Reykjanesfólkvangur

Reykjanesfólkvangur is a stunning nature reserve located in the southwestern part of Iceland. This area is known for its rugged volcanic landscapes, geothermal activity, and unique wildlife. It is a popular destination for nature lovers and photographers alike, as it offers a plethora of breathtaking photography locations. From the dramatic cliffs of Valahnúkur to the bubbling mud pools of Gunnuhver, Reykjanesfólkvangur is a photographer's paradise. The reserve is also home to a variety of bird species, including puffins, which can be photographed up close at the nearby Reykjanes lighthouse.

¡Qué ansioso estaba por comenzar este álbum! Islandia en invierno. Este fue mi primer viaje fotográfico, y lo hice con Fran Llano y Foto Earth Travel. Nunca había antes había hecho un viaje de esta forma. Todo fue novedoso: contacté con Fran Llano a través de Facebook, todas las gestiones fueron por internet. No sabía ni que me iba a encontrar, ni con qué tipo de gente iba a compartir el viaje. Tampoco sabía el nivel de fotografía del resto del grupo. Bueno, sabía el mío y no era muy bueno. Con todo, me embarqué en esta aventura y el resultado fue un gran viaje, que recuerdo con mucha estima. A parte de aprender mucho en fotografía y conseguir hacer fotos a las Auroras Boreales (todo un reto); hice muy buenos amigos que aún conservo y con los que aun quedo de vez en cuando para hacer salidas fotográficas. Por supuesto, este no iba a ser el último viaje fotográfico después de la gran experiencia. Espero que os guste igual que lo disfruté yo.


How eager I was to start this album! Iceland in winter. This was my first photography trip, and I did it with Fran Llano and Foto Earth Travel. I had never made a trip like this before. Everything was new: I contacted with Fran Llano through Facebook, all the procedures were online. I did not know what I was going to find, or what kind of people I was going to share the journey with. I also didn't know the photography level of the rest of the group. Well, it tasted mine and it wasn't very good. All in all, I embarked on this adventure and the result was a great journey, which I remember with great esteem. Apart from learning a lot in photography and getting to take photos of the Northern Lights (quite a challenge); I made very good friends that I still have and with whom I still meet from time to time to do photographic outings. Of course, this was not going to be the last photography trip after the great experience. I hope you like it just as I enjoyed it.
