I were in that same cave probably about 4 months before your visit. Got one of my favourite photo with the river and a moment of sunshine. Also on that beach a tourist died on sneaker wave couple days after my trip. Saw it on the news. Years before I got sneaker wave but I only sunk to the beach on my knees and got away with my camera...

Great to see you back in Iceland! Love the ice cave images. Those diamond beach ice berg photos were abit different from your passed ones! Keep up the good work Brendan 📸❤️

January 30th, eh? Only 6 months behind and you've already finished your Summer trip to Iceland. At least you've gotten some awesome images. 👍🥂

Getting low on those sea stacks and showing some wave motion is the move!

Watching this makes me want to go back to alaska, and reshoot some glaciers and ice caves.

Absolutely love your channel and content. Been following you for 3 years now. You deserve much more views and credits !!!

Thank you so much, appreciate the support.

Funny enough after saying Sony was not able to capture blue color properly in the caves, the very next scene on the beach had the opposite problem. The scenes shot with the canon looked WAY too blue and over-saturated, while the Sony ones looked much more natural.

That was definitely a user error though, haha. I had the white balance still on the wrong setting from the night before.

Sony not shooting blue is just bs, its just a matter of adjusting your colours in the picture profile settings and white balance etc

He looked like dead in the next scene. No wonder it was blue in the cave when you push the white balance like that. The footage of the sony looks so much better.

Great video! Drone in a snow storm... you are corageus!

Hello Brendan!!! Another wonderful video and the captures are so beautiful!! Great to see the winter side of Iceland!! Take Care!!!

Once again, I love your work Brendan! Another fantastic episode in ICELAND....enjoy going home. Cheers

In 2017, the sea got me even though I was being the careful one in the group. It snapped my Gitzo tripod in half and claimed my camera and lens. I had so much black sand in my clothes that they were all put in the trash. I was a good 50 feet from shore break.

Great video, Brendan - it made me pine for my favourite place on earth. I heard a rumour that the Black Sand Beach at Vik may soon be closed to visitors ... too many drownings. Last June I attempted some slow shots of the sea stacks (9:08 in your video) .. but was absolutely blasted by the wind and sand, with no chance of keeping the tripod still (my wife thought/thinks I'm nuts. Ha ha!). Somehow, we never get to Diamond Beach during our winter trips to Iceland ... will there be any ice in September?

@BrendanvanSon

Hi John, I think it's just a rumour. I can't imagine they'll close it. As for ice at Diamond beach. Yes, it's there year round. Sometimes it gets a bit clogged in the lagoon or blown away by winds and currents, but it's almost always there.

Brendan I agree with you on the sony color issues no matter what I did with my sony a7iii I could never get the colors correct in camera. They were close but never quite 100% its the reason I switched back to nikon.

I like the Sony cinematic look for video. It's a vibe. But it also drives me a little crazy just because it doesn't look with how I saw it.

Have you seen the series "Katla" it is based in Vik? These conditions look perfect for the series.

Is the blue-lag of the sony-cameras just a "white-balance" thing, or more a general problem?

@BrendanvanSon

2 жыл бұрын

It's a sony problem. And to be honest, they've improved it a lot since the A7ii. It used to be horrible. Their colour science has always been a bit off when it comes to blue. Using a good white balance and colour grading can definitely help and get you close, but it's way more work

Not only blue, Canon's autofocus is also better....
