Hi,

I use B+W ND 110 (10 stops ND filter) for the long exposure on the day. I find it is an awesome filter to play with..
 

Wa, now I really want to go to Iceland... Should have gone when I was nearer...

Some general comments - the scenes are all very beautiful; but there is a tendency to have a lot of space - which works at times, but doesn't at times too. For example, the space is fine for me in #6 and #3 (barring the flare), but I don't quite like it in #4 and #5, as it seems that there are other options available that might work better.
 

agree so mouth watering now that we see the images

a reverse ND filter would have worked wonders too
 

Awesome work, my friend. Very well done. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
Love all the images. Looks like you got some great weather too. That rainbow shot is really cool...

Thank you for your comments and I will try to work on that.. ;)

Thank you for your advice! thanks.. actually the weather is kind of changing everyday.. one moment its cloudy and the next thing its sunny and keep going!
 

An awesome thread, pls share more!
 

Awesome solo Iceland trip! It was said winter has the best lighting for photography in Iceland.

Interesting itinerary you've got there. Just curious, why did you sign up for the Golden Circle & South Coast Tours which you could have easily undertake along your self-drive around the ring road?

Also my first thoughts when I saw the thread title was you must have gone for the earlier fantastic cheap promotion from Qatar Airway to Oslo until I read you mentioning CPH.

Your thread came at a good time just when my Iceland chapter is coming to a close soon, I'll never have enough of Iceland. Really looking forward to seeing more, thanks for sharing!

your thread is always inspiring man. hahaha the first 2 days I took the tours because I didnt really know what to expect like how road conditions are and how to drive on right-hand traffic. It's my first time driving on right-hand traffic also. After 2 days I feel comfortable then I rent the car :) Yes its one of the most beautiful place I've ever gone to. Thanks again for your advice!

fantastic world of wonders..thanks for sharing ;>

Thank you!

One of the most powerful waterfall in the world. Really amazed upon seeing it.
 

Camping here...

Love the aurora borealis in #1 and Faxi falls in #9. Faxi falls is really nice with the nice light against the backdrop of the cliffs and plains.
 

#22 Lake Myvatn

Stayed at Hotel Reykjahlid, and this is the view just outside the hotel..​
 

Beautiful; especially those with gray skies then flecks of colour shining through - simply magnificent :)
