A winter photography workshop with a professional landscape photographer and a photo guide. The tour takes place in the south part of Iceland where you can find some of the most photogenic and famous photography locations in the country. In five days and four nights, you will be able to concentrate on improving your photography skills with the help of your landscape photography guide who will take you to all the best locations, some of them more than once. Your guide will help you improve your photography and video skills, learning and understanding your camera settings and giving you great tips and advice about compositions that you can practice in the field.
The photography locations on the South coast of Iceland start with a few waterfalls, Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss and Kvernufoss, and from there visiting Dyrhólaey peninsula with a great view to Reynisdrangar sea stacks and Reynisfjara black sand beach. From the small village of Vík we head east, exploring many well-known locations like Hjörleifshöfði, Eldhraun, Fjaðrárgljúfur, Lómagnúpur and Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon. Jökulsárlón is known by most photographers in the world for its unique icebergs floating on the big glacier lagoon and the icebergs washing up on the beach in front of the lagoon. Vestrahorn mountain at Stokksnes and Eystrahorn mountain are among the iconic mountains in Iceland, great photo opportunities any day of the year. A part of this workshop is an early morning visit with a local glacier guide to the Ice-caves in Breiðamerkurjökull glacier which are unique to photograph.
On the way back from Jökulsárlón on day four we visit a couple of other glaciers, Fjallsárlón glacier lagoon which is less crowded than Jökulsárlón and Svínafellsjökull glacier where you can get close to the glacial ice. The last day is visiting the Golden Circle, Gullfoss waterfall, Geysir geothermal area with the famous Strokkur geyser and Thingvellir National park.
Northern lights hunting is a regular part of the workshop every night of the tour, depending on the weather conditions of course and the aurora activity.
