8 Tips for Landscape Photography in Iceland | Best Travel tips for Iceland
Iceland is a dream destination for most landscape photographers. Together with Andrew Dawes, I share our best tips for improving your landscape photography experience in Iceland, to help you get the most out of your next photography trip.
Check out Andrew's Channel -
We did a video together about taking Drones to Iceland -
1. Know where you are going - It's important to maximise your time while you are there. To do that I recommend a map called International Photographer of Iceland.
2. Work out what the weather is doing - One of the biggest elements that will impact how successful your trip is will be the weather. I used an app called Vedur for iOS.
3. Build flexibility in your plan - Hire a motorhome so you’re not restricted to check in and check out times that could mess with your landscape photography plans.
4. Optimise your shooting time - During summer the days are long and the nights are short and don’t get completely dark. The best time to shoot with the best light was between 10:30pm and 2:00am during which time included the sunset and sunrise.
5. Consider your Lenses - Think about the sorts of landscapes you want to capture. I took my 17-35mm, 24-70mm and 70-200mm lenses. If I could only take 2 lenses, I probably leave the 17-35mm lens home.
6. Avoid crowds - Generally, you’ll encounter fewer people in Iceland during winter, however, the weather is more extreme. During summer when the weather is likely to be more pleasant, many locations can be packed with tourists. Scout your locations out during the day but return at night. Find locations that are off the main ring road.
7. Be prepared for bad weather - During winter the weather in Iceland can get fairly intense, so make sure you’re prepared. Even in summer, it can get very cold, and it important if you are going to spend hours at night shooting that you are warm dry and comfortable, so sure you have gloves, beanies and plenty of layers.
8. Get into the high country with a 4WD - While there are lots of locations in easy reach of the main ring road around Iceland, they will be popular. To make the most of your visit, consider getting access to a 4WD (even for part of your time there) so you can access some of the spectacular and unique locations the high country has to offer.

ICELAND Travel and Photography Guide
In this travel and photography guide video, I will show you where and what to see in Iceland. I do so by showing my way to approach different locations in Iceland. I take them one by one in geographical order clockwise around the island. I will stress that this is NOT how you're supposed to do it. This is simply how I would approach Iceland. You are still the sole creator of your tour to Iceland and you have to design your tour with what you want to accomplish in mind.

Landscape Photography in Iceland | Unique Compositions in a Photographer's Dream Location
In this landscape photography vlog, I fulfilled a dream and travel to one of the most photographed countries in the world. Ever since I started my landscape photography journey, I wanted to go visit Iceland to witness first hand the epic landscapes and waterfalls this country has to offer.
I leave the beautiful landscapes of the UK behind, and fly to Reykjavík where I pick up my rental motorhome that will be my accomodation for the week, more about that later. I drive north to Snæfellsjökull, and spend the day visiting the Black Church and bird covered coastlines and exploring amazing waterfalls that are just a short walking distance from parks along the main road.
I arrived at, Kirkjufell Mountain and the gorgeous Kirkjufellsfoss. It was around 8:00pm so there were still plenty of photographers around. I explored the place for a couple of hours as well as the nearby town of Grundarfjörður, until the sun started to set and I had the place to myself.
This is a well photographed location and while it was nice to capture my own image of the iconic shot this place is famous for, I wanted to also find other more unique compositions that showcased this stunning scene. I used the waterfall and river as foreground interest with Kirkjufell Mountain in the background. Increasing my f-stop so I can achieve a slow enough shutter speed to capture the movement of the water. That drama in the foreground providing really interest leading the eye into this dynamic scene.
Before I left, I moved into a position where Kirkjufell Mountain was directly behind the lake. With the wind calming down the lake was very still providing a wonderful mirror effect, catching the reflect of the mountain, the sky and the colour in the clouds.

Iconic Photography Locations in Iceland
There are so many photography locations in Iceland. These are some of the most iconic spots for landscape photography.
Photo contest:
Instagram:
It's day 4 of our Iceland photography workshop and things have been going really well. We've already photographed some really beautiful locations in the west of the country. Today, we've moved to the south where there are some of the most iconic photography locations in Iceland.
We started off with Seljalandsfosss which is one of my favourite waterfalls in Iceland for landscape photography. There are some classic images made from this location. But, today I worked to find a new image. I think I was pretty successful.
Then, we headed to Skogafoss and the secret waterfall. Again, I think the whole photography workshop group did really well. And, I even managed to push the shutter on a couple Images.
Finally, we headed to Vik beach which is a beautiful place for sunset. Again, it was the perfect photography location in Iceland to end the day.
Tomorrow, there will be another vlog from Iceland!

3 Things I Learned on my Photography Trip to Iceland
My photography trip to Iceland is over and I'm heading home. Here are 3 things I learned.
Check out Ivan and me on Instagram at @IvanThorPhoto and @Brendanvanson
See Gareth ( and Steve ( for more Iceland coverage soon.
Photography online back up:
It's my last Iceland Vlog as Jeff and I are dropping people off at the airport and ending this photography trip.
The Photography trip to Iceland has been amazing. And, all the participants have been incredible.
I learned a lot on this photo trip, too. Yes, I was the guide and instructor, but I think that no matter your position you should always be seeking to grow and learn. This trip was no different.
The three things I learned in Iceland were:
1) Photographers who want to sell their images can't shoot the same locations everyone else does. If you shoot photography at the iconic places only, it's hard to sell the files as there's so much competition. Find new places to shoot.
2) The big difference between making it as a pro photographer and not is finding the time to shoot. You really need to dive in and commit if you want to be a professional photographer.
3) I've been lucky in so many ways. I've never had broken camera gear. I've never lost files. And, I've been pretty careless. So, I need to get better at protecting my gear.
This is the last Iceland Vlog, and I do head back to England at the end of this episode.
The next photography vlog will be from back here in England. So, I hope you stay tuned to the channel for those episodes.
Windy Landscape Photography in Iceland & Iceland Print Giveaway
It was a windy day in Iceland, but we still managed landscape photography at the glacier lagoon.
The Giveaways:
Instagram:
Day 6 in Iceland turned out to be a windy adventure. There was lots of landscape photography, but honestly we were quite worried that we wouldn't get any photography in at all because of the weather. But, the landscape photography gods were on our side in Iceland today.
We started the day by driving towards the glacier lagoon. Along the way, we stopped near the road for some pretty epic light. It really was the perfect conditions for landscape photography in Iceland. There was no wind, and the sky just lit up.
Then, in the afternoon things turn a turn for the windy. The winds reached 80 miles per hour and we were out trying to take pictures. The light was pretty epic too. But, it was almost a case where the wind made it too rough to take pictures. Still, we had lots of fun.
And, there'll be more landscape photography tomorrow.

WHAT TO SEE in North-East ICELAND for Landscape Photography
What to see in the north-east of Iceland? This area of Iceland is one of the least visited parts for landscape photography. It's far from Reykjavik and far between locations, but these locations can deliver some stunning photos! In this video, I visit not just one, two, or three locations but four! Despite less than optimal conditions, they all delivered some amazing photos I'm very happy about. Hnjótafjall, Husavik, Skinnalon and the Arctic Henge are all locations I'd return to for landscape photography! Parts of this video also cover the Diamond circle.

