The workshopWe traveled to Iceland in June, 2008, for a bird photography workshop with Daniel Bergmann. There were six of us in the group: us two Yanks, a British couple (Helen and Phil), a woman from Bermuda, and a woman from Reykjavik. We spent most of each day out in the field. In June, the sun sets at around 12:30 AM and rises at about 2 AM, but it is never even close to dark out.
The birds:
Birds of the auk family:
In the arctic summer, everything is in bloom...
While we were mainly concentrating on photographing birds, we couldn't pass up some of the fantastic scenery. It's not all ice, or, as the saying goes, Iceland is green - Greenland has ice.
We returned to Iceland in October, 2021, for a landscape photography workshop led by Arctic Exposure.
