Location
In Iceland early 2017 at the astonishing Diamond Beach.Time
It was in the morning. We just arrived with our rental Camper at the Diamond Beach. We were really early there, and nobody else was there yet. I was stunned, those ice rocks all over the beach. Some of them were as big as a car.Lighting
At first I was a little disappointed because I was hoping for a colourful sunrise. But it was cloudy. But never the less I was happy after the post processing.Equipment
I shot with the Sony A7RII and the LAOWA 15mm f/2 Zero D mounted on the SIRUI T-1205X Traveler Carbon Fibre TripodInspiration
Well I've seen many great photos from this place. It's a "must" to visit this spot if you are in Iceland.Editing
As always I process my pictures a lot in Lr and Ps. I like the surreal look. It's a single exposure of 4/10s. I converted it to B&W for this contest.In my camera bag
The Sony A7RII with the Zeiss 16-35mm f/4 , the Sony A6000 with the 70-200 f/4 mounted. For nightshots I just switched my Samyang 14mm with the LAOWA 15mm f/2 Zero D - an Amazing Lens! And there is also the Zeiss 55mm f/1.8 in my bag. Oh and I carry a dji Mavic Pro around.Feedback
If you go to Iceland, visit the Diamond Beach. You can literally shoot countless great shots there. I've never ever took so many pictures anywhere else. Those Ice rocks on the black sand are so amazing.
