The grill of this 1949 Buick Road Master is simple iconic.
Taken near Monument Valley, Utah.
Having decided to have another play around with the macro lens this time for a 2nd attempt, I was looking for something with vibrant colours and a bit of character. I didn't however expect it to be an elastic band ball!
An early morning capture looking down Mariacka street. Fortunately this was before the hoards of tourists turned up.

basdus: Nice shot #lookingup (by the way, why is the letter 'i' next to 'o' on my keyboard? Makes it tricky when typing 'nice shot'. Narrow escape! ;-)

So there we were on our 2nd day in Iceland in February, about to embark on a trip to Þingvellir national park in hope of seeing the aurora borealis. The leader of the group indicated our chances seemed minimal as they hadn't been seen for the best part of 10 days. Despite the opinion there was still part of me that held out hope. We embarked from Reykjavik at about 19:45 on what felt like a journey into the darkness. The further behind Reykjavik was, so was the light pollution and the darkness embraced us.
Upon arriving in the national park, a little wooden shack with a cafe was all that was in sight, behind it a large vast meadow covered in snow. I wondered out into the snow and waited for what felt like a lifetime. Nearly 3 hours into sub-zero temperatures my 10 second captures started picking up a glow. I wandered a little further as crowds of tourists started to appear trying to photograph them with their flashes on -_-. Before I knew it I was stood knee deep in snow, in sub-zero temperatures risking hypothermia for the shot I was praying would happen.
Before I knew it the sky seemed to explode in green and pink tones and dance around in front of me and over my head. 10 minutes I will never repeat nor ever forget.
Taiga one of the adult Amur tigers casually relaxing less than 3 feet away from me. Just after I took the shot she turned and faced me dead on and stepped right towards me.....I may have fallen backwards at that point!
My first attempt at playing around with a crystal ball for shooting. Interesting to say the least with plenty of other attempts before this one came out!
An early morning capture under the walkway of the Cloth Hall in the main town square. Any other time of day and this would be swarming with people...
After realising she wasn't camouflaged Lena decided to relax up in her tree. There she decided to nap for what felt like hours...
-Added to theCream of the Crop pool as most favorited.

A quick capture of Taiga the recent mother to 3 Amur Tiger cubs. Playing with a new 2nd hand lens and was pleasantly surprised by its performance.
A quick spin whilst walking through Soho revealed an elongated shadow of a bicycle parked on the footpath.
Taken in 2000 - with my old Canon SLR. Scanned in 2007
