    Cool Icelandphotoblog.com

    Hello fellow MIMF members. It's a few months since I started a experiment project for myself which was to create a photoblog site which would contain photographs (by me) of Iceland nature and landscapes. It has been so much fun and I will keep going with the project for a long time.

    So I want to invite you all to my photoblog which has the url http://www.icelandphotoblog.com and hopefully you will enjoy some of my efforts.

    Please feel free to leave a comment on the site and/or contact me directly through email.

    Btw. you can click on the photograph to see the next photo or click on the "browse" link in the top right corner to view all the photographs.

    Small preview




    Enjoy!

    Aloha falcon1,

    Such beautiful pictures

    Seeing those beautiful Icelandic horses I am reminded about the fact that if one were to ship one of those to another country; that horse would never be allowed to be returned to Iceland. This is in order to keep the horse blood pure or so I have heard.

    Cheers,

    Thank you all for the comments.

    Corno, yes that is pardly true but mostly to prevent diseases in animals which are known abroad but still unknown in Iceland.

    Krummhorn, I use Nikon D80 and Canon G9 for my photographs. The Jökulsárlón
    photographs (from boat) are taken with the G9. Then I use Adobe Photoshop
    to fix colors etc.

    AWESOME pictures from Island. I live in the north of Jutland, Denmark and we never have been blessed with the light in the heavens above Island.

    You guys up there are lucky.

    Please enter all you want and need to.

    Thank you all for your kind comments!

    intet-at-tabe, hehe... yes, Denmark is rather flat isn't it. However, you
    probably have some other interesting things which photographers can play with.

    Right you are falcon1 flat as a pancake, like Holland (The Neatherlands)

    But let me please congratulate you and all islanders on the possible GOLD medal tomorrow in the finals at the OLYMPICS in Beijing, China in the team sport handball for men.

    For the rest of you guys not from Island. Island has around 300.000 people totally as the entire population, and yet against countries with 25 or 60 million people Island has fought it´s way through fair play and good sportmanship to the finals in handball. AWESOME!!

    The very first time in the history of the Olympics and the history on Island participating at the OLYMPICS, that Island have managed to achieve the forthcoming possible victory and the prestigious GOLD medal - in a game for teams.

    I will have my fingers crossed for your countrymen and for Island until the game is over tomorrow.

    Go Island for the GOLD, Go Island for the GOLD, Go Island for the GOLD!!
    Best regards,
    intet_at_tabe

    Just a few hours before the finals falcon1

    I watched this interview yesterday with a totally smiling buisness owner, who has sponsored the team. The interview was from Friday, and he said: "No one would work in his buisness until the finals were over". Rare to see an adult guy so extremely happy and excited

    When the team has won, you will probably name this date for a National Day of Achievements, and the schools, public offices, the government and every buisness will be closed on this date the next 30 years.

    It realy is an AWESOME achievement in a team sport for men for Iceland, because of the reasons I mentioned in my former post.

    Sorry for the wrong spelling of Iceland in English, I wrote it like the Danes do with the letter "S".

    Go Iceland for the GOLD, Go Iceland for the GOLD, Go Iceland for the GOLD
