Iceland Trip Itinerary:
After flying into Keflavík International Airport we made our way to Seljalandsfoss Waterfall. You can walk completely around the base of the waterfall in the warmer summer months! Remember to wear rain gear (including a jacket, waterproof pants, and boots) as there will be a lot of mist in the air and you will be absolutely drenched without it if you decide to get up close to explore.
We continued on to the small town of Vik in the far south of Iceland where we rented this amazing AirBnB:

The next day we drove a couple of hours east to the glacier lagoon, Jökulsárlón, where we had booked an amphibious boat trip. If you are planning on going on a lagoon tour make sure to book your tickets early as they sell out weeks in advance!

On the ocean side of the lagoon lies the diamond beach, make sure to visit it before leaving the area! Here is some information on that (also, it's free!):

If you are following our trip and heading East around the southern part of the island, you would have passed the moss covered lava field of Eldhraun on your way to the Glacier Lagoon, but we decided to stop there on our way back to Vik after our morning adventures.

Such a great Edit... to say the least, I just went a binged the rest of your channel... Do you shoot most of the footage on a DSLR Gimbal?

[@FernwehChronicles]

Thanks +Hart and Col ❤️ And welcome to our channel! 🎉 To answer your question, I have used the GlideCam in the past and am currently using the Robin-S, but that being said I do not use it that often for reasons of convenience. More stuff to lug around, takes longer for setup, etc. and there is a lot one can do to get smooth shots with a steady hand, warp stabilizer and most importantly the in-sensor stabilizer on the GH5. Take this with a grain of salt as the Iceland footage has all been shot pretty much exclusively with the Ronin-S. 😜 I wanted a more flowy feel for this mini-series. There is going to be a bunch of iPhone footage in the coming up videos when getting into the hot springs etc. and for that I use the Osmo Mobile stabilizer and the Filmic Pro app to more closely match the rest of the footage. I hope that helps!

[@HartandCol]

The Fernweh Family yeah makes sense, they are fairly big, we don’t have one yet but I have one on our Xmas list

[@FernwehChronicles]

Definitely worth getting. Unintentional shaky footage just isn't as watchable unless you want it to be shaky to evoke a sense of adrenalin, in an action scene or something like that. One more tip, export your footage in 24 frames per second (23.976), for a more cinematic feel (also shoot in 24 when possible) and slow some of the b-roll footage shot in 60fps down to 24 (2.5x) this will mitigate a lot of shake, I use this all the time! 😀

[@HartandCol]

@@FernwehChronicles Thanks so much for all info, it all sounds pretty familiar I just need to implement it all now. I have tried doing voice overs a few time and can never get good audio quality. Do recored directly into premier or final cut or something else.

[@FernwehChronicles]

No problem! Yes, I record directly in Premiere Pro, I used to use Audition but with the new Essential Sounds panel, they have some good equalizer, reverb, etc. Do you use Premiere? If so I can share the preset I put together for my VO if you like, it's a good starting point. And for the mic, any of the Yeti mics do a good job, no need to go Rode just yet.

[@AdventureCalls]

So awesome. Drone masterclass. Cant wait for the next episode. Loved the music choices as well. Now get to work and edit the next one

Hi friend hope to visit morocco 😊😊

[@bellabraun9324]

Amazing sight! I have a question to your trip: Does the Diamond Beach look like that the whole year or only to a special season? When did you go there? And i've no clue what Liz is ecxited about could be german or english but for me it sounds like gibbly fish :) Danke für eure tollen Aufnahmen, sehr inspirierend :)

[@FernwehChronicles]

Danke! ❤️ The diamond beach spectacle can be seen all year around though in the winter seasons the majority of the beach will most likely be covered in snow, and you’ll have to bundle up a bit more to truly enjoy the ice shards. Stay warm out there!

[@subhojitsarkar3661]

Just awesome video and a great family. May I know at which time of the year did you visit Iceland? Because the weather seems preety good in your video.

[@FernwehChronicles]

We were there in August! There were a few rainy days but lots of sun too ☀️ Iceland is an incredible country! 😍

[@StephanSchramm8771]

Liv versteht Deutsch ... :-) Respekt!

Ja!

[@adzokenzi5399]

Do you use drone? I saw the video from above.

[@God1preciousjewel]

Nice video your guys. How many days would be enough time visit Iceland? I was thinking maybe 5days. 🤔.

[@FernwehChronicles]

It depends what you’re looking for, but I’d recommend at least 5 days if not a week if you want to make it out of Reykjavik and explore the countryside. I think we were there for 12 days.

[@God1preciousjewel]

Definitely to visit the countryside, it’s my favorite. Thank you and Happy New Year 2023🎊

[@mehrygoround]

would love to know what gear you use for filmmaking!

[@FernwehChronicles]

That one was shot in the GH5 and the Phantom 4 Pro. The newer ones have been shot on the BMPCC4K with a Mavic 2 Pro.

[@mehrygoround]

@@FernwehChronicles thank you

[@purvakirolikar17]

In which month did u visit??

[@FernwehChronicles]

That was in August, it was still pretty cold though with a high of 13 degrees Celsius, when are you planning on going there?

[@THARUx7300]

where did you get music

[@FernwehChronicles]

That’s all Artlist and Epidemic Sounds, they both affiliate links but I think Artlist gives both of us two extra month if you decide to sign up through the link below and Epidemic Sounds gives you a 30 day free trial and some kickback on my end.

Hi, Is Tara indian?

[@FernwehChronicles]

No she is not BUT we are fully aware of her name’s Sanskrit roots and actually have some Indian and Nepali adventures under our belts that have inspired our son’s name which is Bodhi and our dog’s name (he makes an appearance in the Colorado Road Trip video) which is Nandi, which is also the name of our Royal Enfield Bullet which is currently parked just outside Darjeeling. 👍🏻
