Title: Spectacular Reynisfjara Beach at sunrise
Post by: Vieri Bottazzini on June 12, 2018, 07:21:31 am
Iceland is so amazing, landscapes and geology are unforgettable, but what makes all the difference is the light - it's just spectacular, and unlike any other light I have ever worked with.

This is Reynisfjara Beach at sunrise, taken during a Workshop I led in Iceland last February. Leica SL, Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-90mm and filters Formatt-Hitech Firecrest Ultra.

It's beautiful, Vieri.

But I have a problem with this and a number of other landscape displays. I'm working with a 24 inch wide monitor. Your picture, and many others, won't fit on the main display screen. I have to scroll to see the rest of the picture. It would be much better if people would display a thumbnail which, when clicked, pops up a separate screen that can constrain the main picture to its own dimensions. I do that with my own pictures and it seems to work well.

Seems like from another planet, simply fantastic. I almost feel the warmth of the glow here, behind my monitor!
Well done.

Beautiful transition from cold (left) to warm (right).

Vieri, you are usually up *before* sunrise!? What went wrong?

Thank you very much indeed Russ, I am glad you enjoyed it! :) About your viewing problem, I think the forum should implement auto-resize for linked images, that would solve it.

Thank you very much Francois, I am glad you enjoyed the image and the glow! :)

Thank you very much Paulo, glad you enjoyed the "ice & fire" Icelandic feel here! :)

:D I must be getting old!! :D Well, actually I was there much before sunrise (and at that time of the year, that is at a pretty reasonable hour anyway...), but nothing much happened in the sky before the sun showed himself: it is simply incredible how fast the sky changes in Iceland, and how 5-10 minutes might make the difference between no picture and an amazing display!

Best regards,

Vieri
