A few days ago I returned from a photographic adventure in Iceland, in the company of my friend Alessandro Giacometti.
These days were so exciting as we could visit the most iconic locations but also the less famous ones.
Once arrived in the coast of Vik I headed to its famous cliffs. The wind blew hard causing the sea to create waves of several meters. Staying close to the coast was very dangerous.
Several photographers were already lined up to photograph the sea stacks. Only after a bit I finally found the composition I wanted, transforming the scene in a more dramatic way with the waves that hit us repeatedly.
Our AirBnB was only around the corner from this beach so we had ample opportunity to visit when we thought it was the optimum time. The first day of our three night stay the sky was a white out while the second day we had what we wanted: menacing looking clouds to 'compliment' those dangerous 'sneaker waves'.
Anyway, the clouds appeared just as we wanted them. The bleakness of this image may not be everyone's cup of tea but we class this as one of our favourite Iceland images.

Reynisfjara is widely considered one of the most beautiful beaches on earth (see for example Islands Magazine). This black pebble beach boasts an amazing cliff of regular basalt columns called Gardar, which resembles a rocky step pyramid and out in the sea are the spectaculary shaped basalt sea stacks Reynisdrangar. The area has rich birdlife, including puffins, fulmars and guillemots.
Vík í Mýrdal, Southern Region, Iceland
Iceland’s sparsely populated southern coast is full of natural wonders, including mountains, glaciers and volcanoes. Amidst these harsh environs is the small village of Vik, where the austere but beautiful church, Reyniskirkja, overlooks the 300 residents from a raised position – deliberately protected from lava flows and melt-water. Here, the red roof is juxtaposed with the lush green of the surrounding mountainsides, with inclement weather coming in from the wild Atlantic.

This is a composite photo made with seven shots. I used 6 shots with different exposure to take the church at night and to obtain an adequate exposure of the hardly illuminated building and the soil in the foreground and then I used a seventh shot taken two days before in another area of Iceland to add the northern lights.
I do not use to publish this kind of composite shots but in this case the result, in my opinion, is worth to be published. I hope you like it.
Fin de journée sur la plage de Vik ...
Les dieux du nord ont entendu nos prières et lâchent quelques couleurs.

Stormy clouds over Vik beach. They did brink some snow, but it was time for an early lunch anyway. Not long after that I got stuck in snow, so not the perfect start to Lofoten adventure!
I visited Iceland in September 2012 with the intention of making some long exposure images. I think my post processing skills have gradually improved since then so I visited the archives and found this unprocessed file.
Vík, the southernmost village in Iceland, lies directly beneath the Mýrdalsjökull glacier, which lies on top of Katla volcano. Katla has not erupted since 1918. Its present dormancy, one of the longest in its history, has led to speculation that an eruption may occur soon. An eruption could melt enough ice to trigger an enormous flash flood, some say large enough to obliterate the entire town. The town's church, located high on a hill, is believed to be the only building that would survive such a flood. Here's hoping the worst doesn't happen!
The cliffs of VIk are definitely an impressive feature to photograph, especially during the golden hour as it adds quite a lot to the texture.
I remember it was windy that day so we had to pretty much hide behind the cliff which is awesome because you get to sit there and admire the rock formations and well don't get sand in your face.
A fact about Vik is that it is considered to be the wettest place in Iceland.
Enjoy, have a great week-end!
I never get bored with this beach, although the weather is usually so extreme that I never stay long. This is a long exposure taken on Vik beach, along Iceland's Southern Coast.
