Those were the golden days of film. Digital was a pipe dream yet to come (although rumours had commenced), cameras were real cameras not computers, and men were men. Heck, even I was a man back then :)

For the record, my old personality here uses an Arca-Swiss F-Line camera with 120 roll film holder, long bellows, and the excellent Nikkor-T ED 270mm f/6.3. A speed monster in its time. I still have the camera gear, but it hasn't been used for decades.

The Lofoten Archipelago has many sights to offer, and one of the most famous is the shortest location name imaginable. No wonders visiting photographers swarm around the road sign :)

(the name 'Å' literally means 'River' with the added implication the river is small, winding and slow-running)

Dance graduation day. You can see one of them walking in the right background with flowers  :)

Great shot, Paco, the composition and the light.

Thank you John, I'm very fond of this image and I was very impressed by the fast and total acceptance of the holding technique. Even the body position looks amazing. A true petite photographe   :)

Using a Fisheye as the preferred lens for street photography requires the photographer -literally- to immerse himself in the action :)

NG members might recognise one of the Core Crew here, and no it is not me. Apologies if this has been posted previously.

PS: I know Paco just recently got the fabulous 16/3.5 Nikkor, so let the photo be a pointer as to its 'correct' usage :)

An anonymous nature photographer of the female kind is documenting the (to Norwegians, a trite and hackneyed cliché)  waterfalls of Låtefossen. She likely would be a foreigner.

Hopefully this photographer was richly rewarded picture-wise by his gymnastic prowess?

 Beautiful white hair, foreigner....maybe she is also attracted to the non-visible spectrum of photography?

You have seen too many detective films on TV :) or, are onto something.

This must be a genuine Nature Photographer, working from his car as a hide :)
