'Refracted Glory'

Imagine walking alone on a pristine black sand beach as the sun starts to color the horizon. Then start to smile as the morning sunlight effervescently sparkles off of countless faceted chunks of ice sprawled on the shore.

Welcome to Iceland's well-named Diamond Beach. I spent a glorious but hectic half-hour there last month running between orbs of ice with my tripod looking like a crazed sandpiper...and had a blast!

This shot is a 5 stop HDR which allowed me to capture the wicked dynamic range without losing the wonderful lines of retreating surf.

Cheers!
