Our May Speaker is Marcia Brandes and the topic will be “Interior Highlands and South Coast of Iceland”!
Iceland is well known as a superior location for stunning photographs. Rather than going on the well traveled “Golden Circle”, this trip focused on the interior of Iceland, the Highlands, as well as the south coast. Much of the area is accessible only during the summer months, and only in a vehicle equipped with 4-wheel drive and a snorkel for fording rivers. The landscape is unlike any I have visited. The colors, topography, geologic features, and uninhabited wilderness make for jaw-dropping views. It is hard to stop taking pictures. This was a photo tour with 3 participants and a professional Icelandic photographer as guide. I couldn’t have gone to Iceland without also visiting the famed diamond beach and glacier lagoon, as well as many of the amazing waterfalls. I’m looking forward to sharing these lovely places with you.
What will we learn:
When and where to photograph in Iceland’s interior
When and where to photograph on the south coast as far east as Estrahorn Mt
What you need and can take for the best Icelandic experience
