Landscape Iceland glacier lagoon

Iceland glacier lagoon · **2 Likes**

Hi,

Just want to share some of my photos from the glacier lagoon in Iceland September last year. The sunrise was beautiful with all the Ice on the beach as a foreground...For the first one, which version do you prefer? Normal or HDR? I like the ice on normal one and colors on the HDR one.

Normal version

HDR version

Great set, fabulous colours. Especially love the colour of the ice in 1 and 7!

Beautiful shots - I also prefer the normal version of #1.

Really amazing shots all around. I like the HDR version (its not taken too far), but the original photo was good enough already. Clever compositions

I like the natural version though I also think you did not overdo the hdr one. If the shadows only were lightened on the original with just a little fill light I bet it would be your favorite also.

Nice series.

Thanks everyone for the kind comments. Hard time to pick a favorite for me but I think it's the sunburst behind the golden ice that really stands out to me. As for the first one, I think the normal version is sharper and HDR version dreamier. I already tried filling the shadows and brightening the bottom but that's about as far as I can go in LR.
