Great to see you back in Iceland! Love the ice cave images. Those diamond beach ice berg photos were abit different from your passed ones! Keep up the good work Brendan 📸❤️
I were in that same cave probably about 4 months before your visit. Got one of my favourite photo with the river and a moment of sunshine. Also on that beach a tourist died on sneaker wave couple days after my trip. Saw it on the news. Years before I got sneaker wave but I only sunk to the beach on my knees and got away with my camera...
Sometimes the best photos of ice involve feeling a little bit of ice inside your boots to get the true feeling! I've really enjoyed your latest Iceland series!
Ford F4 Billion, nice👍🤣 Those ice cave close-up images are cool 👍😎Way to stay positive "At least it's not raining"🤣🤣🤣 The lens lends well to your images👍👍 always great BvS quotes💭
Great video, Brendan - it made me pine for my favourite place on earth. I heard a rumour that the Black Sand Beach at Vik may soon be closed to visitors ... too many drownings. Last June I attempted some slow shots of the sea stacks (9:08 in your video) .. but was absolutely blasted by the wind and sand, with no chance of keeping the tripod still (my wife thought/thinks I'm nuts. Ha ha!). Somehow, we never get to Diamond Beach during our winter trips to Iceland ... will there be any ice in September?
Hi John, I think it's just a rumour. I can't imagine they'll close it. As for ice at Diamond beach. Yes, it's there year round. Sometimes it gets a bit clogged in the lagoon or blown away by winds and currents, but it's almost always there.
Funny enough after saying Sony was not able to capture blue color properly in the caves, the very next scene on the beach had the opposite problem. The scenes shot with the canon looked WAY too blue and over-saturated, while the Sony ones looked much more natural.
@@GregSheard The comment about Sony and colours was pretty pointless lol. Just another entry in the ongoing Sony vs Canon argument. But it's his channel...so what are you gonna do. Better that he focuses on fixing those user errors lol
He looked like dead in the next scene. No wonder it was blue in the cave when you push the white balance like that. The footage of the sony looks so much better.
In and around the ice lagoon is really great. But i missed this cave. Diamond beach is very beautiful and great for detail shots. Also, I learned the first thing about sea scape photography. Cut of by the tide 😮
In 2017, the sea got me even though I was being the careful one in the group. It snapped my Gitzo tripod in half and claimed my camera and lens. I had so much black sand in my clothes that they were all put in the trash. I was a good 50 feet from shore break.
Brendan I agree with you on the sony color issues no matter what I did with my sony a7iii I could never get the colors correct in camera. They were close but never quite 100% its the reason I switched back to nikon.
It's a sony problem. And to be honest, they've improved it a lot since the A7ii. It used to be horrible. Their colour science has always been a bit off when it comes to blue. Using a good white balance and colour grading can definitely help and get you close, but it's way more work
