So this is the first post in quite a while. My plan for this year is to post one photo a week, starting from now. So hopefully, every Sunday, I will post some new stuff!

This one is continuing the Iceland theme, located at the same glacier I posted earlier. Around the glacial tongue, large puddles (actually more like small lakes) form where the ice melts below the surrounding volcanic rock.

It was a really nice day and there was a lot of blue in the sky, and this is something I tried to emphasise by bumping up the saturation on the blues. I always thought this picture a kind of other-world type look; the volcanic rocks, random pool and a fleeting glimpse of the mountain range.

I’m back with another picture from the Iceland trip. My intention is to post one a day for the next week – maybe it’ll look like I’m actually using my camera gear this way!

This is the Skógafoss waterfall, one of the largest in Iceland at about 180ft, if memory serves correctly, and is probably one of the most photographed sights. It can easily be seen from the main highway, Route 1.

In any case, I should probably point out that on this particular day – and on another three of our four days in the mainland – the weather was horrible. Very dreary lighting, mist and rain everywhere and I was struggling to come up with anything interesting from the photography point of view. Luckily, there were a couple of other tourists there and eventually my eye saw this. It just reminds me of how utterly insignificant a human life is compared to some of the other stuff we can find out there in nature.

After a long hiatus, I have some new photos! Recently, myself and Sarah travelled to Iceland to take in the sights and see some amazing scenery. This is – hopefully – the first of many posts to outline some of the better stuff we saw.

One of the best days was our visit to Skaftafell National Park, a very large glacier on the south-west coast. One of the things we were hoping to get a good look at was the Jokulsarlon glacial lagoon a few kilometers up the road. Basically it’s a large lagoon where icebergs forming from the glacier head out to sea.

Unfortunately… on the day we were there, it was extremely foggy and visibility was down to probably less than 100ft. However, we were treated to the following sight of some wild seals! Of course, just after this shot it started to rain horrificly, and all the kit got wet – as happened many times afterwards.

I know that I already posted one of the London Eye, but really it was too tempting to post this one as well! After we got off of the Eye we went and had a meal, and afterwards I managed to capture this from the Golden Jubilee bridge.

Really the conditions were ideal and I got lucky with the light. Very little wind, extremely still water in the Thames, which really made this an obvious candidate for the long exposure treatment. However… I’d neglected to bring my tripod. Oops – not doing that again!

Luckily, if you’ve ever been to the bridge, you’d know that the handrails are spaced just far enough that you can slip in a DSLR lens in-between them, and brace the camera against one of the supporting columns. So I got this pretty sharp 4s exposure.
