After almost 8 months from my last visit, I am almost ready to go back to Iceland for about two weeks of photography there! Iceland is always beautiful, but in winter is truly amazing and I am very excited to be there again. Here's a shot from my last visit, taken at the amazing Vestrahorn...

I've shared an earlier version of this in a Waterfall Wednesday thread a while back, but I spent some time working on it last night and wanted to share. The falls themselves are impressive, with a great horseshoe shape and lots of vantage points to shoot from. As I framed this, I was trying to...

I love ice, and Jokulsarlon is a goldmine of inspiration, always different, always interesting. Sometimes you have very few, sparse ice diamonds, sometimes you have an abundance of shapes and masses to work with :) 3 seconds of exposure with my Hasselblad X1D, Hasselblad XCD 30mm and...

I know it's a classic, but as all classics it's a classic for good reasons. Witnessing an amazing sunrise standing behind the waterfall of Seljalandsfoss, in Iceland, is exciting and almost overwhelming! No matter how classic it is, it is a sight to behold and an unforgettable experience. 8...

Here is a new edit from my sunrise at Diamond Beach in Iceland. In previous versions, I used the multiple frames I took to make sure that all of the ice was sharp and still. For this contest I went the other way. I converted the frames to a smart object and used the mean blending mode to show...
