Hiding Under Fjalljokull

Standing in an ice-cave as large as this one is one of the most amazing views I have ever had. Like I have said, the play on light coming though the glass-like walls and roof is simply a sight to behold.

What do you do when you see a river flowing under millions of tonnes of ice? You attempt a panorama while standing in the river of fast flowing water course! I was not 100% happy with the reflections and shape of the roof, so I got the shot above which I like much more. What do you think… which is your preferred viewpoint?

Getting Cold in Myvatn

Sometimes you have to go that little bit further to get the shot you want… It was a little cold getting this shot so didn’t hang around too long in this position.

Taken in Mývatn around where they shoot some of the hit TV series ‘Game of Thrones’.  Another stunning area to put on the must see list when you visit Iceland.

Hvítserkur

The troll Hvítserkur, forever frozen in time.

Legend is that the rock formation is a troll that was caught by sunrise and turned to stone.  The formation is also known as Dinosaur Rock, and located in Northern Iceland.

I don’t normally do a lot of B&W landscapes, but this one just works for me.

Goðafoss Godafoss - Waterfall of the Gods

A few posts back, I showed you a peek from Behind The Lens at Goðafoss – Waterfall of the Gods. This is the image that I was taking of this amazing waterfall in the Mývatn district, Northern Iceland.

Goðafoss or Godafoss was named after Christianity became the official religion of Iceland around the year 1000, and the lawspeaker Þorgeir Ljósvetningagoði, threw statues of the Norse Gods into the waterfall.

Niyama Resort Maldives Beach

Ok – so I haven’t exactly been regularly posting for a long time now due to a number of factors… but I’m back baby!

Finally I have rebuilt my desktop computer with what should be enough power to loom over a small pacific nation. New hardware, new operating system, and now one of those Adobe Creative Cloud people too… everything is so fresh and shiny and has that new car smell to it.

While having new stuff is always fun… what I am really looking forward to is going back through all the photos I have just been storing for the last 18 months or more, and finding what hidden gems I have. I know there are some rather large panoramas sitting on my hard drive that I can’t wait to see.

Oh… and of course Summer is coming. Very much looking forward to serious catch up time with some sun, surf and sand.

Face Off

Coming face to face with a beautiful Whale Shark is certainly not an experience that I will forget in a hurry despite all the trouble I had with my underwater camera housing on this day.

It was one of the first times I had used the housing and not having the camera set up correctly before dropping it into the housing limits very much what you can change – lesson learned. Lets just put it down to an inexperienced operator error.

This Time Last Year… Things Were Different.

I was finally here! Far from fresh after what seemed like an eternity of flights, bus trips and taxi rides I had just landed at the start of making my way across Asia.

Downtown Delhi. It seemed somewhat appropriate to be visiting India Gate. As the traffic zoomed past I spotted a gap and ran to the centre of the road to snap a quick photo. Somehow I avoided being run over… but it was only early.

Now, most exploring days usually end up a little random if we are honest but they are the best days. This was going to be a day to get my bearings and recover from my flights. I had started with just going for a leisurely walk with a few things in mind that I’d like to see, but experienced a hell of a lot more. Before I knew it, I found myself in the back of a tuk-tuk zooming around the streets… The sights, sounds and smells of India really need to be experienced first hand.

Now previous to this I had spent a fair bit of time in other parts of Asia, but even within 24 hours I was thinking what the hell had I gotten myself into.
