Iceland Trip Video

Thu, 20 Sep 2012 00:00:00 -0500

I had a great time in Iceland recently with friends Steve, Dennys and Layne. Dennys made this very cool video from our trip. He brought his whole video rig along and did some great work. I really like how he cut in the driving segments and gave this a real “road trip” feel (we did drive 1,200 miles after all!). This will be a wonderful way to remember the trip. A recap blog post on the trip is in the works for this weekend.

Add Iceland video from Dennys.

We tried waiting out the rain yesterday to shoot the Vatnajökull glacier. The rain won.

Waves crashing onto the shore in Iceland. Play the audio while you look at the pictures. The tinkling sound in the audio is all of the pebbles on the beach being thrown in the waves.

Iceland Road with Sheep

Djúpavík Herring Factory

Sun, 02 Sep 2012 01:00:00 -0500

We decided to explore the Northern reaches of Iceland and drove to Djúpavík. Djúpavík is home to a deserted Herring factory that has been closed since 1954. The factory has been sitting abandoned with much of the original equipment left in place. The factory was dark with bright shafts of light coming through sparse windows and cracks.

Photographically the entire scene struck me as a perfect opportunity for HDR photography.
