Last full day in Iceland! And we made the most of it, and started before breakfast to shoot the Hvítserkur basalt stack. The official description says that it looks like a dragon which is drinking, but in my eyes it’s clearly a mammoth! After breakfast, we had our last shots at waterfalls and visited a…

I got my wish and we didn’t head out before breakfast. I think everybody was a bit tired after yesterday! We are going to move to a new location today but the drive isn’t quite as long as the one three days ago, so we had time for a proper morning shoot. We took the…

We started before breakfast to visit a hot spot for a morning shoot. And by hot spot I mean it literally – boiling mud, fumaroles, and all that. Photographically, for me personally, it was perhaps more like lukewarm. I couldn’t quite figure out what to make of the steam… this wasn’t a great landscape place,…

It’s here – the wind and the rain and the snow. Basically, normal Icelandic weather! It was raining by Mývatn but as soon as we started driving up a mountain, it turned to snow instead. Photography became a bit of a challenge, but we made a brave effort at Krafla, a water filled volcano crater.…

We spent another day in the lava desert, and it was another day with good weather. The wind only bothered us occasionally, and some places were mirror calm (although typically, as soon as we had cameras out, the wind broke the water). In the evening we visited a wonderful valley with more waterfalls than you…

I wasn’t going to do this, but here I am again – in Iceland! I was planning to do it next year, but a cancellation opened up a spot on this year’s trip with Creative Adventures and I thought, why wait, so I took the spot. We arrived yesterday and had time to settle in…

I’m pretty good at not losing things. What I mean is that if I lose something, I find it again. Sometimes quickly, sometimes after a long while, but those lost things have a habit of coming back to me. Most of the time, anyway. A couple of weeks ago I lost the remote for my…

I spotted another waterfall in satellite pictures and scouted the spot in Fjällnäs a couple of months ago. Been waiting for an opportunity to shoot the falls since then, and today I finally got there. I was hoping for a bit more colour in the trees, but it is what it is – the moth…

Sometimes Plan B works out better than Plan A. I have a feeling that this was the case for this mini-vacation. Instead of doing Galdhøpiggen (bad weather), I did some last minute research and found a route that includes the Aursjøveien (Aursjøvegen) mountain road, Norway’s highest waterfall Mardalsfossen, the spectacular Romsdalseggen hike in Åndalsnes, and the…

The wind is really bad today. And when I drove the Mittåkläppen road in the morning, the thermometer showed a generous 4 degrees (well, at least it was above freezing). I had gloves which really were needed, but a cap and some long underwear would’ve also felt nice. On the upside, no mosquitoes! With the…
