Leaving Kathmandu

In Creativity and Inspiration, Travel by David72 Comments

Boudha, Kathmandu Canon 1Ds MkIII, 85mm, 1/160 @ f/1.2, ISO 800 After the last post, and what one reader called my exhausting angst, I’ve been shooting very little and just enjoying this place. Guess I just needed a break. I’m really grateful for the comments left, and for the thoughts and ideas expressed in them, but I trust you know …

Postcard from Kho Samed

In Just For Fun, Travel by David21 Comments

Last night up to my neck in the warm waters off Kho Samed. Hello from the small island of Kho Samed. I came here last year for a couple days at the end of a 2 week shoot in northern Thailand, and knew I had to come back. So when I had a week to hangout between the Ladakh and …

A (long overdue) Postcard From Ladakh

In News & Stuff, Travel by David35 Comments

Hi folks. Wow, two weeks and not a peep from me. Sorry about that. Ladakh is pretty remote and we were on the road enough that getting to an internet cafe to test my chances at a connection just never happened. But man I love Ladakh. We barely made it out of Leh this morning with an incoming weather front …

September 2010 Wallpapers – Updated

In Travel, Wallpapers by David15 Comments

September wallpapers are here, in both 2560×1600 and 1280×853. *The first versions I posted gave you one extra day, which is good for some but confusing the rest of the world. They’re fixed now. I shot this in Iceland in the driving rain, with a 24mm/3.5 tilt/shift lens. So struck by the vastness of space in Iceland, and the almost …

Hello from Maui

In Books, Influences, News & Stuff, Resources, Travel by David22 Comments

iPhone shot of dolphins swimming under the bow of the zodiac. Maui. A quick note to say hello. Kind of feeling guilty for being here and not dropping a line. We’ve been having an amazing time here -yesterday I spent the day in a zodiac off the coast of Lanai, a small island itself just off the coast of Maui. …

Shooting Wet

In GEAR, Travel, Tutorials &Technique by David24 Comments

Me. Shooting in the driving rain in Iceland. Cold. Wet. Deliriously happy. I’ve never shot in the rain, drizzle, dew, fog, and general “water coming out of the sky in every possible form” as much as I did in Iceland the last couple weeks. There were days my boots were so wet I thought they’d never recover – they were …

Gitzo Fleece – This One Goes Up To 11.

In GEAR, Travel by David34 Comments

Within a stone’s throw of the Arctic Circle in Iceland. Photo: Dave Delnea It’s been a while since an unapologetic gear post but I need to get this out there. I love the Gitzo fleece jacket. It’s not right for a guy to love a jacket this much, much less a jacket that raises my nerd factor to 11. Hell, …

Coming Home

In Travel by David34 Comments

Dave Delnea on the rocks in Iceland. (Somewhere Northeast-ish to be more specific.) Last night in Reykjavik. This is an amazing little city. I think from now on when people ask my favourite city, it’s going to be hard not to tell them it’s Reykjavic. We’re heading out to have one last meal and I found a place that serves …

Postcards from Iceland

In Travel by David19 Comments

Jokulsarlon, Iceland. A quickie from Iceland. Unbelievable here. Have I said that already? Un-Believe-Able. Last night we camped on the tundra within sight of icebergs. How cool is that? (It’s pretty darn cool.) The shot above is from one of the series of images I’m putting together. Can’t wait to share this stuff. Having way too much fun but I’ve …
