Gems On The Beach

Everyone knows about how beautiful Iceland is.  If there is a god then this is the place on earth where all the art school graduates display their work.  Almost anyplace you int your camera you will find incredible photo opportunities.  I have traveling to Iceland since 2005 and I have still so much to see and discover.

One place that yields new winning images every time I visit is the iceberg beach.  This is a beach not too far from a giant glacier.  The icebergs calving off the glacier float out to sea and then low tide washes them on the beach.  This usually produces under the right conditions hundreds of small icebergs.  It’s heaven for photographers.  These two images I produced in a couple of hours there.  The background also lends to great images and as you can see in these, what I call the Arctic Yellow shines though along with such beautiful clouds.

Greenland Imensity

I travel to all the polar regions every year.  I have witnessed the changes taking place environmentally.  Still, no matter how many times I see it I am always amazed by the size of the icebergs in Greenland.  Look at this image and the sheer size of the iceberg dwarfing our ship.  Remember too that we are only seeing approximately 1/10th the iceberg as 9/10ths of it is underwater and in this case grounded on the bottom.  I return to Greenland this September with a group o 30 photographers for a workshop I am running as part of Rockhopperworkshops.

Greenland Immensity

I was going through the images from my trip last August and came across this one.  I like this image as it really sums a lot up about Greenland.  Large rock walls, icebergs and bits of humanity.  The sailboat and iceberg against the solid towering rock walls makes a great shot.  I printed this image to 17×22 inches and will be hanging it in my office.

Glacier and Icebergs

I have said it before and I’ll say it again.  Greenland is the land of imensity.  This image is a good example.  This gigantic glacier winding its way down to the sea and a giant iceberg most likely from another glacier in front of it.  It seems everywhere you point your camera in Greenland you see images like this.

Abstract In Ice

Once again I am looking for the picture in the picture.  I will say this is an abstract image of a close up of a really pretty iceberg in Greenland.  I shot it from a zodiac handheld with a Sony a9 and 100-400mm lens.  I found a ton of cool looking ice in Greenland I did this with.  I’m going to make large prints and see how it looks on the wall.

Greenland Green Ice

I have been photographing lots of icebergs for the last 12 years and never have I seen an iceberg that looks like this.  We were miles away and saw this green and blue iceberg and asked the captain to drive us towards it.  He obliged and I was able to shoot a ton of images of this beast.  I used the Sony a9 and 100-400mm G Master lens to catch both the whole iceberg and close=ups.  I worked to find the picture in the picture.  The abstract of this ice was just beautiful.

Luminous-Landscape Iceland Workshop Day 2

Absolutely amazing is all I can say for the last 48 hours.  I have been to Iceland dozens of times and I can’t remember the last time I shot so much in such a short period.  Weather helps and we have been blessed with great weather.  All that is supposed to change by tomorrow. We did an ice cave, glacier walk, glacier canyon, and more bergs on the beach.  The group is small and allows us to do more together as a group.  Great people with us on this trip.  Lots of fun.  More tomorrow.

Because someone asked.  All images have been shot on a Sony a7r II with various G-Master lenses.

Iceland This Saturday

I’m not sure why, but every time I prepare to go to Iceland I get excited.  I have been to Iceland dozens of times.  Photographed just about every location there is and watched the country change over the last 14 years.  It used to be you could go anywhere in Iceland and not see a soul.  You could be the only photographer on a beach or at a waterfall.  Well, these days there are tour buses and lots of Asian tourists that have no regard for anyone else or even the landscape they are fortunate enough to see.  And, there are other photographers too who will walk right into your shot with no regard for anyone else.  Yes, this happens everywhere and not just Iceland.  Kind of a sign of the time.  So, I have decided that this year is the last year I will go to Iceland for a while.  It’s time to explore other areas and there are plenty of them.  I plan to have a good time this trip and then again this summer.  We have god groups put together for each trip, I am going to try to do a lot of long exposure work and hopefully catch some northern lights night like we had in Norway.  So, stay tuned and I’ll share images as I go.
