One can't spend time in Iceland without visiting (and shooting!) the familiar. As was the case during my trip in late June. Sure, I went off trail to find some new locations - but I also felt like I had to go to the popular - and very accessible spots. The challenge was to try and present these areas in a different light (pun intended). Perhaps not the most unique views you will ever see - and I do apologize for that - but I wanted to offer my take on the popular.
Those certainly are iconic and I can definitely recognize each location (also helps that I have been to them all).
My favorite is Skogafoss (second image). Its a somewhat unique view of the waterfall and you managed to capture way more colors than I have seen there in my 3 visits to that spot. And I like that you shot it farther back to give it a little extra context. And even managed to do it in a way so as to not show any of the people or touristy areas near it.
Icons!! Very hard to pick a fav because the first 4 are all wall hangers. . . but if forced it would be #1 due to its simple strong comp and amazing golden light! Dave

Thanks - The shot of Skogafoss was from the other side of the river - and just off the main road. This was shot around 1:00am - so not that many people were there then - although the angle and the grassy berm did allow me to "hide" the few that were there.
