Iceland was both a fairytale and nightmare for me. On the way to Gullfoss, I got into an accident and thankfully no one was hurt. We were haunted by the experience, but once we made our way there the next day, that haunting feeling vanished, and that is what makes Iceland so magical.

A shot at Brúarfoss in Iceland. The waterfall is slightly tricky to find (crossing a bridge where it says, one may not cross, and then a short hike). This particular shot was taken using a super-tele lens to get close to the falls. Not the most powerful waterfall on Iceland, but sure one of the most beautiful ones, as there is mostly glacier water coming down, which gives it its fantastic colors.

This hidden majesty was captured deep inland on the southern part of Iceland. You have to take a 4x4 road for about 10 miles. Once you reach jagged parking lot, you can hear the raging water flowing down, crashing against the rocks below. Haifoss is the second tallest waterfall in Iceland. Do not miss out on it’s beauty.

Taken at Iceland’s second largest glacier Langjökull. I was based at the foot of the mass of ice taking abstract shots of the patterns running through the frozen mass when a group of friendly hikers passed me. I waited in position watched their cautious ascent up the intimidating glacier. When the hikers reached a prime position I took my shot, emphasising the fact that when man and nature co-operate they create a powerful work of art.

March 2017, on the eve of my 28th Birthday, I decided to try and catch the Norther Lights for the first time. We sat in the national park Þingvellir, just outside Reykjavik for a few hours, freezing, unsure what we were looking for. Then right in the distance I saw a very feint white light appear in the sky where the clouds were just a short hour ago. I pointed it out just as people started to stand up and get excited. The lights started here and danced above our heads and over to the other side of the hill we were standing on. I cried.

Geologically Almannagjá is a part of the North Atlantic rift system that stretches to the south pole in the Atlantic ocean. The length of the Almannagjá gorge is eight kilometers and one of the interesting places where you can see tectonic plates drift apart. But you would, unfortunately, have to stay there for a few hundred years to see the movement. The cliffs that tower over the walking path tell a long, complex and fascinating geological story.

I was travelling through Iceland in the fall of 2016, we stopped at a volcanic crater called, Kerið, just before sunset. Iceland is a magical place in November. There is just enough daylight to stay sane (sunrise is around 9.30am and sunset around 4pm) but at the same time sun is always very low in the sky making every minute feel like golden hour. The last 30mins before sunset, which is when this photo was taken, was one of the most beautiful skies I have ever seen.

This is scary, I mean, the landscape is awesome but being there is really scary, especially if you are alone, like I was. This is where my trip around Iceland began, I had the car full of food, beverages and most important, gas. However, looking at this road, and realizing that you are almost alone (just one car far far away) in the middle of nothing, that, really makes you think about a lot of stuff..

I was going through some old photos and I found this shot from the first time we landed in Iceland. We drove for about 40 min and just randomly chose a turn-off. The area looked beautiful but pretty flat and we just happened to stumble upon this beauty. I knew right then that I had fallen in love with this place, I was hooked.

One of the last auroras for this winter. Driving a country road, while sky started to explode, so a stop was a must. Night was dark and F4 lens needed an extra ISO to make it work. This is what came out....shadows were lifted and brightness also a bit, exposure worked with 20 seconds so there are startrails visible if zoomed in.

I took this picture during my trip in Iceland, near by a hotel I spent the night. We could see the Eyjafjallajökull volcano near by. I remember I smiled at this basketball court, wondering if anyone ever played here :D No hoop ! But it was special and the sunset here was so beautiful !

I had the experience of going inside of a glacier - a rare opportunity. It won’t be available in 10 years time because of the glacier melting and hence becoming unstable. You may not believe that Global Warming is caused by man but it’s certainly exists and is a threat to mankind.

Landmannalaugar, Iceland - one the most beautiful places in Iceland. The drive to this place via the F-Roads, the sceneries, the numerous lakes, snow capped mountains, etc… all of this just adds fuel to the fire.

Hiking to extremes on Iceland’s Laugavegur Trail Hiking in Iceland evokes a sense of freedom that reaches an unparalleled magnitude. As you follow hiking trails flanked by bold rock formations and purple Arctic flora, you realize that Iceland’s mighty nature stands before you, unaltered by humans, just as it has for thousands of years.

Midnight walk to the lake in Icelandic highlands. Taking a picture of myself again....after running down to the lake in those 10sec that i had with time triger. I put a bit exposure up and contrast. The picture has also hdr over, because lifting shadows didnt do much, since it is a very dark picture to start with. Picture looks a bit magical, but reality was also nice that evening

Went exploring a bit into the highlands, when i found a spot to park…walked around and got this shot. At the back you can see a glacier which comes from eyjafjallajokull . That is the volcano that erupted in 2010 and set Iceland back on map for a while. Not everybody liked that since they were stranded on airports :)

What seems like floating up in the air, is just the light effect that the torch does, reflecting from the water. I was standing also on a rock in the middle of a water stream. Picture was taken at midnight in a canyon. There is a small glimpse of green up in the sky, those were the auroras that were outside the canyon

On a mission to start crossing some must sees off of my bucket list, I booked a quick trip to Iceland to chase the northern lights. Turns out, I barely had to leave Reykjavik and I caught my first glimpse on my first night about 10 minutes outside of town.

On August, I spent about two weeks in Iceland and Greenland. This glacier was the first astonishment as we arrived in Iceland. The first time in my life sitting so close to the glacier and touch the cold water. Not just cold but extremely freezing. Still, an unbelievably beautiful scenery with no doubt.

It was my last day in Iceland. My girlfriend and I were walking around and try to discover something new. We found this car alone on this big parking and the sunrise happened at the same time. It was one of those moments you don’t live every day.
