I am launching a new website, this one centered around travel photography. My economic blog will not go away.
My first photography series is called “Iceland in 16 Days“.
My wife Liz and I went to Iceland two summers ago. The images are all from that trip, all taken in 16 days.
Here is my first article: Iceland in 16 Days: Day 1, South Region, Seljalandsfoss Waterfall.
Here is one of the images from the first day.
In the Iceland series, we will take you around Iceland, and the amazing trip we had with scenes of waterfalls, ice beaches, puffins, whales, geysers, rainbows, glaciers, and colorful fishing boats in small harbor villages.
I have a twitter ID of @MishMoments for the photography site, but for a while will double tweet.
I expect to release a new article about 4-7 times a week, no more than one a day. The initial series of about 25 articles is already written (some days have more than one feature).
The images were nearly all taken between 10:00PM and 4:00AM when the light was best. I got little sleep on the trip, the same as all my trips, because I still post on the economy multiple times a day. It was a pretty grueling schedule, because we stayed in a different hotel 11 times in the first 12 days.
Once again here is the kickoff article: Iceland in 16 Days: Day 1, South Region, Seljalandsfoss Waterfall.
Please check it out, and if you like it, then please signup and share.
Thanks

Great shots. I’m curious how crowded the sites were during your late night visits?

The waterfall image was quite crowded as in about 10 people by the waterfall. There were at least another 30 people down below who did not walk up to the base of the waterfall.
On most of my shots for the trip, there was hardly anyone around, especially the sunrise images.
There were 4 people behind the waterfall when I got there. Lots of spray, they all gave up but me, in favor of a side shot.

You are a real Leonardo da Vinci, Mike if not a George P Steinmetz, inventor of Westinghouse’s core turbine’s, etc.. Seeing a “No Smoking sign he started to leave followed by “Not you, Mr. Steinmetz, not you…”
Having done an exhibition of my Cibachromes at my club, I decided to show them to a gallery at the Bastille where the entire watch & clock making artisinat was wiped out for Popidou’s Très grande bibliothèque where you could not borrow a book. La patronne announced she was from NY. Well, I’m from NY (Don’t tell my friends). What do you think of my paintings? “Pop art is like Pop music, kitsch according to Roger Scruton.” “You haven’t found yourself”, a frequent comment if your pix are not all the same genre. “What do you think of Leonardo da Vinci?” I asked. Later a man rolled up at my café table at le Palais de Chaillot with frizzy hair I hate, announcing he was a NY photographer. “What do you think of people who run art galleries?” I asked. “They’re all morons…”
Try to find Erwin Fieger’s fabulous book of color pictures of London, all taken with a Leitz Hektor 200mm lens.
And be sure to let me know if you find a way to expand your photo exhibition idea.
Wishing you & Liz Happy Holidays,
Bill

Beautiful. What made you decide to visit Iceland? Just the scenery? I considered it once until I looked at the airfare to get there and back.

I always wondered how to display fine, detailed images made with such camera on the screen, or is printing to paper a must? I imagine some software app with a magnifying glass features would be extremely useful.

As a tip for europeans IcelandAir offers free stop-overs in Iceland for up to 7 days when flying to USA so if one has planned travel to USA they should consider traveling through Iceland on Icelandair and stopping for up to a week to enjoy Iceland.
.
Icelandair fares to USA are competitive with other european carriers.
