Iceland!

Just back from my trip to Iceland - amazing place. Very poor weather conditions a lot of the time so a lot of HDR techniques were needed - plus my polariser got jammed on the lens which wasn't helpful when it was dark already - but here's a few piccies anyway, comments welcome!

i like no.4 but there's something missing from it which i can't place my finger on, i think it needs a bit more contrast as it all seems to blend in together. Still a good image though.

yeah you may be right. tried to clear it up as best as i could in PS but the mist on that waterfall was insane

I love Iceland, it's my favourite country. I must go back sometime!

I'm not sure about 1, but I can't put my finger on why. I love what you've done with Strokkur though, it looks great in black and white.

thanks, it was the only way to go with it due to the thoroughly boring grey skies at the time

You're not in GD any more mate, so yeah, you probably were.

ooh!! burn!

2nd and 3rd are great - think the first is a bit dull, but considering you couldn't get the polariser off, it's a damn good one (i've got the polariser stuck on a lens before and it's BLOODY annoying!)

not too sure about the 4th, think it needs a focal point - my eyes are all over the place in it.

Out of those 2 stands out for me. Really just like the simplicity of it and the nice B&W processing - looks like something that could have been taken on the Endurance (like these).

That thought did cross my mind too

I found the solution for the polariser though, rubber band around it for extra grip woohoo! Shame I didnt think of that over there

I thought the third one looked like satellite photo too, heh.

Second one for me, definitely.
