No problems with my flight in the morning, and the train was on time as well. I made it to Lappeenranta perfectly in time for lunch, and it was an easy choice – I just had to have a ”vety”. It’s a meat pie with ham and egg, this is original Karelian fast food! I…
Driving to Arlanda, I will stay the night at the Jumbo Stay and catch an early morning flight to Finland. Exciting days ahead!
We had time for some photography in the morning, but it didn’t require driving anywhere. They had Icelandic horses at the guesthouse and they were really friendly, so you could go in their paddock and then have hard time photographing them because they came right up to you to. One of them tried to eat…
On the last day in Iceland, we tried something new – we skipped the early morning session and had breakfast first, before heading out to the field. We drove to the same area where we were yesterday, but just stopped at slightly different spots. There had been more snow overnight… or maybe not snow, but…
I just can’t figure out this seashore thing. This morning we didn’t have long to go to the sea because it’s right by our guesthouse, but that doesn’t help when the light doesn’t play nice. It was overcast with just a small gap which I thought might work, so at first I waited by the…
A windy and rainy morning for a change. But we got a bit of relief when we did our shooting in a cave, the only problem was that the cave wasn’t really big enough for 8 photographers and their tripods so I took my pictures in a bit of a hurry (I wasn’t inspired enough…
It was another windy morning, but as long as we could be spared from the rain, it’s half the battle. On the seaside though, there’s always some spray that ends up on the lens, so I kept the small microfiber towel close at hand to wipe the lens. But one thing about this sea shore…
Another morning spent at Jökulsárlón. You’d think that it gets boring by now, but the conditions were different again (more wind, less rain) and the beach in particular was different – the wind had driven in small icebergs so there was much more ice in the water than there had been on the previous mornings.…
What a difference a night makes! When we got out at 5.45, it was pouring rain. But we didn’t come to Iceland to sleep in, so we drove to Jökulsárlón and got to see the beach in a completely different light (literally!). I was super-careful to keep away from the waves and that shows, my…
Wake-up call at 5am – welcome to Iceland! I wish I could say I got at least 5 hours of sleep, but it was more like 3-4 hours. But this is way too exciting to feel tired! Our first destination was the beach at Jökulsárlón. It’s pointless to say that it’s very special because every…
