Back from Iceland, with some photos

[david.elliott]

I agree. It's just beautiful.

I think it is probably in my top 5 from the trip.

Beautiful images! Iceland's tourism board should license them from you!

Very kind of you to say so. That would be pretty neat. I've never licensed a photo or sold a print before. Never really investigated that option though either, so I suppose my lack of sales is not surprising. 😛

other worldly...some of those shots...very nice!

Thanks. Iceland is so different from anywhere I've ever been before -- and it is just a stunning place.

 

[david.elliott]

Stunning photos. Thanks for posting, and please post more!

Thank you. I think I have one or two more worth sharing. After that, I'm out of material until I develop my film. 🙂

Some lovely shots, there, thanks for posting!

Thanks. It is my pleasure.

Cool... in more ways than one.

I rather prefer cool weather to warm. It was not too cold when we went -- about 40 degrees. The issue was the wind. It was constant and powerful. There was very rarely a break in the wind.

I'd brought a bunch of ND filters and a tripod, but could not do any long exposures as a result of the blustery conditions. Well, I took one but wasn't thrilled with the result.

David,
Wonderful images. Well done!

Thanks so much.

 

[david.elliott]

Wonderful series. I'd like to see more too....

Will do my best to post another photo or two.

 

[david.elliott]

Wonderful!

Thanks!

A buddy of mine sent me a photo of him in Iceland. He was standing outside his guard shack, and he was surrounded by rocks as far as you could see. These are much nicer than the photo that he sent to me many years ago.

You should send him back for more photos. 🙂

Some really amazing photos. I want to go there!
Please let us see some of the film shots when they are ready.

Thanks and will do!

You should go. TravelZoo has some deals for iceland now and then. They are usually listed in the top 20 section.

We didnt use a travelzoo deal, but got a bargain on airfare through an Iceland Air special.

Really nice pics in there, 'desolation' is probably my favourite I think.

I think my favorite is Energizing the Landscape.

Desolation was taken on the one really rainy day we had, during our drive back from Skaftafell toward Vik.

And now I am out of keepers until I develop my film.

Beautiful - "Through the ice" is especially stunning

+1.......very nice photo...

That first one is especially mind-bending. I read it in reverse - the darker areas looking like sea water and the white areas looking like an ice shelf.

Thanks Michael

Thank you. Never thought of it that way -- probably because I was there so the black being the sand and the white / blue being the water seems obvious to me. Now it is bending my mind as well. 🙂

Here are a few pictures from my 1996 trek on the Laugavegurinn in Iceland.
