8/7/08 Helicopter over Iceland




My trip to Iceland was filled with surprises each day and this day was no exception.  I woke up to learn that I'd have the opportunity to fly over Iceland in a helicopter without the doors attached.  At first I was a bit apprehensive but the excitement of photographing this incredible landscape soon took over and I was one in the first group to go up.  Once I got over how fidget it was without the doors I didn't want to come down.  The landscape is so overwhelmingly beautiful and the colors unreal.  I took one body and one lens along with a hooded jacket and heavy gloves.  I soon learned I couldn't shoot with the gloves on but it was worth my fingers freezing to get these shots.  I only wish I could have stayed up longer and traveled all over Iceland this way.

Such an amazing post! The photographs really bring me to your very vantage point in the helicopter; affording me the opportunity to view concisely what you caught a sight of. I know that I would have been apprehensive as well traveling in a helicopter without doors, wow. Thank you for sharing!
