Sharing more images from my recent photo tour in Iceland I led with friend Iurie Belegurschi, most of the time I found myself just looking at our clients go around and shoot and I wasn't doing much. The weather was not like 12 months ago, (last time I went Sept 2012), everyday was off and on so you really could not do much planning more so if you have accomodation and travel with 13 other people.

Anyways I did find a few short windows to capture some photos by myself that I think would at least sit well with my collection of shots from Iceland.

Thanks and advance for viewing and putting down your comments, they are much appreciated. You may see more of my photos from www.500px.com/christianlim

Deep Blue Something


Been listening to alot of 90s alternative music the past few weeks so I guess the title would be relevant specifically to this image. Golden light from the sunrise passes through a bit of cloudless mid sky illuminating the areas around the entrance of Geysir. Here is an image of one of the blue pools which could look like an entrance to the underworld.

Suspended


Ok so now I wanted to get a Monochrome shot of Kirkjufell out of the cam, with my picture style adjusted to specifically shoot black and white instead of conversion from a color profile. During my first time I had some really good light during sunset and even got the first shots of this place taken in Invisible Light (with a Hoya R72). I ran quick with my camera mounted for one shot as it was about to rain, no GND, the balance was perfect, off the live view it was obvious. So saved time by not having to mount the filter holder and the Grad. Always check first!

Portrait of Öxarárfoss


Öxarárfoss is a small waterfall in Pingvellir National Park, a short stop to hunt for some magic mushrooms and visit this site. I was here before and had taken a shot in good light from a vantage point down the stream with some foreground so I pointed my companions to the spot. It got too crowded hence I opted to shoot something else, this one with a mid range lens as I could see everyone with a wide angle, though that was what I was going for, initially.

Oblivion

I set off to Iceland not very mindful of shooting northern lights but instead to capture some really good glacier ice flowing from the jokulsarlon lagoon to the black beach.

The sunset was inviting at the lagoon but I've been there 2x already during this trip, so this time I took one shot early from the lagoon and rushed all by myself to the beach catching these blocks of ice amongst a few I took near the end of the shoreline. Sunset is quite different in this area during September as the sun sets behind the glacier and not directly on the horizon on the ocean side. So I was hoping for some light to reach the area before I decided to ditch the glacier lake.

Ironic, that I was all alone and the rest were shooting at the lagoon, basically the same stuff they had already taken the day previous.

the title, inspired by the movie OBLIVION.

LOVE that last one. Awesome. I'm going to be there late August/Early September next year. Are you saying this isn't a good time for the sunsets at the lagoon and black sand beach?

All these are great, but #2 stands out to me. Foreground and sky compliment each other perfectly!

Love the moody black and white. The last is really dramatic and beautiful as well. Thanks for posting. Every time I see images from Iceland they make me really want to travel there for an extended period of time.

thanks guys, ending this posting with one more image so sorry I have a habit of adding a 5th.

Noble Columns


Golden Hour in Husafell Basaltic River in Iceland, the waters are actually blue during summer and sometimes in winter. The past few days it kept raining so all the movement of the earth changed the color of the stream.
