We Packed Our Bags To Visit Iceland And It Turned Out To Be Unbelievable 18-Month Adventure
One day I woke up with a strong feeling that it was time to set off into the unknown. I packed my stuff and together with M. we headed to an unearthly land - Iceland.
It turned out that we stayed there not one week, not even two, but exactly 18... months. We traversed lava fields, ate shark meat, fought with hurricane winds, escaped volcano eruption, and we've taken great delight in everything Icelandic.
During all this time I've been registering all these vast open spaces, otherworldly landscapes, in-between moments, trying to capture the essence of Iceland.
It's not the end of our adventure. Bite into Iceland with us!

I am dying!! He is soo adorable! The picture is amazing... good job!
I was beginning to think there were no trees at all in Iceland. It seems they don't have many.
Stunning locations and images. I love the soft and calming feel of the images
Some good ones here. But, just as I learned when I lived in Alaska (for thirty years), the vastness and the beauty of that cannot be truly captured in a photo. When I tried to tell people about it I found myself always finishing with, "You just have to see it."
Incredible photos. Im equal parts impressed and envious. The photos are so impactful, i can't imagine the feeling of actually being in such a beautiful place.
It's really nice to hear that. Thank you so much!

It's a great place to live, especially if you love nature and want to slow down and simply enjoy life. But if you like city life and nice sunny weather, I would think twice before moving ;)

Great that you like it, thank you!

Adam, thanks for these inspired shots! May i ask where each of these falls were? We are foss hunting in june!
Great that you like them. Thank you! The bigger waterfall is Dynjandi in the Westfjords (one of my favourites) and the smaller one is right below Dynjandi. If you love waterfalls, Iceland is a paradise then. Apart from the star waterfalls (f.ex. Skogafoss, Godafoss, Hengifoss, Gullfoss), you will find plenty of smaller but also amazing falls everywhere. Have a great trip!

Load More Replies...Beautiful images and love your style of work. I go in a week, any specific places to visit with a camera?
Thanks! When I travel around Iceland, there's all the time something which grabs my attention. You can find something fascinating almost around every corner. But if I had to name just a few places, then: Myvatn and surroundings, Snaefellsnes peninsula, Jokulsarlon (and generally the South), Westfjords. Have a great trip! :)
Load More Replies...The pictures are amazing and I've been dreaming about Iceland too! I am really curious about the finances though - I would love to stay somewhere that long but I read it's hard to get a job without speaking the language, there, and there's no way I could afford to stay so long without a salary! I wish I could work on a laptop ^^
Thank you! It's difficult to find a great job without speaking Icelandic, but you don't need to speak Icelandic to work for example at a hotel reception, especially somewhere away from Reykjavik.

Gorgeous photo's! Stunning locations and great compositions! Easy on fade filter though, it doesn't really add anything to most of these photo's imho.
lovely tones!! My hobby is also taking photos along my journey. Would you mind to share the tips for the tone? like postprocessing software, or camera setting. Thanks :)
We worked here and there while traveling, so we even brought some money back to Poland :)
