Iceland 2015
From the land of the Vikings
The raw power of the Icelandic landscape is breathtaking. I took these shots in July 2015 when my family and I did an extended layover in Iceland.
We rented a car and drove around the “golden circle” and took a ton of photos. The ones I’m sharing here are shot with my Ricoh GRD, a fantastic travel camera with a fixed 28mm lens. It’s a camera that’s designed for landscapes and street photos.
You can take portraits with the Ricoh but I left that to my iPhone.
The most powerful thing about this little camera is that it can shoot raw, in the DNG format, which I like better than Canon’s CR format.
It creates razor-sharp images and fits into your pocket. When I travel for an extended time I carry two extra (and charged) batteries with me as well as the USB charging cable and an extra one or two SD cards.
Here are some of my favorite, reprocessed, shots of Iceland (taken from my Travel Diary album on Flickr).
If you didn’t know, Iceland is very active or geothermal stuff. Geysers, waterfalls, bubbling hot springs. You name a geological feature and I’m pretty…
