Water

Sometimes you have to push to the extremes to get the shot. Experimenting with long exposures, I ended up shooting this one in waist high water. Specs: 0.8s, f/15, ISO 64, 14mm

The bird

I took this beauty at Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland. The storm clouds, eight foot high waves, and crazy wind were promising. Despite the conditions, I decided to go with a long exposure. There is a bird on top of a squarish rock. It reflects the scale. The bird was kind enough to clinch to the rock through the whole 40 seconds exposure.

Happy rainbow at Skogafoss

Overcast is a common weather in Iceland. There are still plenty of opportunities for landscape photography though. Icelandic churches could be a thing on its own. Every single one of them has a unique Icelandic signature design. They are very well placed. It is a pure joy to photograph them.

Almost perfect

"Almost perfect" is one of my favorite Icelandic photos. It was taken at literally the first beam of light, at the moment, when the sun rays were most parallel to the ground. It is always a challenge to photograph minimalistic landscape. One of the questions, that I often face is how do you emphasize the depth perception without the details? In this case black volcanic sand, textured by first beams of sun, creates a nice depth effect without clattering the composition with unnecessary details.
