Join me on an Iceland Photo Tour as we explore the rugged beauty and natural wonder of this amazing island paradise, Iceland.
On this educational iceland photography tour we will take you from the beautiful capital city of Reykjavík to the volcanic Snæfellsjökull National Park, see a different view on a sailing tour in Western Iceland, witness the glacier lagoon of Jökulsárlón and much, much more. Iceland is known for its multitude of incredible waterfalls and we will explore and photograph many of them throughout the tour.
September offers long 15 hour days, giving us plenty of daylight to capture Iceland’s wild and diverse landscapes. This time of year the waterfalls are still flowing strong and, if we’re lucky, we may have the chance to see some amazing solar storm activity (a.k.a. Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights) September is statistically the 3rd best month for solar activity around the world. Though we can’t promise to have the right conditions for photographing the Aurora Borealis, we will be tracking the daily solar activity and weather conditions so we can be prepared to take full advantage if the Aurora forecast seems promising.
You will be given hands-on group and individual photo education throughout the duration of the iceland photo tour. For those interested in post-processing instruction, we suggest you bring a laptop.
