Iceland

A stunning set Bill - difficult to pick a favourite as they are all so good. A great eye for a different take on things!

My thoughts too, wonderful images, ICM, double exposure and "normal" kind of drawn to No 6 though, seems to speak Iceland with a creative twist!

Lovely set! Very nice

No.6 for me is extra special

Excellent work Bill. Love the "diamonds"

Super stuff... Well done. Maybe unlucky but I really like 13....

Thanks all for taking the time and trouble to comment on these... very much appreciated... a short but magic trip...

Tim, I think we might have done similar trips... I basically headed straight out to Skaftafell and tried to work my way back as slowly as I could: 1-6 are Jokulsarlon (obvs), 7 is Svartifoss, 8 is a waterfall whose name I still don't know, 9, 12, 13, 15 Reynifsjara Beach (which I visited in part because I remembered your own excellent photos from round there a couple of years back), 10 is Vik, 11 is Skogafoss, and 14 is Gljufrabui (near Seljalandsfoss)...

I originally went out 15 years ago with a spare week I had at the end of September to do the trek from Landmannalauger to Thorsmork, but couldn't get out to it (buses had stopped running, didn't have enough money to hire 4WD), so ended up doing the shorter trek from Skogafoss over to Thorsmork (in pretty hairy weather mind), and then the trails round Myvatn and Hekla... so the vast majority of places that I went to this time were places that I'd heard a lot about but couldn't get to last time around...

I'll definitely be going back at some point... probably north... so so much to see...

Thanks again all

Best

I'm a bit late to the party, enjoyed viewing and can't add any more comments to what has already been said.

#13 is my favourite, conveys the loneliness, isolation of Iceland.

Like others have said its difficult to pick an outright favourite mainly because of the overall excellence of the set and the differing styles involved ranging from ICM to pure landscapes. I've been through them several times and each time I've found a new favourite but two really appeal to me and they are #5 and #6 which look like jewels set in a strange landscape. They all have your trademark quality Bill and I doubt if any regulars on here would fail to identify the author if they were published anonymously.

Have to say I agree, I have also returned to it a number of times, fascinating set

So beautiful! All of them. Absolutely delightful.

Sorry, no criticism.

Superb set of photos, really great stuff

Really enjoyed looking at these shots. Different from the norm. Looks like it was a great trip !

Thanks all... Much appreciated...

Firstly Bill, please accept my apologies for being so slow to comment on this set, I have as usual not had much time on the site lately, my life must be too full!!

Secondly, can I just say what an incredibly beautiful and inspiring set of images you have produced. I think I can say without any doubt this is the best set I have ever seen on the PU Forum. They demonstrate a mastery of the art which is rare indeed, not just of the processes of taking a technically correct image, but of the artistic elements to compose the shots, choose just the right shutter speed /aperture combination and to process them in a the most subtle and considered way to bring out the elements that make the shot stand out.

I too am not going to choose a favourite, but similar to Gareth, number 6 strikes me as particularly inspiring.

Thanks for posting this, I will return to view these many times I suspect.

Hi David

Thanks very much for kind words... very good of you... you've always got a chance when there's some belting raw material, and Iceland really is full of it...

Thanks and best
