Vik, Reynisfjara and Dryhólæy

From the black sandy shores of southern Iceland, some beach scenes with amazing sea stacks, columnar basalt and a great old lighthouse.  







PS.  This shot above is from up north, but snuck it in here anyway.

Auroras Over Iceland

Hope this post isn't too green for you, I got incredibly lucky had many night of amazing light shows.  Never realized how fast they move, and it was the thrill of a lifetime to finally get to see this wonder snake its way across the sky.  I shot a bunch of time-lapse stuff too, and will have some great videos to accompany this soon.

Dynjandi and Dettifoss

Two of the most epic falls in Iceland:  Dettifoss is Europe's biggest waterfall, while Dynjandi has more tiers and trickles than any fall I've ever seen, covering nearly an entire mountainside.  It may look peaceful where I'm standing, I was drenched head to toe by the time I made it up there.  And even shooting on a 200mm more than 100 ft from the falls, I had to run back and dry off my lens after every take, but easily worth it in my opinion.

Breiðamerkursandur (Iceland's Iciest Beach)

Breiðamerkursandur is the sandy shores on which icebergs from Jökulsárlón wash up on, and it is frigid!  Got in a few times to get the right angle on some ice, and after 5 minutes in it took 5 hour just for my feet to feel right again!  Nevertheless, a magical place where the light and landscape changes all the time.
