Iceland is a Volcanic Island and their power source is Geothermal. The coastline is beautiful with all the volcanic rocks. I welcome your comments and suggestions so I can improve my photography. Thank you in advance.

You seem to be doing OK so far . All good shots. Perhaps the geyser could be brightened up a bit.

Thanks for your suggestion on the Geyser, I'll go back to my original picture and lighten it up.

Nice shots!

(Is there line power the same or does one from the states need an adapter?)

Hotels have power outlets but you need an adapter.

230 volts @ 50 Hz

These days a lot of electronics will function on 110 - 230 Volts without needing adapters other than for pins.

Wonderful tour. The geyser shot is really good. I wonder if there is enough contrast to make an attractive B&W out of it? I really like the last shot best.

Hi, moondoggie,
I’ve enjoyed your landscape series and especially appreciate that you are conscientious about including a bit of foreground....”a place for the viewer to stand”...in each image.

I agree with RG that the geyser could stand brightening.

I also suggest that the last image could be improved...bigtime...by the simple expedients of “brightening the shadows” - (everything this side of the background icefield) and then increasing the middle tone contrast using “Clarity”.

Your image composition is good!

I like the series.

Best regards,

Dave

Hi Dave,
I appreciate your suggestions and expertise. I’ll go back to see if I can enhance the image as you suggested. I did brighten up the Geyser picture.

Thanks,
Gary
