Thanks, Bob --- yes, I'm back and forth between Calgary and Banff all the time. So this area is my backyard, and I get lots of opportunities to go play. But photography is only one of the activities that I like to do outdoors. In the winter I'm cross-country skiing a lot, and in the summer I'm a mountain bike fanatic. If you ever come visit, let me know!

This thread is becoming one of my favorites - great contributions everyone! My current favorite is the second Iceland shot, there's something special about the mood in this photo and it also makes me curios about who lives in the house. I also wanted to contribute with some recent shots and got carried away in writing. Sorry for the long post, but I felt I should add some storytelling to the shots.
We are currently having unusually high water level in the Baltic Sea, probably due to a relatively mild but windy winter so far. Last weekend I went to one of my favorite local places for sea landscape photography, both to check this out and also for a few hours of general shooting. The temperature was a few degrees above 0°C when I got there but decreased as the sun was setting to a few degrees below. This is rather “warm” for this time of year but the wind was quite hard. I don’t know the figures but the meteorologists would probably have called it moderate to fresh gale - at least it was enough to keep the usual strollers away from the seaside.
First there’s this “documentary” shot showing the water level. The tree with icicles on its lower branches doesn’t usually stand in the sea - normally you can walk dry all the way to the sunny rocks in the background.
As the sun was setting the exposure time went up and I like the motion feeling of the water in the shot below. You can also see the splashing waves turning into ice as they hit the rocks.
And then the last shot for the day: The sun had set and I had got closer to the water. What is not seen in the frame is me on my knees camera left with unzipped jacket held out to protect the camera from the wind. Around halfway into the 30 sec exposure a wave hit my legs and I quickly decided this was the last shot for the day. I really like the photo and its deceptively peaceful look, but I will probably feel a bit cold every time I see it.
Thanks for viewing!
How do i post the required size? Ive reduced to 1024, under 195 kb and they still come out way to small. Help!
Please walk me through how to post images of the required size.

Hi, I do like this:
1) Make sure the photo has the allowed size (like you already did)
2) Insert image. This will result in a thumbnail sized photo.
3) Double click the thumbnail and select "Full Size" - there it is.
I followed these steps to share this photo from my parents' summer house. I suppose you could say it's a typical Swedish countryside landscape photo. I spent many summers there as a kid and really like the place. A few years ago my own kids wanted to visit their grandmother all the time, but now that they are teenagers its not quite as popular anymore. (I recognize the pattern from when I was a teenager - then I became less and less enthusiastic about spending the summers in the middle of nowhere.)
Its pin sharp, shot with a Canon 1DS3 and 14mm prime. The 16-35 is the same at A3 cant tell any differance except the primes a bit wider.
