Stunning Sunset, Kirkjufell Mountain (Witches Hat), Iceland
JOIN ME on my Five Day Northern Lights Iceland Workshop
15th - 20th October 2020
melvinnicholsonphotography.co.uk/product-category/iceland...
Today is day five (Tues 21st March 2017) since I returned from Iceland but with the hustle and bustle of attending The Photography Show over the weekend in my role as a Haida filter Ambassador and also presenting a talk on the Fotospeed paper stand, it's only now that things have settled down a little and I have a few hours to reflect on the amazing sixteen days that I spent in Iceland (1st-16th March).
I have been looking through my images wondering which one to edit and it's so damn difficult when you have a hard drive full of amazing locations to choose from. However, I eventually settled on this seven image panorama stitch photograph of the utterly spellbinding Kirkjufell mountain and waterfalls.
I arrived at sunset and struggled to park in the car park below but eventually, I got parked and a few minutes later I set up while admiring this view. There are moments in a year that you remember at the end of the year and look back on with such fondness and inspiration and I strongly suspect that this scene will be one such memory that will linger for some time to come.
The colours in the sky lit up as the setting sun to the left of the mountain grew ever increasingly stronger. The colours of the pink sky on the right reflected in the ice below in the river and I vividly remember just standing there and looking left to right and back to left again thinking just how fortunate I am to be a professional landscape photographer and more so because a week later I would get the opportunity to enjoy the view too.
