hi, we have the last spots left on our 6 day Late Summer highland photo tour August 28 - September 2nd. Already this time of year we can expect to see Northern lights as well. Check it out here :

August 28-sept 2 2018 6 days – 5 nights   A combination of the mild late summer light, and less visitors at this time of year makes this trip to the south Iceland highlands all the more special. We use a special lifted, modified truck, to get us safely over open rivers and primitive roads. …

Morgning light in Mýtvatn last February. A test shot on my new Nikon D850 at the time. A thin cloud gets lit up and makes the otherwise monotone photo work. Some times you are lucky ;) And so did my group.

From one of our customer, Gordon Kilgore:
My trip to Iceland in June of 2013 was arranged and guided by Dee Ann Pederson (www.windowsofnature.com). Our local host, guide and driver was Haukur Snorrason, who with his wife, Hadda operate the excellent Hrifunes Guesthouse (www.hrifunesguesthouse.is) Haukur had a specially equipped 4X4 van with huge tires and could go just about anywhere he wanted. We probably spent about as much time off road as on the road with absolutely no signs to guide him. Haukur knew the country like the back of his hand. Being a photographer as well, Haukur took our group of six to sites when the light was at its best.

This is the Hvitserkur sea stack at Homafjordur, Iceland. The name Hvitserkur translates into English as “white shirt”, (yes, SHIRT) which comes from the color of the guano deposited by birds on the rocks. This basalt sea stack is about 45 feet high and is located on the eastern shore of the Vatnsnes peninsula in northwest Iceland.

There are no signs pointing to the sea stack, so as you drive along the coast you are looking out to sea from a very high bluff. The only hint that something of interest might be found is a parking lot. A short walk brought us to the edge of the bluff and there below was Hyitserkur. The sun was setting off to the west so some of our group began setting up tripods near the edge of the bluff. We were told of a rough “trail” that descended 100-200 feet to the rocks and sea below. I had a look and was not sure that this was something that I could manage, but was assured that people had indeed descended and climbed back up again. Had I been by myself I would never have attempted to climb down, but with great care I did manage to get down to the sea and back up. A few others from our group chose to follow as well. It was a beautiful sight looking out from Osar Beach across the rocks with low light and clouds in the sky.

I had been to several places in Iceland on cruises, so I thought that I knew what to expect. I was wrong! Iceland is so much more than I had envisioned. I suppose you could fly into Reykjavik, rent a 4X4 vehicle and drive the ring road pulling off at advertised sites. It would certainly not be a waste of time and money, but you would miss the Iceland that I saw and experienced.

Hér eru nokkrar myndir úr hálendis ferðinni frá í Júlí, gekk vel og rættist úr veðrinu en það var ekki gæfulegt dagana áður en ferðin hófst. Ef allt er eðlilegt þá færðu allar tegundir af veðri í svona ferð og það gekk eftir nema ekkert ógeðisveður kom í heimsókn svo við misstum ekki mínútu í óveður. Enda júlí kommon ! ;)
