WHAT to Photograph in WESTERN ICELAND?!

Video Description

Join me for an in-depth landscape photography adventure on the incredible Snæfellsnes Peninsula in Western Iceland, where I share the settings, compositions, and creative decisions behind capturing these iconic locations—plus two brand new ones! We'll explore the unique, cliff-spilling Selvallafoss waterfall and a hidden cascade where I'll demonstrate using the necessity of ultra-wide angles down to 10mm for capturing vast scenes. Learn my approach to shooting the challenging Kirkjufell and its reflections from a forced new viewpoint, and how to use light dynamics to transform a waterfall like Svöðufoss, even in harsh mid-day sun. Finally, I'll walk you through creatively framing the Búðir Black Church to manage crowds and using a 6-stop ND filter to capture a dramatic, rainbow-lit long exposure of the Arnarstapi Sea Stacks (2.5s exposure), offering technical tips for photographers looking to master composition and light in all conditions.
