Elements such as possible angles, the best time of day for shooting and equipment choice will all benefit from this planning.<\/p>\n

Iceland has so much to photograph, and it can be all too easy to get sucked into shooting the same locations as other photographers. It\u2019s important to add your style to each shot you capture to make sure you come home with unique photographs that represent your trip.<\/p>\n

Before you start thinking about what photographs you want to capture, it\u2019s important to consider when to go (as this will heavily influence the outcome of your photos). Iceland offers a totally different photographic experience all year round. Travel in the winter and you\u2019ll experience the incredible northern lights, travel in summer and you\u2019ll experience the midnight sun phenomena which provides endless hours of golden light. Once you\u2019ve decided when you\u2019d like to go, it\u2019s time to start planning out the locations you want to visit.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Dettifoss<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It goes without saying that all of Iceland\u2019s waterfalls are breathtaking. However, one of the best to photograph (and visit) was Dettifoss, otherwise known as Iceland\u2019s most powerful waterfall.<\/p>\n

Top tip:<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0There are two vantage points to witness the extreme amount of water flowing. Try approaching it from the far side rather than the more popular entrance. Fewer people access the waterfall from this side, and it gives a more open view of the landscape.<\/p>\n
