Lovely photos of a lovely bridge. I had heard that the buyer thought he was buying the Tower Bridge and was somewhat disappointed that it was not.
Really nice. Beautiful shots. Loved the seals!
Truly gorgeous, all of them! I really liked the muted staggered distance mountain shots.
Wonderful photos! I've been to Bryce Canyon NP several times, but never in the winter. It really looks different with snow! Hope you dressed warmly.
Extreme wide-angle lenses have serious stretching at the edges of the image -- this is due to the geometry of the shot, which attempts to portray the image on a flat surface. Producing a panorama stitched from narrower photos can almost eliminate that effect, producing a more satisfying image that covers the same (or more) scene. I do my landscape panoramas by turning the camera to portrait mode and use my 18-200VR2 lens at 18mm, using about 1/3 overlap. This almost always obtains enough vertical coverage and I can cover as much horizontal scene as I need to. I shoot hand-held, but many people prefer to use a tripod. In the past I used an after-market tool called Autostitch to make do my stitching, but recently I'm mostly been using Lightroom--it has a feature called Edge Fill which is pretty neat.
I purchased one in May 2019 refurbished from NikonUSA. It went to Kenya, East Africa with me later that year, mounted on a rented D7100 (my own D7100 wore the Nikon 18-200VR2 lens). I wore my camera on the strap and put the rented one (with the heavy lens) on the seat next to me in the 4x4 vehicle. The 200-500VR2 lens worked very well. I'm planning to do the same thing on my upcoming Alaska tour.

You do this so well, David!
Thank you, Mike. I have done better, though---those pictures are not really very good.
I thought Nutria was a fur species. Are they not hunted for that?
Nicely done! #s 2 and 3 appear to be the same building, left and front views, in different seasons.
