Landscape Photography - Southern Iceland

Took a 5 day photography trip to Iceland with my good friend, in October 2014. Given our limited time, we decided to just focus on southern Iceland, rather than try to complete the ring road around the island. The weather cooperated and we saw some amazing scenery. Iceland definitely surpassed expectations and I can't wait to come back!

Stunningly beautiful. That beach at 2min with dark sand, glass like ice, waves, sunset, just magical.

Curious about the exposure for Dyrholaey Rock. Was there a reason why you went with ISO 640?

[@brianjsue]

+andrewford80 I went w ISO 640 because I was using a Lee Filters Big Stopper. As you may already know it's a 10 stop filter, so it blocks a ton of light. ISO 640 let me still shoot at f/11 and avoid having to do a several minute exposure (brought it down to 30 sec). I used the Big Stopper, because I had envisioned making the water super smooth along with blurring the clouds.
