I’ve been going through some of my old photos, especially the ones I took in Svalbard ~5 years ago (probably longing for the cold now that it’s >25°C here). I’m really pleased with how many of them turned out. Taken with a Canon EOS 800D, and mostly either a Sigma 30mm or a Canon 70-300mm.

I’ve purposefully posprocessed some of the landscapes so that they have lots of sharp contrasts and a sort of generally alien feel. I’m not quite sure if it’s just too much, but personally I like the look.

Any sort of feedback is welcome, including criticism (just don’t be an asshole, please.)

    Oh these are lovely. You have a nice eye. They make me want to stop and study each shot to understand the scale. Very enjoyable to look through, thank you.

    Very cool!

    I thought it was a 3D render at first when I saw the first photo! Was going to comment on the nice work :D

    I love the way these turned out, they remind me of natgeo magazine pictures. It makes me think about the fact that technically, to another species, we ARE the aliens on an alien planet 😅

    Gorgeous pics, very well done.

      Aw, thank you, that’s high praise if I ever heard it.

      I added one with a couple of walruses having an argument that definitely looks vaguely natgeo-ish.

    I loved Svalbard, such a strange and surreal place. How long were you there?

    I’ve been hoping we’ll get a travel community added to Beehaw sooner or later. Great photos!
