Jewels from the sea
Marco and I actually wanted to photograph the active Fagradalsfjall volcano, but that's another story and I'll post a blog article about it later. By the time we got to Iceland, the volcano had stopped its visible activity. Since the trip was already booked, we made the best of the situation and visited a few places that I knew had interesting subjects. I've been to Djupalonssandor Beach twice and I knew that this beach reveals its full beauty in rainy weather. When the weather forecast actually predicted rain for the last day of our trip, we got in the car and drove off. The washed-up sea plants captivated us and we took photos for 2 1/2 hours in the pouring rain. Of course, not every camera can do this. But Marco's Leica SL2 and my Leica S3 endured the wet weather without complaint. In post-production I highlighted the colors of the sea plants a bit. By the way, all images were taken with the APO-Macro-Summarit-S 1:2.5 / 120 mm. There are experts who claim it is the best Marko lens ever.
