Photographing icebergs at Black Diamond Beach, Iceland

Black Diamond Beach

While we were waiting for the Zodiac boat tour, we spent the morning exploring Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and Black Diamond Beach. The beach is known for the washed up icebergs. Some of which are larger and taller than human beings. The photo above is one of my favourite shots at the beach. I had a lot of fun experimenting and shooting long exposure photography. The weather was pretty poor and rainy. I thought processing the image in black and white gives it an fine art quality to it. Colour didn’t add much to the photograph. As the icebergs were floating and moving in the water, it was challenging to get a completely still photo of the iceberg(s). We ended our day in Hofn, a quiet fishing town further north of the glacier lagoon. The town is known for it’s Icelandic lobster. It was one of the few hot meals we had at a local restaurant. The lobster roll was delicious. A great way to end the day after a harrowing boat ride exploring Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon
