As I keep going through my hard drives searching for pictures that are buried deep within them and almost forgotten, I came across this one. I don't remember all the details about why we stopped at this particular spot while driving around Iceland, but looking back, I'm glad I did. I remember that it rained most of the day and probably stopped there to stretch our legs for a little bit. Since our time is limited when we travel, I always take my camera with me looking for any sort of interesting subjects to snap a pic. I went with a long exposure to sort of take advantage of all the mist and fog and give it some character. I think it came out good. What do you think? In this slow return to photography I have decided not only to take photos of nature, but I also want to try other styles. With this in mind, I decided to attend my first airshow. I confess that I had never encouraged myself to go to one of these events and I don't know specifically the reasons for not having done it before. Shooting aircraft in flight is not as easy as one might think. There are many technical aspects to learn and master in order to achieve impressive photos. So I decided to do some research on the subject and watched countless videos on You Tube to get a solid foundation and prepare for the big day. I confess that I took a lot of photos and as expected, the vast majority of them did not turn out as expected. I definitely have a lot to learn about this new form of photography. At least I was able to capture several that were more or less decent and I share one of them below. I hope you enjoy it. F-22 Raptor Taking Off For The SkiesOn our trip to Iceland we had the opportunity to go around this beautiful country. During our journey we stopped at Akureyri. This city is known as the Capital of Northern Iceland. It is a place full of beauty. Reflection in AkureyriToday I bring you an extremely beautiful place located right next to the road, Siete Chorros. This waterfall is defined by having seven different waterfalls, hence its particular name. Great place to spend a family day and calm the heat. Waterfall Dreams - Siete ChorrosThis photo was a consolation prize as I expected to be able to portray this emblematic place accompanied by the lights of the Aurora Borealis. The forecast for them was favorable but mother nature decided that it would not happen. Anyway, it is a place worth admiring and its beauty is everywhere. Enjoy!! Hallgrimskirkja Church |
