The Turn of the Tide

Not until home I realised, how fast the tide was actually coming in. This is my first trial. On my last shot at that spot, most of those little streams are topped up with water already...

This is what the Fuji Superia film saw on that one night we enjoyed the Northern Lights. Byron

After Breakfast At The Hotel Framnes

The wind was howling all night, my window was iced shut and still the curtains in my room were moving.

Yet another Reynis Beach View. The weather was changing so fast here it seemed to be more than one location.

The Noon Day Sun in Iceland

This is where we stopped on the road. Such great light at this spot.

Tidal Snow at Reynis

Having trouble finding time to work, but here's my take on the tidal snow swirls at Reynis.

Reynisdrangar

Haven't been too happy with what I shot of the sea stacks in Vik. Found this one on one of the last rolls I had from the trip. Totally forgot I took this shot on film...glad I did.

Golden surprise

I renamed this picture, since the colors kept changing quite unpredictable while feeding it to the blog...cost me some sweat to adjust the jpg format to the original. This is close, though....

Another take on Seljalandsfoss & out the back of Hotel Framnes

From the day we were snowed in. I think its one of the only times I used an ND filter the whole trip. I think ND filters are getting a bit overused these days. Tried to avoid using one as much as possible on this trip.

Slightly different than the first one I posted. This one is growing on me a bit.

Church at Þingvellir

First roll I shot on the first night in Vik

for some reason I overexposed, and the resulting roll has negs that are "bulletproof" dense. All the information is there on the neg, just had finagle it out to something worth while.

Looking towards Dyrhólaey

This was my very first shot on our winter tour to Iceland - 10 am and desperately waiting for daylight...

Church Mountain and Ice Pads

The Black Church

I think that's Ian looking kinda mysterious in this shot.

At Pingvellir

The Church

This is the church beside the angry guy's house.

Skogafoss

This is looking the other way at the waterfall

Another Shot From Reynis

Reyniss Beach

Just before the snowstorm hit.

Stokkseryi

Finally getting to my film. This is the very interesting place near Selfoss. It was so cold out there that I almost lost my fingers to frostbite.

Snowstorm on the beach

Danni Stomp - the picture

No secrets - this picture was the motive for all the stomping! Taken on location just before the paparazzi arrived and the movie was made...(see below)

Another Beachy Shot

Ahhh... The Film Version

I'm still better in the darkroom than on the computer...

Shadows on snow

Icleandic farm after the storm had passed

I shot this picture out of the side window of the moving van on our way to Vik - put the camera on high Iso for a short exposure time. The storm clouds lifted a bit, and light was amazing. Still I wonder, how this split second of decision could work out. To me, this picture kind of represents the Icelandic winter, how it felt and how we experienced it. Sometimes, you get lucky...
