After a picnic in the Gulf Islands, south of Salt Spring, we caught this sunset made up of jet trails at the end of a sunny cloudless day.

The NK'Mip Winery where we stayed is renowned for its whites and Pinot Noire.

This is the Indian Brave sculpture out of metal that is a signature piece upon entry to their reserve.

Norway 2 The day before was so foggy that you couldn't see 50 ft. This morning we took the road that went above the Aurlandsfjord and got a pretty cool view of fog low on the water.

From our recent Colorado trip to see Aspen colors. Used my new Lumix FZ1000 Panorama mode and then some cropping. Still have a lot to learn.Wish I had this camera 30 years ago when I was "really" into photography.

DrRoy, Beautiful photos.
kcowan, Love that Indian sculpture.
Frayne, That's a beautiful moon shot.
Ronstar, The tower of London looks like an illustration. Love the time exposure on Big Ben.
Khan, WHERE have you been? Been thinking of you since the hurricane hit Florida. Hope all is well.

And a tripod and remote switch/timer, I assume. In any event, kudus for a great shot.

Thanks, splitwdw.

I have been finding that the photos from my wife's Canon T5i are more grainy than I like, so we are replacing it with a Nikon D5300.

Another shot from Norway.

Yes, tripod and cable shutter release, also locked up the mirror to reduce vibration. Sorry if I left that out.

Thanks

Fantastic, please tell us the details how you did these.
Did you use a tripod for all the shots ?
