Magnificent Jökulsarlon Glacier Lagoon
What will I see?
Iceland offers an incredible wealth of photo motifs for photographers. And if you can do this tour with an Icelandic connoisseur and photographer, an exciting journey full of adventure, nature and great pictures is inevitable.
The Lucerne travel agency Rilex will ensure that the trip runs smoothly and in addition to your photo-technical questions during the trip you will be accompanied by Chris Zimmermann and Pirmin Suter, one of the two managing directors of P&M PHOTO MEDIA Lucerne.
I know Iceland in every season and have put together a travel plan for you that will leave nothing to be desired. Enjoy immense landscapes, glaciers, ice caves, waterfalls and with a bit of luck, even auroras, during these seven days.
We will cover the distances between the photo spots with one or two rental vehicles (VW T6 4x4 bus or similar) and then the spots will be explored on foot. Good shoes and winter-proof clothes are expected. In the evenings we go to the hotel, do the check-in and during a delicious dinner you can review the events and impressions of the day.
You can move freely at the photo spots and have enough time to enjoy nature and take your pictures. If you get bored: I have drones and various Syrp Motion Control devices in my luggage, which you are welcome to test and try out.
