West Falkland - Falkland Islands
D3x, 24-70mm @ 36mm, ISO 400, f/8, 1/640s
When I returned from the Falkland Islands in 2009 I was eager to process all of the great wildlife shots from there.  After weeks of evaluating and processing many of the thousands of photos of Penguins, Albatross, songbirds, seals, etc I was thrilled with many of the shots.  Somewhere in the shuffle, I totally forgot about all the aerial shots I took while flying between islands.  Yesterday, while looking for something else, I stumbled upon a small sub-folder called Aerial under my Falkland Islands folders.  I was thrilled to find some cool shots.  In reality, back then we didn't have the processing tools to do a really good job of dehazing the images which is why I may have skipped over them to begin with.  With today's tools, combining capture One with Topaz Studio's Dehaze tool, it is easy to process images like this.

thanks for sharing this EJ. For many, this will mean differing things, bringing differing emotions. For others, there are memories of two countries fighting over this, with many lives spent.

A fine image that evokes emotion.
Make your life spectacular!

Yes, I agree.  I actually had somebody unfriendly me on Facebook because I called it Falkland Islands, not Islas Malvinas :(

Dave makes some good points, and how evocative images can be.  The image itself, especially the uncompressed view, is beautifully done E.J.

I really like the leading line of the river up to the very top of the frame where it meets the ocean. Beautiful image!
