Iceland is a living, breathing land that gurgles, rumbles, spits and spews with geothermal and volcanic activity. Set in the North Atlantic Ocean, it is a dramatic island of wild contrasts. Every scene beckons the lens: Imagine green fields with shimmering glaciers as a backdrop, dark black sand beaches with white-flecked waves crashing in and sky-high volcanic peaks silhouetted against the golden light of a languid summertime sunset, where the sun skims the horizon before rising again for another endless day, fishermen. Packed to the brim with striking scenery, deserted terrain and a variety of fauna, Iceland allows you to shoot unhampered and challenges you to capture the magical atmosphere of this unique land.

Inspiring Iceland: A Photography Journey
with Visual Storyteller
Bill Frakes
August 12 - 21, 2015
Iceland is a place that inspires awe in visitors. With every turn, this little-populated nation offers up natural wonders with the power to mesmerize: geysers gush water, volcanic craters smoke and grumble, gases spurt from crevices and fissures, mammoth monolithic glaciers inch along and the twisted remnants of hardened lava decorate large swathes of land.
Elemental forces aren't the only things at play in this captivating country; exquisite wildlife also frolics here. Spruce black-and-white puffins are a common sight throughout the summer, as are northern gannets, guillemots, razorbills and various duck species. Whales parade the waters along the coast and dorsal fins can be occasionally spotted cutting through the rippled surface like a sharp knife.
With its sweeping vistas, Iceland offers up a wealth of photographic subjects and scenes. Join us for a photographic journey in this spectacular island.
This expedition is for photographers of all levels and offers a unique opportunity to improve your landscape photography skills and experiment with time-lapse photography.
