My regular readers will have noticed that I am a big fan of shooting wide-angle landscape images and seldom use a telephoto lens other than for wildlife photography. I enjoy discovering patterns in nature with a medium telephoto lens, but I prefer to shoot grand and dramatic scenes. I also think that it is technically more challenging. This iceberg detail and reflection picture from Jokulsarlon is a notable recent exception. The blue color of the ice comes from the density of the ice absorbing all the colors of the spectrum, except blue which is reflected. Photographing blue ice is best in overcast conditions, of which I had plenty.
Nice photo Jon.
I feel cold just looking at it.
beautiful, Jon!
Nice, great mood, very abstract.
A beautiful shot Jon. You could look at this shot for a long time and get something new from each viewing! Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you all for your generous comments!
Hey Jon! This place looks awesome! comp beautifully conveys the pristine ice and purity of light. I do hope I have the chance of photographing Iceland one day.
