Monday (09-June-2014) — Iceland

Gone to See Europe 2014. Day 9: Semester at Sea, Spring 2014 Enrichment Voyage. Isafjordur, Iceland.

Arctic Tern Ready to Attack. We were on a bird watching Field Trip in Isafjordur (Ísafjörður) and apparently got too close to the Arctic Tern’s nest.  They would dive bomb and try to peck your head. Image taken with a Nikon Df camera and 300 mm f/2.8 VR lens (ISO 100, 300 mm, f/4, 1/2500 sec). Raw image processes with Capture One Pro, Focus Magic, and Photoshop CC.

Saturday (31-May-2014) – Sweden

Gone to See Europe 2014. Day 0: Stockholm, Sweden.

I arrived in Stockholm a day before embarking on the Semester at Sea Spring Enrichment Voyage. I joined fellow photographer Albert for a walkabout in the city. We came upon a group of musicians performing in a square. The accordion player thought he found his doppelganger… Really, It is not me. Image taken with a Leica X2 camera (ISO 400, 24 mm, f/11, 1/640 sec). Raw image processed with Capture One Pro, Focus Magic, and Photoshop CC.
