Cheers Andy Dean - Yes, they do look great when you hold them to the light

This was my fourth time in Iceland and my first time seeing the lights. It was worth the wait though

Amazing. I've been a few times and not seen them so I was glad I finally did. Thanks

Thanks. It's probably my favourite as well. Cheers We used the icelandic aurora prediction site but found that it sometimes changes it's mind at the last minute

I know there are some forum members going to Iceland soon so I thought i'd post some shots to whet people's appetite for what they might see.

I'm in iceland at the moment and I haven't had any problems with a canon 5dII despite it being -24 in myvatn yesterday. For aurora shots, I've been using 800 up to 1600 ISO and adjusting exposure time accordingly between 5 and 30 seconds. Edit - just seen that it's an old thread

The best one I've got recently is "Here, Far away" by Pentti Sammallahti Lovely B&W prints

A Billingham hadley pro, a small crumpler, a large lowepro rucksack, and I mostly use a small old canvas bag that I got free when i bought a camera last year.

A couple from my first roll of Lomo purple film. It's basically trying to fake the look of colour infrared film by shifting the greens towards purple / pink. Both taken on a Hasselblad 501cm [/url] Deer by g lloyd, on Flickr[/IMG] [/url] Limestone Pavement by g lloyd, on Flickr[/IMG]

Portra 160 gets my vote

I haven't done the Llanberis path but I believe it's the easiest and straightest path but not the best for scenery. I think the train goes up that way. I've done the pyg and miners paths and they go past the lakes on the way up so the scenery is superb and it changes as you go up. The difficulty...

Loving that last glastonbury shot. Stage lighting can be tricky but you look like you've got it spot on.

Can't agree more. I'll definitely be getting more portra 160.

Just got a roll of portra 160 back from Peak Imaging, who I hadn't used before. All taken with the Hasselblad 501cm and 80mm lens. There's 6 or 7 on the roll that I really like which is by far my highest keeper rate so far. Lee by g lloyd, on Flickr Weird Fish by g lloyd, on Flickr...
