The Pictures & Sites:
First my overview - I tried very hard to provide an experience of what I perceived as "in the fashion of how Iceland is meant to be experienced". I did this by many means. How I took my photos, to the music choreography, to motions via panning and selected transitions. This collection of pictures tells the story, not particularly my best photos taken.
I found Icelanders and the land itself has a quietly told and proudly revered history. The land is young, raw and diverse. I brought my love of photography to its rugged and beautiful shores; I left with respect for the people and their country. I tried my best to capture some of ... "what is Iceland".
Please remember that I took these photos under whatever conditions "mother nature" provided. Most were cloudy and many were in the rain. Not to mention we moved 11 out of 14 nights to a different hotel, and all the shots were taken "on the move", in fact... I did not include any photos of Iceland's largest waterfall due to heavy rains that prevented any photos at all.
This video is my "Directors Cut Edition" where I spent much attention to timing and fine tuning how this video plays. It is contains a six (6) album menu. This video is PART 1.
Album one (1) - The Arrival (approx. run time: 13:30 min., Reykjanes Peninsula - Southwest Iceland)
This was a long day for us. An all night flight, customs in the morning, car rental, many sites while we burn day light until the hotel is available. Sites like ;
o The Reykjanes Peninsula Area - Peninsula on which Keflavik Int. Airport, the capital... Reykjavik sit.
o Hveragerdi - slopes with strange steaming crevasses and yellow sulfur markings.
o Medlina - The Mid-Atlantic Ridge; a Division between the North American Continental Plate and the European Continental Plate (i think).
o Blue Lagoon - Spa heated lakes of water from a geothermal plant (outside shots only).
o Hallfrimsskirkja Church - a modern basalt church, from where (bell tower) I took a few elevated surrounding photos.
o Reykjavik City scenes - the marina, streets, sculptures, Buildings, Homes and lastly... The Fron Hotel (great place – I highly recommend it).
