Clash of the Titans by Marsel van Oosten

This was shot on our Beyond The Great Rivers photo safari in Zambia. The great thing about this trip is that Zambia is still relatively unknown as a prime safari destination, and as a result it’s so much more quiet than Kenya, Tanzania or South Africa. Also, this is both a land-based and a water-based safari, so you’ll get the regular perspective, but you’ll also get a completely different one once we’re on the water. We use small, low profile boats to look for animals in and around the water, and the low angle and less intrusive approach (as opposed to noisy diesel engines) creates a whole new world of possibilities. The Zambezi not only has the highest density of hippos in the world, it’s also very popular among the local elephant populations. They’re easy to spot, for the obvious reason, so when we saw these guys grazing together we decided to check ‘em out. We used the current to slowly drift closer, and when we got at a good distance, we banked the boat in the shallows. And just as we raised the cameras to our eyes, the ellies started fighting. The entire show lasted a couple of minutes, during which we got a few very nice charges. Great stuff! – – – If you would like to experience a different kind of safari, both land-based and water-based, away from the maddening crowds, where you can go off-road, and in a truly unique habitat – consider joining our Beyond The Great Rivers tour. Both 2016 tours are already fully booked, but we will soon publish the 2017 dates. Check squiver.com regularly for updates, or subscribe to our blog for the latest news.

Light of Hope by Carlos F Turienzo

Hi everyone! I have just come back from Iceland with my friends Julio Castro, Borja Fraga and Charly, a big thanks to them for these fantastic days!! It was an awesome trip with a bunch of mixed feelings as the first half of the adventure was hard, many cloudy nights and bad forecast, so we were quite dispirited, this photo is from that days. Fortunately the changing weather conditions of the island gave us the opportunity to enjoy some crazy aurora shows that I will show you later. Last but not least I would like to dedicate this photo to Jeff and Carolyn Mitchum. carlosfturienzo.com facebook.com/carlosfturienzo

In the Alps by Armin Barth

This breathtaking view was our reward after hiking up about 1200 meters to Rappensee. This lake is at the border between Germany and Austria. And is just pure Paradise, isn´t it? Website | Facebook | Instagram

Golden State of Mind by Christian Lim

3 locations in one sunset running for 100-200 meters to the car and driving to the next spot huffing and puffing like lunatics… should have gotten 4 if we had the sequence right and shot a few less frames per location, plus we waited for a sunstar in one area which ate up alot of time…. been a long while since we did cardio and landscape photography side by side… check out my partner in crime here: www.500px.com/patrickmarsonong

Free as the Wind by Pedro Quintela

“It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade” – Charles Dickens My today´s image is one of those I´ll keep in my heart for a very long time. Again something like this was in my mind since a while so achieving it made me realize (once more) that we must keep our dreams alive and nourish it. Also it looked like Dickens was there… amazing how his words make so much sense to me. 

I have also a new article featured on iSO500px that is like an epitome about this image and is called “Unveiling 5 of my Photographic Secrets”. Hope you like it and give me your feedback. 


I invite you do make part of our amazing Facebook group called Photo Reflections, where everyone matters despite the level of your skills – www.facebook.com/groups/1028101767252024/ Thank you for all your attention and support. Happy shooting!

In the dead of the night by Nicholas Roemmelt

Milky Way season has already started on the northern hemisphere again, but I still had not the time or luck with the weather to capture a new MW shot so far … so I want to show you a previously unreleased picture from the Tre Cime de Lavaredo in the Dolomites from last year. FACEBOOK

In God’s Land by jae youn Ryu

My series of ‘waves and rocks’.
The highest peaks I saw a different world here. Like the land of the gods.
last year I was unforgettable impression here. It is strange bizarre rocks were newly expressed through my photos.
I went steadily to find a new light and color. This work has two pieces of a panoramic picture.
