    Another major human impact in iceland is the lupine. One of my favourite parts of iceland is how massive fields of lupine seem to hide the ring road. The lupine is an invasive species from alaska. Originaly brought to iceland for its nitrogen fixing properties and (according to some locals near vic i myrdal) as a way to stop the sandstorms. The lupine did a little too well in iceland quickly covering formaly forrested areas and now threatens local biodiversity. Particularly by outcompeting local nitrogen fixing grasses that serve as essential food sources for the islands birds.

    It is a controversial plant for sure, but I would rather have that plant than the desertification it's absence would invite, and actually recent research shows that it doesn't actually outcompete things like birch trees or spruce because it is not tolerant of shade and will eventually loose the battle for light to things like the native birch trees. But yeah, we should definitely still control it's spread where possible to avoid the negative factors, like it out competing 'melgresi' but I think that melgresi is an even hardier plant and will actually grow in places where even the lupine won't.

Did you set out with this specific story in mind, or did you learn about it while you were in Iceland and have that inform your storytelling? I'd love to know more about how you research and plan these films! 👊🏻

    I'm not a professional cinematographer or great at color grading by any means, but sometimes your videos are waay too saturated and are too contrasty (in my opinion, maybe I'm wrong). Maybe bringing up some of the complete blacks to grays and desaturating just a little some heavy shots could look better. I hope you can understand what I'm talking about since English is not my first language. Again that is a personal opinion and by no means am I telling you that your videos are looking bad, the are f"ing amazing, just trying to give some constructive feedback. Love your content, it feels genuine, and is beautifully crafted.
