Images From Iceland, day 7 — wk 39

Last night I stayed at the hostel in Vagnasstaðir. The night was clear, and the Northern Lights made their appearance at about 10:30pm. I made a couple of images at the roadside, about 2kms from the hostel.

The display of lights were much more spectacular then the image from Laugarvatn.

After making these images, I returned to the hostel to help out some of the other guests who were attempting to make images of the northern lights. My settings were 400 iso, 30 seconds, f/5.6.

This morning, I headed out to Jokullsarlon for sunrise. The icebergs flow out of the lagoon to sea and are then washed up onto the beach. In this image, I positioned the camera so that the rising sun shines through the iceberg.

This afternoon, I headed in to Höfn to pick up some groceries. On the return trip, I spotted some Icelandic horses at the roadside. This white horse caught my attention.

As I moved around, I caught this image of the pony peeking over another horse.

Soon after, half a dozen cars had stopped by the roadside. Later, a tour bus arrived… that was the signal for me to leave!
