I share the image above to remind you we were on a photography tour. This is what happens when the van stops and all of us get off with cameras and tripods in hand!

And a small river alongside the road we stopped at. I was looking for likely places where a fish might hold.

Icelandic horses

The horses in Iceland are unique. We stopped multiple times to capture a few images of these magnificant animals.

These horses always ran or walked to the fence line to greet us.

We found babies in the fields during our 12 day trip, but there was never a pull-out close by to safely stop.

At the end of day 2 fly fishing and on the way to the airport, we found this mom and baby.

Glaciers

We viewed glaciers on our drive around the southwest area of Iceland very close to the ocean.

    1. Thanks for the comment Al. She’s using my original Nikon mirrorless, the Z50 crop sensor camera. The lens on the camera is a 16-50mm, but we have a 50-250mm that came with the kit. In addition, she used my 105mm macro for puffins, which made it a 157mm flull frame equivalent.

      John
