him, the dark entrance to the building contrasts with the bright, cracked facade. On the pavement in front of the steps lies an open guitar case for donations. Inside it sits a small teddy bear, adding an unexpected touch of warmth to the scene. What draws the eye most is not the guitar, but the man's gesture, his lowered gaze, and his body language. Together, they tell a story of silence, waiting, and the quiet struggle of earning a living one day at a time.
