Behind the Photo: Skógafoss, Iceland
This article was first published on capturingthelandscape.com.
Editor’s Note: If you ask any passionate landscape photographer what their dream location is, I’m fairly certain the majority of them would probably say Iceland. For those who might be wondering why, then let this incredible photograph be your answer – I for one, cannot take my eyes off it! Stephen Dickey
In September 2008 I was on a one week trip through Iceland with four guys from an independent ‘brand communications’ company from the UK, plus three Icelandic guides. The goal was to shoot a one minute commercial for Canon Europe, and take some stunning landscape photos along the way. After flying from Berlin to Keflavik, I took another flight with a small propeller-driven plane to go even further north, to Isafjordhur. There we met and started our tour of northern Iceland, during which we traveled across the country in two 4×4 cars. From the northern fjords we drove for days through the wild highlands on unpaved roads and through some rapid streams, south to the coastal lowlands.

Best Landscape Photos of 2011
In this new gallery you see a personal selection of Daves best landscape photos of 2011.

This image is stitched from 9 shots with the help of the magic blending wizard of oz, Matthias Haltenhof. The original image has about 60MP. :)
Italian Nights
What you are looking at is the Pale di San Martino group with some mountain lakes in the foreground near Baita Segantini (2200m) at night. I've spend half the night there shooting and looking at stars in this cloudless night. Except one lonely fox I was there on my own with the mountains, stars - and mosquitos.
Pala Reflection
Baita Segantini (2200m) and the Pale di San Martino group, near San Martino di Castrozza.
I hiked up there from 1400m on four out of eight evenings I have spent in the Dolomites, Italy. Three of them completely cloudless but on the fourth hike and my last day of the whole trip I finally got my chance.
