I was flying around with my drone, trying to spot some Reindeer – which is when I noticed the awesome light that came through those trees at sunset. I love the contrast between the golden light and the cool shadows on the snow – but even more – the lone tracks that were left by a fox.
I’ve seen some sunsets in my life – but this one was so good that it felt unreal. I can only assume it was the whole situation – ice cold, eyelashes frozen, a deep red sunset that threw a soft red onto the undisturbed snow, and all these natural frames that would be created by the frozen trees.
This is a drone shot from Lapland – and if you look carefully, you notice several tracks in the snow on the frozen lakes. These tracks are from the night before when we tried to hunt for the aurora and find the best compositions. I am not very comfortable walking on ice, simply for fear that it may break, but … it didn’t. Win!
Iceland has many hidden gems. This is a place that we thought was a hidden gem! Turns out, it’s not so hidden anymore. One of the friends I was travelling with went here years ago, and by that time you had to park in the middle of nowhere, walk through a field for 40 min, and arrive at this location. Well, now you arrive at a proper parking slot, paved walkways with fences, and a mass of people.
To get this shot, I had to fly my drone into a canyon in Iceland. I actually just wanted to get a nice picture of the waterfall, but as I was approaching, a friend of mine noticed the three sheep! Initially, they were just scattered around, but as I came closer, they converged at the edge and just all looked towards the waterfall. I don’t know why and neither do I care – I do thank them though!
