p.6 #1Iceland in winter with Nikon D800E + Zeiss lenses
Thanks for sharing your mastery and artistry. We're scheduled for Iceland and Svalbard end of May. After seeing your pics I think I can leave my camera at home!
Impossible to select a favorite.
Like a few others I'm just happy you shared with no opinion on how

Boris - Most excellent. My favorites show the black sand against a sunlit mountain but they are all wonderful.

I need to be watching the Nikon / Sony / Alt. forums more... it's not good that I'm stuck in the Canon section most of the time.

Excellent pictures.
Cutting down to the best 10 (or at least my favorites) I'd pick ;
3,6,12,20,22,24,29,31,36,38.

Gorgeous series! It's hard to narrow down the images I like. However, I am a sucker for the Northern Lights.
Any plans to print/frame your favorites?

I've really enjoyed looking at them all.
Perhaps my favourites might be 3, 11, 19, and 25...but that might differ on another day!
I'd like to read about how certain shots were taken, I don't mean the technical, but how you selected how and what to take, and when. i.e. a sort of journal to accompany the photos...so perhaps, not putting everything up front, but in batches, with commentary between. Also about any problems you had, with camera, lenses, places....just more "chat" ;o)
I must admit though, something seems to be missing without Philippe's input! I think seeing the same places with different artists interpretations is really fascinating, along with a different style of commentary plus banter.

Thanks Nick! I haven't printed for a long time (one of the reasons is that I have not many walls suitable for images in my house).
But if I would decide to print, these are my personal favorites of this trip: #6, #11, #24, #27.

Thanks timballic. I understand what you mean, but I sadly I haven't got the time to write more in detail about the circumstances of the shooting. But I gave a short discription of my experience in Iceland in my blog post on wild-places.com and some addtional information here while answering the questions for certain images.
And I agree that it would have been great if Philippe could have joined me again, but sadly it wasn't possible.

Hi Boris,
Excellent series of images. I will have to go back and review them again with much more care.
Hopefully in the future I will have the opportunity to visit Iceland and to take photos myself.

I just counted the votes. This is the ranking of my images according to the votes in this thread:
1st: #1 + #27 (11 votes each)
2nd: #3 + #25 (9 votes each)
3rd: #6 + #11 (8 votes each)
4th: #12 + #20 + #23 + #36 (7 votes each)
Most of these are also my favorite images.
The only image I'm missing in the top 10 is #24. But that's also an interesting information for me.
Thanks
Boris

Was just browsing the DPR post about the Garden Photographer of the Year competition and noticed that winning photo #3 - in the category 'Breathing Spaces' was pretty much the same location as my favourite of your set - #27. But I do believe your version is much more dramatic due to the much better use of the foreground elements.

I wonder if there are days in these Iceland locations where you're dealing with working around other photographers...?
BTW, I do like #24 for its very moody, gray nature, but somehow doesn't quite pull together all the elements, IMO, as some of the others. Might just be my preferences.

As a local I can tell you that it's becoming increasingly hard to not have people (or steps) in the frame at the most popular sites. There are fewer people here in the winter though. It's a drastic change from just 4 or 5 years ago when there were no tourists during winter. But Iceland is quite large and even if there are people around most of them are photographers or have understand if you ask them to step out of you frame for a minute. I think the only place that has too many people now is Jökulsárlón lagoon and the beach below it. Few years back you could walk around searching for a cool icecube and then set up. Now it's most likely if you find one on of the 500 people there is sitting on it.
I still like visiting the tourist stops but have started to seek locations away form the main road and Iceland holds endless amount of dramatic landscape spots.
