Echoes of Eternity

As the year draws to an end, it is time to look back.

 

In 2016, I have been able to visit and photograph some unforgettable places. One of the best experiences certainly was my overnight trip to White Pocket with David Swindler from actionphototours.com. David not only brought me to one of the most incredible landscapes I have ever seen, but he also made me a much better photographer in just two days...

 

Furthermore, I was lucky enough to be able to expand my possibilities with some new equipment. My astro-modified Canon EOS 6D, together with two new lenses, a Tamron 15-30mm f/2.8 and a Samyang 24mm f/1.4 have quickly become my workhorses. They have enabled me to take images I would not have thought to be within reach of my skills just one year ago.

 

So the choice for my final post for this year was an obvious one: It had to be White Pocket at night taken with the equipment I bought this year.
