Back on the road... here in #Iceland now! . Arrive Back on the road... here in #Iceland now! . Arrived today, did the mandatory #CoronaVirus / #Covid19 test at the airport in Keflavik, went to my hotel, and isolated in my room until I got my results about 6 hours after landing. Test results negative, so I’m cleared to travel around Iceland for the next 11 days. . After the test result came in I had a late night pizza dinner and now, 20 minutes to midnight, enjoyed this wonderful sunset over the bay of Reykjavik. As it’s summer and we are high up in the Nordics, the sun will never completely disappear this time of the year. It will shortly drop below the horizon, but not far enough for it to get dark. And then an hour later, it will slowly come up again, giving us here in Iceland hours of red and orange sunset and sunrise light (if you stay awake that is). . More to come in the next days, stay tuned... .#amazing #instatravel #travel #travelgram #travelblogger #ontheroad #wanderlust #luxurytravel #beautifuldestinations #bestvacations #vacation #vacations #wonderful_places #welivetoexplore #explore #exploremore #holiday #holidays #shotoniphone #visiticeland @visiticeland.is

Full street name is #Kurfürstendamm, which could be translated as „Avenue of the Prince Elect“. . Towards the eastern end of this avenue, the name changes twice.

The #geysir #Strokkur again, but this time in an i The #geysir #Strokkur again, but this time in an icecold winter night in January 2017. This is a longtime exposure (15 seconds, at f2.8, ISO1600, camera: Nikon D850, lens: Tamron 15-30 G1) showing the erupting Strokkur in front of a lit-up sky by a weak #Aurora Borealis (a.k.a. the #NorthernLights). . I was there with my friends @_honourhill_ and @mrs.ehrenberg . We first went to the #Gulfoss waterfalls about 15 minutes away where we photographed quite a strong #AuroraBorealis in super cold winds, before we retreated to the Geysir area where we waited about an hour to get the right shot of this geysir exploding in front of the Northern Lights. (The Stokkur erupts about every 10 minutes.) ABSOLUTELY MAGICAL! . Hint: Right opposite of the namesake of all geysirs in the world, "the" Geysir and its little brother Strokkur you'll find the quite luxurious Hotel Geysir (and the cheaper Hotel Litli Geysir, which also rents out cabins). So you can stay there a night or more and don't need to drive back to Reykjavik, which is about 90 minutes away. . #amazing #instatravel #travel #travelgram #travelblogger #ontheroad #wanderlust #luxurytravel #beautifuldestinations #bestvacations #vacation #vacations #wonderful_places #welivetoexplore #explore #exploremore #holiday #holidays #NikonD850 #visiticeland

#SkyReplacement or not? Extreme photo editing or a #SkyReplacement or not? Extreme photo editing or as true to the original as possible? What is your opinion on this? . Personally I prefer going with a close-to-the-original style when editing my photos. I shoot my photos in RAW format and retouch all of them with @adobe #Lightroom, but I'm only doing this, because I know that cameras rarely capture a moment the way you saw it with your own eyes. So when I'm editing my photos, I just try to make them look like how I remember a certain scene. . And sky replacement? I have definetly problems deciding if I like it or not. It feels way to extreme. It is not what the camera captured. But then, what about a photo were the sky is totally blown out, because the sun was way to bright? Or in a sitution with a grey 100% overcast cloud layer? . I guess it boils down to the question if we see a picture as an "art form" or if a picture should be a photograph which should be as true as possible to the moment it was captured; a time-capsule reminding us of what we saw, ignoring all the shortcomings of camera-technology. A difficult decision for me. Personally I'm more a true to reality guy, but I also realised that I love a lot of photos I see on Instagram which clearly have undergone extreme editing. . So currently my stance on this is, light editing and sky replacement in certain situations is okay, if the original sky is blown out. But I'm against radical edits. And I can't tell you why. Yet, on this picture, I took against the sun into an overcast sky, the sky-replacement rescued a horrible picture. .

青海島自然研究路 National Park on #Omi Isl 青海島自然研究路 National Park on #Omi Island, #Yamaguchi Prefecture, on a hot summer day in August 2019. Beautiful coast with some nice beaches between the cliffs for a fun day at the Ocean. Quite a lot of scuba diving bases around the area. Nice trails for hiking, too. This is the Southwestern coast of Japan's main island Honshu, so we are looking onto the Sea of Japan here. . This area is about at the half-way-point between Hiroshima and Fukuoka, around 2.5 hours by car from each city. Great for a daytrip from each place or as a stopping point on your way between the cities. Personally I would like to come back and stay a few days and test out this area for scuba diving. . #amazing #instatravel #travel #travelgram #travelblogger #ontheroad #wanderlust #luxurytravel #beautifuldestinations #bestvacations #vacation #vacations #wonderful_places #welivetoexplore #explore #exploremore #holiday #holidays #shotonnikon #D850 #visitjapan @visitjapanjp @japandailies #japandailies

This was the most #unreal place I’ve ever been t This was the most #unreal place I’ve ever been to! #CambridgeBay, #Nunavut, #Canada 🇨🇦, a place so cold, your fingers get frostbite once you take your gloves of. Only 1800km (about 1200mi) from the North Pole, here 1600 inhabitants make a living, despite living up to 11 months a year in harsh and brutal arctic winter conditions, only to enjoy one month of artic „summer“, before it gets cold again. . And we are not talking regular cold here, we are talking -40 degrees Celsius cold, with winds making the windchill temperature even colder. Daylight hours in December and January are only from about 10 to 15 (10AM to 3PM), but it never gets really bright, instead you have a few hours of sunrise and sunset light. An amazing place to visit, but personally I don’t want to live there. . Beside the locals residing here, you also have a small US-Canadian mixed Army station, which mans the local early-warning radar station against Russian nuclear rockets. And there is a science station, the Canadian High Arctic Research Station. But that’s about it. Two super markets and two or three restaurants which aren’t always open complete that little village. . On the last image (a screenshot from @googlemaps), the northernmost flag is Cambridge Bay, the one below is Yellowknife and the third flag in the “South” is Edmonton. . #amazing #instatravel #travel #travelgram #travelblogger #ontheroad #wanderlust #luxurytravel #beautifuldestinations #bestvacations #vacation #vacations #wonderful_places #welivetoexplore #explore #exploremore #holiday #holidays #shotoniphone #shotoniphone11promax #visitcanada