More Travel Photography in Iceland | Waterfalls and Icelandic Horses
More travel photography in Iceland was the game today on day 5 of our photography workshop here. This vlog involves some reflections, waterfalls, and Icelandic horses.
For Ivan's Iceland photography, check out @Ivanthor on IG. And for my travel photography from around the world, I'm @brendanvanson.
It's Day 5 of our travel photography workshop in Iceland. And, we were up for sunrise to shoot today. In fact, we headed to Kirkjufellsfoss which was the same location as sunset yesterday. However, instead of shooting the waterfall, I headed over with some participants to photograph the reflection of Kirkjufell in the inlet. It came out quite pretty.
Photography in Iceland is always such a pleasure, and this morning was no different. The light wasn't amazing, but the locations were incredible. I got about 4 photos around that location I'm happy with and then we moved on towards the South of Iceland.
Our photography tour in Iceland moved on later in the morning to þingvellir National Park. It's such a cool place. There are waterfalls, canyons, and cool little churches. It was a fun place to shoot some photos.
In the evening we didn't have a photography location for sunset. So, we kind of just winged it, and I'm glad I did.
We found Icelandic horses near a fence at a point and grabbed some shots of them with the light really beautiful in the background. It was a lot of fun. Icelandic horses are just so photogenic. They always make for good photos.
Tomorrow, the photography tour in Iceland continues. We're headed to some of the most iconic photography locations in the country. It should be lots of fun.
So, stay tuned to the photography channel for more.
Landscape Photography in Iceland | Timing the Exposure for a Seascape Image at Vik, Black Beach
In this landscape photography vlog, I drive east of Reykjavik to Vik the South most town of Iceland. I head down to the famous Black Sand Beach and explore the drama coastline for a composition that utilises the contrast of the white breaking waves and the dark black rocks as a leading line
The line of the cliffs served as another line for the viewer that directed their eye to the main focus of the image, the epic rocks off the coast.
The sky was cloudy and the mist started the rollin off the cliffs, this was create a wonderful mood to the image that wanted to capture. I used a 0.9 ND Grad filter to darken down the sky with let men lift the foreground to capture the detail on the black beach.
The photography at Vik was amazing, but I also enjoyed flying the drone over the breaking waves to captures a unique perspective of the landscape.

Landscape Photography at Kirkjufellsfoss - Iceland Photography Vlog
Some landscape photography at Kirkjufellsfoss and a couple other Iceland photography locations today on the vlog.
Instagram:
My Camera Gear:
Iceland is obviously a landscape photographer's playground. There are just so many incredible locations. But, above all locations I think that Kirkjufellsfoss is probably the most iconic Iceland photography location. And, on today's vlog, Kirkjufellsfoss was our main goal.
Of course, since it's Iceland, it wasn't our only landscape photography location. We also made a stop for a sunrise near a village where there are some pretty epic seascapes and some interesting mountains.
We really lucked out with our weather for the landscape photography as well. It was just beautiful the entire day.
In the evening, we went out looking for Northern Lights at Kirkjufellsfoss. And, for a minute or two, they did pop up. We got some cool images of it all. I'm very happy with how today went here in Iceland.
Tomorrow, there will be another Iceland photography vlog.

The Real Ring Road Tour of Iceland (Landscape photography in Iceland)
Landscape photography in Iceland is a beautiful thing to do . but the ring road is a hard and crazy road to drive . in the next few videos you'll see my 1600KM in four days Journey around Iceland
The high and low the good and bad I head from the airport to my first stop, Seljalandsfoss.
A little further to the west you can find several other waterfalls. Among them is the interesting Gljufrabui, partially hidden within its own canyon. If you drive a little further east you will spot a sign saying Paradisarhellir, which will lead you to a small cave in the steep hill side.
If you drive east from Reykjavik, following Road 1, that will eventually lead you to Seljalandsfoss Waterfall. It is about 2 hours’ drive from Reykjavik and you can see the waterfall from the road. You’ll find the access to the waterfall is from the farm of Seljaland along the Ring Road, Iceland’s main highway.
Seljalandsfoss waterfall along Iceland’s southern coast is fed by melting water from the famed glacier-capped Eyjafjallajokull volcano. This powerful waterfall cascades into a pretty meadow. However, the path that runs behind the curtain of water is the main attraction. There you can enjoy a truly unique viewpoint of the waterfall.
If you intend to walk behind the waterfall, you will get wet. so ware good rain coat. have some good and sturdy shoes. It can get slippy under the waterfall.
