After months of work (and procrastinating), I am proud to present my collection of images of Iceland. It was indeed a challenge to photograph the landscape of Iceland, mainly due to typical Icelandic weather.

Though temperatures remained relatively moderate (35–50° F), the wind, rain and snow of the Iceland springtime were a constant challenge. When the weather did clear however, we were presented with some of the most remarkable light I have ever witnessed. The golden light at sunrise and sunset lasted hours, rather than just a few minutes at lower latitudes. Near the end of our trip, we enjoyed 20 hours of daylight per day (when the sun chose to come out from behind the clouds).

Photography challenges aside, I was constantly astounded at the beauty and uncontaminated purity of Icelandic landscape. Icelanders are renown for their appreciation and care of their natural environment. This is evident in their mastery of renewable and ecologically friendly geothermal energy and in the country's numerous national parks and nature reserves.

I hope you enjoy my Iceland Landscape Photography Collection.
