On my first day in Reykjavik, Iceland, I discovered the most amazing church called Hallgrimskirkja. (I still can’t get over the complicated names!) I was supposed to be resting up and getting used to the time change before my photo tour, but I just couldn’t help myself. I had to get up early and get to this place before sunrise to capture it during twilight light. I … [Read more...] about Hallgrimskirkja at Night

Iceland: Seljalandsfoss Waterfall
Seljalandsfoss is one of the most iconic waterfalls in Iceland. I have seen so many photos of this place that I was very excited to see it first hand and it didn't disappoint. It's definitely on my list of places to return to when I visit Iceland again (surely, I must!) and hopefully I'll have more opportunities under different lighting conditions. While there, I had … [Read more...] about Iceland: Seljalandsfoss Waterfall
