Good photography...great to see a couple sharing the same joy... i am from Barbados....we have pure sunshine🙂.....it good to see the snow and the birds......
What a nice peaceful place in winter! Seeing the ptarmigan against the snowy backdrops must be a rewarding experience. Thanks for sharing your adventure!
Hi, I am watching your videos about photography in Greenland and other cold places. They are great. I am wondering what footwear you are wearing!? I am starting out in nature photography and I am realizing that good waterproof footwear can be beneficial. Can you help? Best, John.
As long as there is some contrast to focus on the camera has no problem focusing in the snow. Yes, the Starlings are quite common here now. About 10 years ago there were none in North-Iceland.
MUCH enjoying your photos, video, and commentary. Your English is 10,000 times better than my Icelandic. But I could tell you, most don't pronounce the P in Ptarmigan. It's as silent as Fagradalsfjall was BEFORE the eruption, unless you kind of "spit" out the PT as one syllable. Not even sure I can do it right. (Crazy Greeks!) I encountered ptarmigan once, many years ago, in the Rocky Mountains. I was able to get close enough to use a normal lens. But ALWAYS the problem of winter photography: keeping the fingers warm. (Unless there is fresh lava nearby!) Plus snow and frost in our equipment! I was once changing a lens on a Nikon, and a chunk of rime frost dropped from a tree right inside the camera!
Being to the land of fire and ice some years ago , what do they do with the fish hanging out to dry , I was there in October and the smell from the fish heads was overwhelming, no disrespect just curious to know . Great video keep it up .
Good question! There is a long tradition for drying fish heads in Iceland. Mostly we use cod and haddock. By drying they can be stored for months. Fish is a healthy food source as you know. The nutritional value of one kilo of dried fish heads is similar to five kilos of fresh fish. Us Icelanders eat a lot of dried fish, but not the heads we eat the fillet. Importation of dried fish into Nigeria from Iceland has been placed at about eighteen thousand metric tons (18MT) annually. The market for dried fish heads is mostly tied to Nigeria. I have never seen an Icelander eat a dried fish head. However - if you go to Iceland, you can buy and should try the dried fillets. They are a delicious health food - not something you can say about most of the healthy foods out there.
Wouldn't the chances of finding the timid little bird be better if one (or two..) were to wear all white? Something as simple like a painters (paper) jumpsuit. Inexpensive and disposable. I believe they're made to go over your existing attire.
The landscape is so serene and calm. These are beautiful birds and very challenging to photograph! Thank you for sharing your adventures!
Nice, very impressive footage! Thumb up! Greetings Thomas

Well at least exposure should be easy white on white . Great adventure nice feather detail. Dog sleigh required for “Camilla & I”
Another great vid. European Starlings up that far also, wow! The auto focus on those cameras lock on the birds in the while it is snowing?

What are winters there 11 months out of a year? Looks miserable.
The summer is about 3 to 4 months. The rest depends on the mood of the weather-gods.
