I’m back in Iceland! This will be half the same trip that I did two years ago, but hopefully with completely different weather! But at least I’m better prepared now – I have enough warm clothes with me so I don’t have to freeze the whole week like I did the last time! There was…

The last day! It’s surprising how calm the weather is again, so we started with some lakeside shooting. But then, inevitably, it started raining again so after a few frames I packed the camera again. The rain wasn’t all bad though, and it was coming and going, so after breakfast we drove to a place which…

The weather wasn’t good enough to bother for a morning shoot, so we had a sleep-in and ate breakfast at the hotel, then started driving towards Glencoe. By the time we reached it, it was raining – pouring. And windy. We drove to Glen Etive and the others seemed to be inspired to shoot despite the…

We did a morning hike to a valley with several waterfalls. The hike up was a bit harder than I expected, and the result less rewarding… it’s not the fault of the place, it really has potential, it’s just that the light wasn’t anything to cheer about. But finally I found a waterfall I was…

We had a surprise in store for us today! We were going to take a boat trip to a loch which is otherwise inaccessible, unless you’re prepared to hike through rough terrain (and a lot of mud). We drove to Elgol again but instead of going back to the hotel after the morning shoot, we…

This time we had a late morning, we ate breakfast before heading out. The first stop was at the Old Man of Storr, which is a huge column (like a hoodoo) surrounded by other columns and cliff formations. Clouds were still low, and the Old Man was hidden much of the time. We waited patiently…

This is when the shooting starts. It was an early wakeup call so we could get to Elgol in southern Isle of Skye for seaside photography. Rocks in the foreground, and the mighty Cuillin Hills (highest peak 993m) in the background. On this morning however, you couldn’t see the mountains for the low clouds and…

The flight was uneventful, just the way I like it. Before boarding, they wanted to see the passports and the expiry date of my passport was brought up, but luckily another steward knew that for UK you don’t need a passport which is valid six months after the trip – mine will expire in December…

Once again, we got up early (no alarm clocks needed) and the first order of the day was to visit Dalsnibba, which is a viewpoint at 1500 MASL and advertises itself as giving the highest view over a fjord in the world. The fjord in question being Geiranger, and you can also see the serpentine…

The night wasn’t exactly warm, but I was quite cozy in my tent. It didn’t mean that I got a good night’s sleep though, I just couldn’t fall asleep at first and then I kept waking up during the early morning hours. Nevermind, this landscape is so awesome that it’s impossible to feel tired and…
