Architectural Abstracts
I love cities for a lot of reasons, especially for all they offer a photographer in subjects that can be photographed. I take walks on the streets early in the morning and shoot people, buildings, light and shadow and even elements like door knobs. I usually work with long lenses. These were taken with a Fuji XT2 and a 100-400 zoom.
My Apologies And A New Image
It’s been a few weeks since I posted last. Sorry, I have been a bit underwater with projects and just had no more time in a. day. I have been doing a. good job on catching up and I’m now in a position where I can start this on a more regular basis again. Today’s image was made in Iceland at a classic location. It’s been photographed a million time, but I tried to do something different by making a pano image of the falls and the mountain.
Big Blue
It’s not too late to join our trip to Greenland this summer. You can expect to photograph amazing icebergs like the one above in addition to incredible landscapes the like of which you have never experienced. Check it out at Rockhopperworkshops.
Reflections Of Greenland
Greenland is a spectacular place. I don’t know why I waited so long to go there. There are incredible landscapes. Glaciers by the dozens. and if you’re lucky to get a calm day gorgeous reflections like this one of massive rock walls and a glacier reflected in the water.
Little Waterfall – Part of A Big Waterfall
I was in Iceland shoot a very big waterfall. I love waterfalls and I am sure by now you know how much I love Iceland. After I shot the bigger waterfall I but my long lens on the Fuji-Xt2. It has the reach of a 600mm lens on a full frame camera. I started to explore at the longest focal lengths different parts of the waterfall. I used a 1/2 to 1-second exposure to shoot what I found. This was one of those shots.
Big Ass Waterfall
One thing that I never get tired of in Iceland is waterfalls. I know some people do as there is a waterfall around every turn. You could go nuts shooting waterfalls in Iceland. This waterfall, Gullfoss has so much water running over it is staggering. Where does it all come from? Rather than shoot the falls like everyone else and tried to fit this mammoth waterfall into the frame I put on my 400mm lens and shot the falls in close. I also tried various shutter speeds until I found one that gave the falls just the right look. Not too velvety and not to definitive. I liked the way this turned out.
Dried Iceland Mud
I know it’s a strange thing to say, but Iceland has the nicest mud. This image was made in a geothermal field in Iceland. As I was walking around this giant area that had bubbling hot springs with bubbling mud I came across dried out areas. The mud had dried and cracked. It looked so pretty so I did a series of images. This is one of them. Kind of abstract but not. I liked it and hope you do.
Red Roof Church
As you can see if you have been folloWing my blog for a while, I have a thing with Iceland. It’s. amagical place. I always find something different to photograph there. I was on a day tour from Reykjavik and came across this church on one of the many back road I explored. The red roof and the background makes for a very serene photo.
Puffin
When visiting Iceland it is a fun side trip to find and visit a puffin colony. These cute birds usually nest along cliffs and there are some spots in Iceland where they are quite prevalent. They are colorful birds and put on quite a show. During the nesting times, these birds will fly into the ocean, grab some krill and fly up to the cliff. They then wait a few minutes to make sure the coast is clear and then fly to their chicks with a mouth full of food. I shot a ton of images of the Puffins and used the Fuji XT-2 and 100-00mm lens. It was great fun plus I got some nice images.
