Kirkjufell mountain in the west of Iceland was already said to be the most photographed landmark in Iceland – I’d say that’s certainly undoubtedly the case now, since it made a cameo in Game of Thrones. While the mountain is easy to reach by car, there are few things to know beforehand in order to capture the true majesty of the mountain.

Proper preparation will increase the likelihood of not just getting photos of the NorthernLlights but increase the likelihood of getting great photos.

This is the SS Maheno was an ocean liner that was later used as a hospital ship in World War I. A cyclone caused the shipwreck, as it washed ashore on 75 Mile Beach on the east coast of Fraser Island.

Whitehaven Beach is located on the Whitsunday Islands off the coast of Queensland. The clear turquoise water and pure white silica sand make the beach stand out in a country full of beautiful beaches.

Mona Vale Beach and Ocean Pool has two distinct advantages: Firstly, it is a gorgeous spot and; second, it is quite a ways outside of Sydney and is one of the quieter beaches to visit.

The Exa Ia is a 35mm, mechanical SLR analog camera with both an eye-level prism viewfinder and alternatively a waist-level collapsible viewfinder. It supports lenses made for the EXA-bayonet fitting.

The Fujifilm X-Pro2 has some nifty, unique features. From the optical viewfinder to the combination ISO and Shutter Speed dial, this camera is both fun and functional.

Segla otherwise known as the Sail of Senja Island is a very identifiable mountain on the northern part of Senja Island in Norway.

In April 2018 I spent two weeks more or less by myself photographing the Lofoten Islands in Norway. Granted, Spring is an odd time to visit.

Like most hotspots on the Lofoten, Kvalvika Beach is not exactly a breeze to get to, having said that the double beach is arguably the most spectacular, so it’s worth the hike – check out a short video and a photographs of Kvalvika Beach.

Nestled between Haukland and Uttakleiv Beaches, Mannen is a challenging climb with great reward: click the link to check out some more views from Mannen Mountain.

Don’t let the comparative ease of this hike fool you, Hoven offers one of the best panoramas on all of the Lofoten Islands. Click to watch a 360° view of the Hoven summit.

Bunes Beach, along with Kvalvika and Horseid Beaches, belong to the main attractions on the Lofoten Islands. Bunes Beach is harder to reach and will require taking a ferry from Reine to Vindstad, from there it is a manageable trek along the fjord.

The small fishing village on the island of Moskenesøya, Hamnøy is the quintessential Lofoten spot replete with Rorbuer, mirror-like water and a beautiful mountain backdrop. Follow the link to see more of Hamnøy.

The art installation “Skalar – Reflections on Light and Sound” ran from the 27th of January to the 25th of February in Kraftwerk Berlin. Light artist Christopher Bauder and musician Kangding Ray truly tailored an amazing immersive experience to the former power station.

The ‘Lost in Amsterdam’ title image is somewhat fitting, as I often got a bit turned around in a light, slightly-panicked jog, trying to catch what colour the faint sunlight could provide. I needn’t have worried, it’s not as if Amsterdam shuts up shop and goes dark in the evening. 

Switching from the outdoor to the urban landscape and finding a new perspective with double exposures. 

The Snæfellsnes peninsula is on the western part of the island of Iceland, and boasts Kirkjufell (literally Church Mountain) and some lesser known gems like Skarðsvík Beach.

Reykjavik is northernmost capital in the world, however due to its “sub-polar oceanic climate” it is only the fifth coldest capital, on average. Walking around the city you wouldn’t guess you’re so far north, the city is colorful and the people are so warm you might think you’re closer to the equator than the arctic. 

The Gjáin valley is like many other attractions in Iceland, things look quite barren and uninteresting and as seemingly out of nowhere a spectacular canyon or valley appears.
