Iphone´s make our life so easy. We have been photographing birds near Myvatn for the past two days and shot some "behind the lens" shots with our iPhones. The result is the following video. All the clips are taken on iPhones except the drone...
Getting really close to the birds
This week we have been photographing birds in northeast Iceland. Mostly in and near the Myvatn area. The summer is not here yet even though the tourists think so. The tourists are everywhere which is strange for this time of year. It´s obvious that...
