Valery, that is one amazing shot. Seems like a still from some futuristic sci-fi movie.

Thank you all !

Lovely ice jam, Valery! Is it me or would a touch more contrast and clarity improve it?

Sure it possible, but it 'll be a different picture.

Obviously the effects of global warming!

I really like the treatment - can you share what you did to get is so moody?

Sure! I used free Google+ online editor with HDR filter, because Nexus 4 all the time does autobackup on Google+ and the capture I did with HDR mode on cellphone too. It's easy and simple.

I am still using my Canon G15 along with a Canon S95 and Olympus E-M5. I much prefer shooting raw with the G15, but sometimes I shoot jpeg. The downside of raw with the G15 is that the files are so large. Larger than my old Sony A700 12mp raw files and larger than my Olympus E-M5 16mp raw files. These are all recent photos here in Japan using jpeg mode.

Love the b&ws Henry. What is the significance
of the coins in the third one?

[Birma]

Very nice, Henry. The bokeh is especially nice in the first one, one could even say serene

[Greg Beetham]

The G15 does bash out a good B&W candid Henry and colour detail is great too, is the camera quiet in operation and reasonably snappy, i.e. not too many laggy bits?

Ps yeah me too, what’s the deal with the coins?

The one yen coins (worth about one US cent, slightly smaller size) are stuck in the straw of a giant woven, traditional Japanese sandal at the Ishite-ji Buddhist temple in Matsuyama on Shikoku. I looked through the photos on my website and found this photo from a few years ago that shows a bit more of it.



Pilgrims (o-henro) doing the 88 temple Shikoku pilgrimage put the coins there. I suppose it is for luck. Here is some info:
