High lands

 

 For those that may be tuning in for the first time, I am Joe shutter: a blogger and photographer based in Iceland.

I pass on what I learn out here through my  tailor-made photo workshops and tutorials. They can be as long or as short as my clients need them to be, and I always go the extra ten miles (or ten hours) to get the shots and get off the beaten track wherever possible. 

If you are interested in a photo workshop/tutorial in Iceland, pleas contact me through my email ( joeshutter101@gmail.com ) or through my Instagram handle @joe_shutter .

 

So there I was, minding my own business one polite afternoon, when I get a spontaneous message from an Instagrammer with whom I had recently been speaking, @bensimonehn. It went something like this: Lets go somewhere cool, alright then!

And off we went: Before we knew it, we are up in the highlands at near freezing temperatures (its supposed to be summer) and negotiating flash hail storms.  So in between car breaks when we put some life back into our extremities, we grabbed some shots until it got too dark. Here are the results of that escapade

Fun and Snow

It's well known that the weather in Iceland is unpredictable. This is a pain, some of the time. Other times, it yield lovely blankets of snow which last only a day or two. Whe I visited this exact location a week later, it was all gone.

This mine and Frank's second "test" day, and it was the day be fare we hit the road all the way around. 

So I (rather, we, or maybe just I) decided to bring out the inner lifestyle blogger and grab a selection of shots from this serene moment. I enlisted Frank's help for this.
