Vik's Spirit · **8 Likes**

Nothing beats the stark beauty of Iceland in winter, and the expressive power of long exposures definitely helps in creating a special mood. Vik's Spirit, 323 seconds of exposure with my Hasselblad X1D, Hasselblad XCD 45mm and Formatt Hitech Filters Firecrest Ultra filters.

Thank you for viewing, best regards

Oh, do I want a Hasselblad. And talent like yours.

The long exposure is quite expressive, and the B&W treatment is ideal, and not much different than a color shot would have been (I was there in November, and we had cloudy, rainy, windy = pretty B&W). Love the balance and flow in your image. Thanks.

I shot for the angry waves, with more telephoto, and captured many birds. You sacrificed the birds, but captured incredible flow. Excellent.

It is really a beautiful shot I agree. So calm and creamy.

An amazing photo, my friend. Wonderfully ethereal.

Very very nice - your shots give me inspiration to try and meet up with... and fall drastically short of...

aitrus3 · 01-03-2020, 06:19 PM

So very good. Lovely shot!

Beautiful image! The composition is fantastic. I love the expanse of sea and clouds, and the rocks on the right look like they are crumbling down into the water.

Fine image.

Thank you very much Ted, I am glad you enjoyed it!

Yes, long lenses are also a good possibility at Vik, depending on conditions and such.
