Jökulsárlón Morning

[Kyle Jones]

Here are a couple of wide angle shots from the Jökulsárlón lagoon in Iceland in between being socked in by fog. The clouds cleared nicely in the early morning so I worked to emphasize them with my 14mm in the first. I zoomed a little more into the second to pick up more of the mountains. Any thoughts are welcome.

Those clouds are delightful in both images but I find the first image a bit disorienting with the fog obscuring most of the mountains. The ice seems more prominent than the mountains. The second one gives me a better view of the context for this scene. Interesting place.

The 2nd is a bit busy for me. I keep bouncing back & forth between the icebergs & mountains. For me, with the 1st, cropping a bit of the sky balances it better.

I have to agree with Alan, I want to see those mountains. Great location.

Wow, incredible sky, a photographers delight! And, as others have said, those mountains too! Very Nice!!

 

[Jameel Hyder]

Lovely location and the clouds add a lot to the scene. I have to go with the second one. The mountains are more prominent and the blue ice blocks provide a nice foreground.

Hey Kyle,

These are some sweet shots! I will go with #1 as my favorite.

With #2, I do like it, but I wonder if toning down that hot cloud would benefit the shot? It's so bright it keep pulling my eyes away from those wonderfully lit mountains.

The clouds and sky steal the show with both of these beautiful images.
