In February, I experienced Iceland through my camera lens while on a photography excursion with Iceland Photo Tours. In eight days, I learned bold, new photography techniques such as wave painting, long exposure and the use of graduated neutral density filters while immersing myself in Icelandic culture and the natural wonder of the country’s winterscapes, volcanic beaches, icebergs, glaciers, and northern lights. Our amazing instructors took care of every detail including transportation, accommodations, meals, plus they constantly monitored the weather and adjusted our schedule accordingly. They were knowledgeable and passionate about photography, photography equipment and about Iceland and provided guidance and suggestions that helped me capture some of the most stunning photographs in my portfolio. I returned with a wealth of information and ideas that I can use every day to photograph the world around me. If you are looking for ordinary hop-on-the-bus-and-stop-to-photograph-a statue instruction, then this workshop is not for you. But if you want to expand your worldview and your understanding of light, composition, visualization, creativity, and overall photography technique, then I highly recommend it. I cannot wait to travel with Iceland Photo Tours again.
