Iceland

ICELAND LANDSCAPE IMAGES

​

Iceland is best known for its otherworldly beauty, with incredible landscapes of extreme contrasts. No matter what sites you behold on your holiday, you will be grateful for having a camera on hand to enshrine your memories of what you encounter.​

​

The ever-changing weather in Iceland is part of what makes photographing it so special. The locals have a saying that ‘if you don’t like the weather in Iceland, wait five minutes’, and the same can be said for the photographic conditions.

In one moment, you may be capturing a feature beneath a dark sky, making the subject ominous and imposing, whereas, in the next, it may be basking in the sun, looking magnificent and inviting.

​

Iceland’s photography is also diversified by its seasonal changes. The term ‘golden hour’ refers to the times around sunrise and sunset, where the lighting conditions are optimal for pictures; in Iceland, however, this ‘hour’ can be much longer.

​

In midwinter, the sun barely creeps over the horizon, meaning every hour of daylight is ‘golden’. Meanwhile, in midsummer, the sun does not completely set, meaning this time extends all throughout the night.
