I'm sure you've all seen the iconic white, orange, black, and blue shots of Deadvlei. Those shots are cool, but if you get there at dawn, when Deadvlei opens, the light builds creating a more subtle touch that has its own beauty. I hope you enjoy. 20230620DeadVleiTest32

This view was definitely one of my highlights from the trip. The day started off very grey and when we arrived at Skógafoss it was raining a bit. As I mentioned in my earlier description it was crowded by the waterfall itself, but the further we walked, the less other tourists we saw. Then suddenly the sun started to shine gently between the low clouds, and revealed all the beauty of the curvy and hilly landscape. The temperature also rose and in October, in Iceland we were able to take off our coats, sit on the hillside with a cup of coffee and just enjoy the scenery in front of us, with the sound of the flowing water to make it even more intense. The first few days were amazing, but sometimes it felt like being in a hurry. No wonder with all the things we wanted to see and our busy schedule, but this was maybe the first time where I sat down and thought: "wow, this is Iceland and this is why we do it!"
Thanks for having a look! All faves and comments are highly appreciated!

This tiny little tree sapling is waiting for warmer days to come. It was a chilly afternoon, about -15°C.
It was cold but I think it's worth going outside simply because of the great photo opportunities you get when it's really cold!

A picture taken from the car while we were running towards the home, the bottom where the asphalt could be seen, I cut it.
Thank you very much for your kind faves!
Meet Ella and Ethan in their debut, a pin's life, haha. Perhaps we will see them again on another new adventure. :)
After visiting Bruarfoss we continued our journey towards another well-known waterfall called Háifoss. I was hoping to be there around sunset, because the light in the valley can be amazing around there. We managed to be there half an hour before sunset, but the sun had already disappeared and it even started to rain a bit. Then suddenly the sky started to open again and a warm glow was getting visible on the horizon. Even some fog started to roll in and I quickly set up my tripod. It only lasted for 5 minutes or so, before the fog and the clouds completely blocked the last light. While I had hoped for more direct sunlight beforehand, it turns out that I like the soft glow just as much, because this also gives a lot of atmosphere. I used a wide angle for this classic shot and even though I think there’s a lot of depth in this photograph, standing on the edge of this cliff cannot be captured with a camera. Or not by me anyway, what a landscape…

What's better than a grass field, in the early morning light, for a case study on depth of field?
Lens: EF 100 f/2.8L IS macro (click to see all my photos with this lens)
1/250s f/2.8 100mm ISO 100
Processing: I used the full opening to get a beautiful bokeh and a narrow DoF, and I had to manually stack several shots of the flower with two butterflies, so that both of them be in focus.
I think this may be a female Essex skipper...but if I'm lucky Bob Eade www.flickr.com/photos/128888346@N02/ might correct me! Do check out his astonishingly beautiful butterflies and moths.
