A few more images captured at Jökulsárlón - first in the evening the day before when the waves buffeted the drift ice and glacier pieces. It was cold and windy that day.
What a change in the following morning! The sun was up, the wind was practically still and the tidal ebbed, exposing the beaten up pieces of ice on the beach. But it was cold nonetheless. Although it didn't look like it but there between 100 and 150 people on the beach, making it really difficult to take picture without including people in your frame, especially using a wide angle lens.
The ice pieces pictured in the morning were actually fairly small but captured at close up distances and low angle, practically on the ground in some cases. The flip screen did come in really handy in this case . ...Show more →
These are quite superb Joshua ..and the last one in particular is exactly what I'm, looking for, sunset through the ice.
I'll be PM'ing for tips on some recommended sites / B&B (though I'll be camping most of the time / car hire if you don't mind ?

Thanks, Kevin! No problem, I will be happy to help. Please, feel free to do so.
Right off the bat, since the weather in Iceland is unpredictable and the chance of getting sunrise/sunset is not that great, and if this location tickles your fancy, you will increase your chance of experiencing the low setting sun by spending more time here. We went 3X to that beach over 2 nights we spent at nearby lodging, which was still 30-40 minute drive away.
Wow, beautiful this page. Helena, Joshua you're off the scale. Gregg this G90 is performing brilliantly, as does the Minolta Mark. And yes, Gregg, there must be something that compensates for the view and greeness...
Some incredible images by Joshua, Gregg, Helena and more!
Yesterday, I was up on the 42nd floor of a building downtown that had incredible views. I'm glad I was following the 'carry a camera wherever you go' rule.
Great work yourself Gregg. I make it to Santa Cruz around three times a year. Most of the time with the 1DX and 400 for surfing shots. Next trips will be with the new A7II

Thanks, Gregg! Yes, next time I will be up in your neck of the wood, I will let you know and if you go down south, please do let me know.
Thank you, Helena.
A few more from the same spot as the day progressed as I was trying to capture more and sometimes bizarre "ice sculptures" scattered around on the beach....

Absolutely love the one of the man sitting with his hand on his face! I'm still struggling with composition and editing, but something about that picture really stands out. I think B&W was the perfect choice. The last one I like too, but has some weird CA on the grating around the tree at the bottom. Surprised such a beautiful lens has CA.
