Hello all,
I found my way here a couple of days ago after clicking a link on Bjorn's old naturfotograf site, and have spent (too many) hours browsing since. I stumbled on a post extolling the qualities of the Nikkor 55 f/3.5, and knew I'd found a refuge from the flood of latest-greatest-fastest-shiniest gear review sites elsewhere on the web (my 55 f/3.5 cost $89 and produces wonderful photos!). I thought I'd introduce myself with a photo taken last December in Antarctica, where we had a number of spectacular displays of atmospheric arcs and halos. They form by refraction when snow crystals fall with a consistent orientation - a slightly more complicated variant on rainbows. Mostly I take photos of the natural world, which is full of surprise and fascination.
Cheers, John
