LOVELY!!
I was at the Jökulsárlón Glacier, Atlantic side, 10+ years ago.
An enchanting experience.
Best to you!
Re: Large Format Landscapes
In color it really grabs your attention.
BTW, Are you using the original Symmar convertible, the Symmar-S or the Apo-Symmar? Should make no difference here but in some of your other posts I was interested in the out of focus areas of this lens.

Thanks. It’s the old original Symmar convertable. I don’t have access to it when writing this but if I remember correctly it’s from the 50s. A Linhof marked copy with excellent performance and sharpness. My most used lens I think but then I really like 135 mm.
I have used it converted a few times. Much more soft but still usable with a pleasing render.

Iceland as a whole is an enchanting experience.
Thanks!

Thanks, Vaughn. I arrived in Cathedral Valley at sunrise and then spent about an hour running around like a chicken with its head cut off before I finally settled down and started figuring out some photographs. Now I need to go back and do it better. :-)

This image has a very ethereal feel to it, which makes you stop and think. Does this area have this feeling, when you're there, in-person?

Both yes and no. It's a place like nowhere else. And facing the opposite direction is the large glacier lagoon filled with broken off blue-green almost icebergs. Ethereal, yes perhaps.
Thing is, you are not alone. This is the south coast of Iceland more or less on the the main ring road so there are loads of people like you. Tourists, photographers, tour buses and so on...
So it depends on what you are expecting I guess.
To lose the crowds you need to go much further east to the East fjords and beyond.
Here it is on google maps
