Clash of the tripods - a photo on Flickriver

            So I am back from my first visit to Iceland. It didn't disappoint, I just can't put it into words how epic it was.

I was very lucky with the conditions, more on that to come.

Thank you very much to Dom for his excellent planning advice. As the trip was for 5 days, I decided it was best to concentrate on one area so we based ourselves mainly in the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. This was the right choice as there was still lots of snow and one morning we woke up to a fresh covering. 

This view of Kurkjufell is obviously a complete honey pot location for good reason. I had a couple of attempts at it in different light. I realise my 24-105 lens isn't quite wide angled enough so quite a tight composition here. I did take a couple of panos but my poorly computer can't cope with merging them.

I had to vie for space between many other tripods, it does get very crowded and the path down was absolutely treacherous!

I need to get my computer looked at but lots more to come!
