Snæfellsjökull National Park
Snæfellsjökull National Park is a stunning natural wonder located on the western coast of Iceland. The park is home to the iconic Snæfellsjökull glacier, which towers over the surrounding landscape at 1,446 meters high. The park is a popular destination for photographers, as it offers a diverse range of landscapes to capture, from rugged coastlines and volcanic craters to glaciers and lava fields. Some of the most popular photography locations in the park include the black sand beach of Djúpalónssandur, the picturesque village of Arnarstapi, and the stunning Kirkjufell mountain, which is often referred to as the most photographed mountain in Iceland.
Setting Sun illuminating Lóndrangar cliffs.
It was very windy, fortunately the cliffs on the right blocked most of the wind from West and so having a sharp long exposure wasn't impossible. While I don't like over-smoothed water, 40 seconds seemed to create the best patterns here.
Photo tips: Very wide angle lens are useful here in order to capture the nice cove below, which makes a nice leading curve to the cliffs in the distance.
Getting there: About 200m easy walk from parking right to the coast.

Malarrifsviti
This turned-to-stone troll Kerling is the most photogenic rock on this beach. Other rocks and waves provide interesting foreground for photography. Be careful though, waves can be very dangerous here, which is actually the case for many places on Iceland.
Photo tips: You'll need rather wider lens here. I think that a moody weather with some waves really suits this place, but nice sunrise, or probably even better sunset, would also be great times for photography here.
Getting there: It's just a short and easy walk from Djúpalónssandur Parking, which is easily accessible from the main road (574) circling the westernmost part of the Snæfellsnes peninsula.

Almost all lighthouses we saw in Iceland were painted in Yellow-Orange color and the Skalasnagi Lighthouse Near Hellissandur in the western tip of Snæfellsnes peninsula is no exception. It is surrounded by a huge lava field and fabulous rock formations.
