I’m missing the frequent videos, but when they pop up on youtube It’s definitely worth the wait. Your photos are extraordinary, unlike anyone else’s. Just so beautiful, and I love the way you share your settings. You are an amazing teacher, with an abundance of knowledge. Thank you so much for inspiring us all. Just amazing you are👍🏼

Helpful reminder on diagonals! I have a photo with a similar structure but thought it might be problematic without direct leading lines. I always liked it though because my eye circles back around thanks to some epic light that points back into the frame.

And the crew is saved from the incoming windstorm by Brendan the ambulance driver! That scene at Diamond Beach with all the chunks of ice looks incredibly epic!

Some nice images Brendan, love the close up ice ones

I’ve seen a lot of Icelandic photography but some of these are really unique. Great work!

Great video. I love Iceland, especially in the winter and despite the rough weather it always makes for some epic photographs. I don't think I could eve get tired of Vestrahorn whatever the conditions. Can't wait to go back.

Yeah, the Vestrahorn area always delivers awesome images. Would love to get northern lights there some day

Nice to see you still doing this

Good to see you in your element. That was fun to watch and there were some epic photos. Glad it worked out.

Great stuff Brendan, very enjoyable episode and killer shots 👍

My favs are the abstract ones! Really cool! Even though they don't show "where", it helps telling a story if paired with some other photos, making the story more powerful 😁 Also, it's 40ºC here in north PT and I'm seeing a snow video, it ALMOST helps my melting condition atm 😵‍💫 I wish I was in Lagos this week 🤣

Great video again! Really love the landscape in Iceland

Excellent shots and thought process behind the intention to change your photo compositions away from leading lines. Always appreciate learning more about Iceland and the beauty of its landscape. Need to make it back there soon. Those winds though! Was it as bad as predicted?

Outstanding photos! Outstanding story! Very nice done! Thank you for sharing!

Great vlog as always! Keep it up as I adore you, your narrative and style of photography! Just a curiosity. How can you use a L-bracket (Arca-swiss compatible I suppose) with a Peak Design Capture clip on your backpack?

3 Legged thing makes an L-Bracket that has a peak design clip on the bottom of it.

Yup, I'm down here in the south of Portugal.

What time of year was this? Looks like just the right time to find some ice but also unfrozen water too. Also that ice at 6:25 probably would have made a great close-up abstract.

Iceland is not an easy place to photograph, except few places!😊

You claim to be a Canadian? Didn't break out a hockey game on the ice? That my friend is how you get your passport revoked. Great video, makes me want to grab my camera and jump the next Iceland Air light to Riencjavik

It pays to read comments 1st, just saved myself 15 minutes

14:28 by the way, drones aren’t permitted at Diamond Beach! Sorry, I genuinely enjoyed the video except for that, and had to comment.

They aren't allowed at the glacial lagoon. There are no signa at the beach (unless that's changed since this was filmed).

@@nrice3623 Interesting. We definitely didn't see signs in the winter. And I messaged an Icelandic friend who is a ranger who said that diamond beach is actually outside the park (because it's on the sea) and the park ends at the road. I'm not saying it's right, just what he said.
