Reykjanes Peninsula

Reykjanes Peninsula

Iceland is well known for it's stunning landscapes and seascapes, and is turning into one of the most heavily photographed places. Finding unique and places or different approaches to Iceland is not a easy challenge. During my visit I was recommended by my Icelandic family members to visit the Reykjanes Peninsula and the lighthouse Reykjanesviti. Since this is not one of the most photographed places, I honestly had no clue what to expect. Of course I did some research first, and I was surprised how beautiful this place was.

Deep Woods

During this time of the year, the days are getting shorter, darker, colder and wetter. The rivers are rushing like theres no tomorrow and the clouds lay like a thick white blanket above us. I always find this period between fall and winter as a challenging time. The camera is gathering dust while waiting for the weather to become more intriguing, or maybe it is just me that gets demotivated. I always seem to need some weeks getting used to this period. As soon as the snow lays it's cold white prints of magic around us, my motivation is back. But this period, when it's all grey and colors is a word from a foreign dictionary seems longer then winter itself.

Little Stony Man

Shenandoah National Park glowing in the early fall, viewed from the Little Stony Man Summit.

As some of you know, I recently spend two weeks in Virginia/Washington D.C visiting my mother and father that's been living there the last 4 years. This trip was not intended to be a photo vacation, but two weeks where I can spend some quality time with my family. However, my mom is very interested in photography herself, and it is really nice to go shooting with her

Panoramic View of Tempelseter

The last week I have been exploring the new social media, Ello.coAt first sight Ello seems very simple, clean and easy to use, which it also is. I am impressed by the high quality of the images uploaded, they don't tear the quality at all! Posting images almost feels like posting a blog. It is up to you if you want to have the text over or under the images, yes images! You can easily upload multiple photos, but all images appear under each other, theres no option to view them side by side.

Walking down memory lane

... and a quick intro on how to photograph waterfalls

It was one of those days I had the need to go out to photograph, but I had nothing planned and no idea where to go! The sun was warm, but went in and out of partly heavy clouds. Earlier that morning it had been raining, and I knew that the condition would turn out very good for photographing waterfalls. Thinking back to the days when I hiked the local areas with my dad, I remembered a spot I haven't been to in ages!
