Floating bird hide photography

Behind the lens January 13, 2022

Photographing birds is what we love to do. This was a surprising and productive day of bird photography in a floating hide.

This nice evening of landscape photography at Borgin in Grimsey, a.k.a The Golden Puffin Castle, turned into a kind of plug for our favorite chocolate in Iceland. It was not our intention, it just happened. We had been waiting for the right conditions so we could retake photos we shot a few years ago. The photos are today used...
