Eystri-Fellsfjara

Seeing as Winter is rapidly approaching I thought I'd post this one up from earlier in the year, it's looking increasingly unlikely I'll be going to Iceland in the Winter again this coming year with everything that's currently going on, I can't even get out to travel and shoot much in this Country let alone abroad until things change... but I guess most of us are in the same boat for now...

This was shot at sunrise at Jokusarlon on the South East Coast of Iceland, there was a tinny little window of opportunity where the sun was going to be visible due to the very heavy clouds, so when it popped it's head over the horizon you had to be ready...

The ice to the rear is acting as a great light splitter, projecting the warm light towards the main Ice Berg as if it was a red carpet (well OK, Orange....) for it's arrival onto the black sands.

Even though it was this year, this seems like an absolute age away now!

The Diamond Beach is a strip of black sand belonging to the greater Breiðamerkursandur glacial plain, located by Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon on the South Coast of Iceland.

At the Diamond Beach, the icebergs which fill the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon wash up on shore, creating a stark contrast with the volcanic black sand. This beautiful display makes it a favorite location for photographers and nature-lovers. Wildlife-enthusiasts also frequent the site as many seals call the beach home, and it is one of the best places in the country to see orcas from the shore.

This was shot during a photography workshop I conducted last November in Iceland. Diamond Beach is very fun and challenging at the same time. One of our participant lost his camera because of a big wave...

Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon in Iceland

Mini Bergs on Jokulsarlon beach, South Iceland.

I seem to have a stack of images from this location so every now and again i I'll have another look through and pick just one or 2 to process so I'm not looking at similar things over and over again.

This one caught my eye as the Diamond like Iceberg was completely isolated from the wash of the ocean and is in pretty much 100% contrast to the black sand beach, it's 2 other comrades have yet to make it to the beach and are seen bathing in equal measures of sea and sunlight.
