When you have spent decades photographing Iceland, it becomes harder to find new locations, creative compositions, and subjects. Sometimes you manage to find new compositions, sometimes not, and this photography trip to the mysterious mountain Snæfell in East Iceland demonstrated what we’ve often encountered: you need to return to some places, again and again, to get different conditions and lighting for your photography – and not least to learn the location and do what photographers call “working the scene.”
Few shots from the photo journey
Gyða gives a sense of scale, standing in front of the Hafrahvammagljúfur canion.
The patterns and abstract formations created by the small ponds in the desert are amazing.
The wind was strong when this was taken. The colors of the Snæfell mountain remind of Landmannalaugar. The colors are similar since this is a volcano. Some believe the mountain is still an active volcano.
