What's this trip about?

    There’s not a lot you can say that will do justice to Iceland as a natural spectacle. Luckily there are plenty of pictures to whet your appetite for photography below! To truly appreciate the incredible landscapes, epic waterfalls, mystical northern lights and glacial wonders, your best bet is to hop on a plane and come on over... The autumn months are the perfect time to do exactly that. Being a period of natural transition, October brings with it a series of changing forms, lights and colors, in a last hurrah before the coming winter. It’s true that by this time of year the days are growing fairly short, but it’s also around October that the wondrous northern lights begin to show themselves, so that’s something of an upside.

Itinerary

Day 1 - Arrival

On day one you will land at Keflavik international airport, before catching the comfortable FlyBus to your hotel in central Reykjavík. You’ll meet you in the evening in the lobby of your hotel, and head out for dinner as a group. It’s a great opportunity to get to know each other, and you’ll take some time to discuss your itinerary and the adventure to come.

Accommodation: Reykjavik

Day 2 - Snæfellsnes peninsula

On the morning of the second day the group will head north to the Snæfellsnes Peninsula in the west of Iceland. On the southern part of Snæfellsnes you will photograph the rugged wilderness of the coastline, where jagged cliffs and unusual rock formations act as spect...

Day 3 - Snæfellsnes peninsula

On day three our adventures on the peninsula of Snæfellsnes continue. The aim will be to cover the sights and locations that we didn’t manage to fit in yesterday, skirting along the quaint coastal villages and taking in the mighty Snæfellsjökull glacier.

As we ...

Day 4 - Hraunfossar – Golden circle

On day four our journey continues, as we head back inland toward Iceland’s famous Golden Circle. First up, a stop at the blue waterfall of Hraunfossar. It’s not so much a single waterfall as a series of cascading falls, which during the autumn months are surrounded by...

Day 5 - Vik

Day five marks a change of direction for the group, as we head south toward some of Iceland’s lesser known, but arguably more impressive, natural scenes. The scenic south coast is home to dramatic black sand beaches, amazing rock formations and a number of mighty wate...

Day 6 - Vatnajokull National Park

When many people think if Iceland, they will probably picture scenes that can be found within the Vatnajokull National Park: Fire and ice. That’s where we will head on day six. The group will spend three days in the area, which gives you a good idea of just how many s...

Day 7 - Vatnajökull National park

Picture the scene: Glistening, miniature ice sculptures wash up on a black sand beach as the sun begins to rise. You’re probably starting to understand why the Vatnajokull National Park is a photographer’s dream, full of different lights, contrasting textures and an a...

Day 8 - Vatnajökull National park

As you’ve probably guessed by now, there is so much to explore in the area that we will largely spend our time moving from one incredible sight to another. The exact itinerary will be flexible, depending on the group’s preferences, the light and the weather conditions...

Day 9 - Vik

On day nine we will be turn back to Vik and drive along the south coast. There are plenty of sights still to see along the shoreline, from mountain peaks, glacial outlets and mossy lava fields to wild Icelandic horses. Again, we will choose our locations accordingly, depending on conditions and timings. Accommodation: Vik

Day 10 - Heading back

On the tenth day of this photography workshop we will head back to Iceland’s capital, Reykjavik. There are plenty of sights on the way, and there will be one final chance to pick the brains of our expert guides as we capture the sunrise on Reynisfjara beach, with the Reynisdrangar sea stacks in the background.

Day 11 - Departure

After a hearty breakfast at your hotel, you will head back to Keflavik International Airport, carrying with you a load of unforgettable memories and a bunch of fully loaded memory cards.
