Here are some images I got to finish editing from my first full day and night in Iceland at Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon. It was the first destination I with the photo group led by Lance Keimig and Tim Vollmer went to visit and explore. Of the week I spent in Iceland, this first night there was by far the best that I got to see the Northern Lights and it was truly a sight to behold. My images doesn’t really do any great justice unfortunately but I certainly had quite a humbling experience seeing this amazing natural wonder light show with my own eyes for the very first time. I wished I could have spent another night there to get more but there were more locations to see and so I only had this one day/night there.
Not far from the lagoon on the coast is a long stretch of black sand beach that is littered with blocks of crystal clear ice that I can only image comes from broken pieces of glaciers that wash up from the sea. Some of them are enormous. The one that I took a long exposure image of is really quite large. You had to jump a bit to climb to the top of that block.
I’m still editing the remaining images and will share those when they’re ready. The rest of images that I’ve edited can be found on Flickr page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/16048420@N05/sets/72157633146555918/
On a side note, I finally developed the rolls of film that I also took when I was in Iceland and started this week to make contact sheets. I hope to make some prints from that in the coming weeks as well.
Enough writing…I present Jokulsarlon, Iceland and Northern Lights…

I’m actually coming in from Delaware that morning to shoot an event at 10:45am, with the images due the next day! I think I’ll be a bit tied up that day
But otherwise wish I could go with you all!
