Iceland: Abstract

This is a shot of the end of the Skaftafell Glacier reflected in its pool. This shot won the Director's Prize at the Hidden Beauty Photography Exhibit at Filoli.

The black sand beach near the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon is one of my favorite shooting locations. The variety of the light, ice, and ocean are endless. I have spent a full 6 days over two trips at this beach and would go back in a minute. This close up of one of the chunks of ice on the beach is interesting in that it shows the contrast of the finely weathered upper third against the lower two thirds sculpted by the water.

The waves had washed some sand and a rock into a depression in one of the blocks of beach ice. The tite says it all.
