    Wave Crashing on Ice.

    Glacier view from this morning. Stunning. Ridiculously windy.

    Going out to shoot the Vatnajökull glacier! The light is awesome!

    We tried waiting out the rain yesterday to shoot the Vatnajökull glacier. The rain won.

    Backing Up While Traveling

    Time to backup all of the Iceland trip photos to two separate 500G portable drives. Not going to lose any of these photos!

    Atlantic Black Sand in Iceland.

    Skógafoss in Iceland.

    Northern Atlantic Waves

    Waves crashing onto the shore in Iceland. Play the audio while you look at the pictures. The tinkling sound in the audio is all of the pebbles on the beach being thrown in the waves.

    Glasshouse Through Trees at Night

    In Selfoss, Iceland for tonight. Going out for some night photography.

    Goodbye Djúpavík! Way up north!

    Iceland Road with Sheep

    Djúpavík Herring Factory

    We decided to explore the Northern reaches of Iceland and drove to Djúpavík. Djúpavík is home to a deserted Herring factory that has been closed since 1954. The factory has been sitting abandoned with much of the original equipment left in place. The factory was dark with bright shafts of light coming through sparse windows and cracks.

    Photographically the entire scene struck me as a perfect opportunity for HDR photography.

    Icelandic Horse.

    Got a kicking Ford Transit to explore Iceland Euro-style.
