Iceland in Monochrome

I have at last finished a Gallery of images from our February visit to Iceland with 30 monochrome conversions. Here are a few of them - shown at smaller size than usual as they are pretty rough on the 'edges' - need tidying up or reprocessing in some cases before printing. Full gallery at www.pin-sharp.co.uk

Jokulsarlon Moonset and Sunrise

Final images from the Glacier lagoon and beach. Beautiful lighting to finish our stay in the area - just the journey back and Reykjavik day to follow!!

Sunset on Jokulsarlon Beach

Apologies for a superfluity of iceberg images (only a dawn session to go!). Also a monochrome image has crept in where adjusting the colour image proved very difficult. With the long exposures, the movement of the ice lumps in the surf added another element as they spun around.

Jokulsarlon Beach - My Iceberg

After photographing the dawn light over the lagoon, we went down onto the beach where all the icebergs are washed back to land after travelling from the lagoon to the sea. I walked along the top of the beach looking for a tall iceberg to shield the sun and get some backlighting. This was ' my iceberg' with wonderful colours and shape. I revisited him throughout the day until towards sunset it was washed out to sea again by the high tide. Different shutterspeeds and viewing from different angles to keep the sun behind the berg as long as possible. I am afraid there are more images from this beach to follow but it was our longest visited location.

Our First Jokulsarlon Dawn, Iceland

We spent a whole day at Jokusarlon Lagoon and beach and then revisited for an hour or so yesterday on our way back to Reykjavik so lots of photo opportunities. These are some from our first dawn at the lagoon. Apart from the wonderful colours and shapes of the ice and how it caught the light, there were also Seals playing in the water. The last image is a double in-camera exposure, attempting to combine movement of water and the sharpness of the ice. Fly home this evening but quite a few blog posts to follow to complete the set!!

Night Photography at Jokulsarlon Iceland

No aurora but the full moon provided wonderful lighting on the lake and mountains. Last time I visited here in 2008, the lake was full of icebergs but the southerly gales have blown them into another part of the lake.
