Ströndin við Stapa og Hellna

Isolation
Arnarstapi
by Pete Rowbottom

Following on with the 'impromptu relelvent title series'... this seemed to fit and obviously a word we are now using in regularly in our everyday lives, as opposed to only using it when referring to the rather excellent Joy Division track of the same name...

Anyway... this is Arnastapi in Iceland, on the wonderful Snaefellsness Peninsula.

A fresh covering of snow had left this scene looking just glorious with enough rock detail coming through to break up the bright whites.

This was shot not long after sunrise with some lovely light falling over the fresh now and hitting the mountains and glacier to the rear, not the easiest of shots to get right to keep the snow bright white without any blown out details and retaining the sky detail / colour in full.

I think if you had the supplies to dig yourself in here for the duration you would be hard pushed to find a better location I think.

Following on from the last image and with a similar vibe of surreailty and 'other worldliness'...

This is Arnarstapi on the Snaefellsness peninsula in Iceland, I hadn't been here before and was simply blown away with it, talking of being blown away some of the winds on the trip made it actually impossible to stand up at times and on another day this shot would have been totally impossible as I was peched on quite a narrow area of cliff, thankfully there was hardly any wind this morning, I wouldn't have even gone looking had there been a gust about such is the unpredictability of the weather here you really can end up in big trouble so the utmost respect for the weather is paramount here everywhere you go.

With some nice movement in the clouds this was an unplanned break out of the 10 stop filter during sunrise to give a 472 second exposure, just adding to the whole surreal feel of the place, we stood up here for quite some time shooting and just washing the sea pound in onto the black rocks below, magic.

ARNARSTAPI is a village in the southern part of the Snaefellsnes peninsula, Iceland. The beach holds a particular attraction and its cliffs are absolutely amazing. The interplay of waves and the light of the sun creates a fascinating spectacle. Large colonies of the arctic tern also nest in the area.

Iceland, September 2015.

Revelation
Gatklettur
by Pete Rowbottom

A quite big title to live up to, but to me, this moment here truly was one of those, perched in one spot for about an hour just watching this whole scenario unfold before my eyes really felt very surreal, almost like I wasn't even there.

I've uploaded one before from this morning that was an extremely long exposure, somewhere in the region of about 7 or 8 minutes, I shot that after taking this one, and that time it took for the image to be created just allowed me to stand here take all this in without having to worry about the camera all the time, I could just stand there occasionally checking my watch (and that my ears were still there as they were that cold) and just watch what mother nature had decided to dish up this day, truly a hairs on the back of the neck standing up revelation moment....

Anyway this is a lot shorter exposure to capture the detail in the beautiful tidal rush as it passes through the intricate and snow laden basalt archway.

Brrrrrrrrrr!!!!
