Foggy Icelandig Morning


This was during my first hike after leaving Reykjavik. Photography-wise there was so much to explore and to play around with, I think I felt like Alice in Wonderland. Was Alice happy to be in wonderland? I never really looked into the story to be honest.

Liquid Heaven


First try photographing in the water (click on the image to enlarge for a better in-water-experience).

Have you ever walked deep into the ocean while holding a Canon 5D II? I'm telling you, it's a strange feeling. While paddling around on a surfboard the other day I came to the conclusion that I need some sort of underwater housing for my camera to capture such beautiful moments. Now the typical price tag for such a piece of equipment is ridiculously high if you ask me. I understand it's a tiny niche and the housings are customized for each model, but $1500 for playing around a little is just too much in my case. After some searching and discussion with friends on twitter, I finally found something that does the job for much less money. I got this one for just $95. After the first test run I can tell you that the camera staid perfectly dry.

Pick a star in the open sky


Are you aware of the meteor shower going on outside right now? It's best viewed in the desert where it is pitch black. So last night we spontaneously drove out to Mount Laguna and indeed, we saw a shooting star every few minutes. I'm not sure what I found more impressive, the meteors or the starry sky itself. Maybe the sky.
