Adventures of 2015

Here’s a little collection of images taken with my Fujifilm XT-1 on my adventures this year. Whether I’m relaxing on a beach in Maui, hiking up a Mountain in Maine or sitting on the ice in Nunavut when it’s -45°C, I LOVE all of it! Happy New Year and I hope everyone has a great 2016.

    Wow, amazing images! Your X-T1 has seen a lot more of the world than my X-T1. Great compositions on all.

  4. What an excellent series of images — looks like you made the most of 2015. All the best for 2016 from just across the river in Aylmer…
