I Have Much to Learn
Iceland was the first group tour I’ve ever been on. With a fixed itinerary, pre-defined locations, and a large group with a variety of interests – to say I was highly skeptical was an understatement. Regardless of my hesitation, it was hard to turn down the invitation and I really wanted to travel with those that invited me.
Now that I’m home and relatively pleased with a few of the images I brought home, it’s interesting and often amazing to see what the rest of the group saw and shot. With each new image, I found myself saying “Where was that?”, “Why did I not see it that way?”, or “#*$?, my image sucks compared to that one”.
The trip was a very fast paced packed itinerary with little time to rest (most of use slept in the van) and exhaustion was a battle by week two. At a time when I was completely uninspired to pick up the camera with several excuses of being too tired, the light or weather sucks, it’s mid-day and hot, there were other photographers out making great images that I had the opportunity and intentionally missed out on.
To close off this Icelandic Adventure, we as a group have assembled a PDF in the form of an eBook showcasing everyone’s favourite photographs.
Today’s Image – Two Weeks in Iceland PDF eBook

Published by oopoomoo, you can download this free 36MB PDF to see the wide variety of images and the different photographic styles artists can produce, even though we were often standing side by side in front of the same scene in the same weather.

Thank You for sharing your experience in Iceland with us all. I enjoyed viewing your oopoomoo ‘Two Weeks in Iceland’ PDF. Great photographic exposures.
Isn’t it true when you have that many people at a workshop that the question always arises ‘Where was that?’. Everyone has a different point of view, you can be a few feet apart and the exposure could be completely different. And to top it off you had Darwin on your trip. I’ve purchased a few of his books (and a few signings) and enjoy his articles in ‘Photolife”.
VERY WELL DONE. Thank You, again.
