Dave playing with his fisheye lens in Iceland

Dave has a cool full-frame fish-eye lens that he played with while we were out in the field today.

A couple of pics of us collecting data on a cold, windy day:

and cooking dinner!

Ouch that looks painful!
Have you ever tried stretching your eyes for a fish eye view, its a guaranteed recipe for a headache!!!

Seriously though these are excellent photos, thanks for posting.

Hey Barb! Great pics. Looks like you have the best kind of job! What are you researching?

Not only does Dave own a fish eye lens, he knows how to use it to get the maximum effect out of it! Awesome photos really show the vast emptiness of the landscape.

Very Cool!

I'm studying rocks that erupted under the ice when Iceland was completely covered with an ice sheet. I'm looking in particular at the origin of fault-like structures that developed when the piles of subglacial volcanic debris collapsed as the eruption proceeded. No one's ever studied these structures before, so it's interesting and exciting (at least to a geologist!) and full of puzzles.

Those are down right wonderful

Careful, Barb, or you'll fall off the world!

I love the first picture, looks like giants on such a small world. Iceland looks like a beautiful place to visit. The more photos that you post, the more certain that I need to put Iceland on my "bucket list". BTW dinner looks good.

Yes, he knows how to use it. Had a long conversation with Dave in Victoria at the first kilt kamp. It would be fun to have all three of us in the same place and the same time. Not much kilt making would get done but a good deal of high level photographic conversation would happen.
PS Barb's a brave woman to allow him to use a fish eye!
