Jim: 5 Things I Learned This Week

Difference last trip to this one.  WAY better pictures.

The AF on the Sony A6300 is not as fast as the Fuji XPro2.  X Pro 2 has better autofocus than a DSLR.  First mirrorless camera that has even come CLOSE to that.  Testing with kids.

The Fuji 10-24 is the bane of my existence.  Not on lens roadmap.  Blow drying in hotel.

SOOOO many landscapes are missing the “soul” of the shot.  Include a person, a boat, a cactus, a rock, whatever.

A wet lens ruined two of my favorite compositions

Nick:

Slowing down, and getting accustomed to more time for the shot

Less is more.. I only used two lenses

Pack your coat in your carryon

Nick :  Why every photographer should visit iceland at least once

The light

The light lasts forever this time of year.. Forget about golden hour.. Its more like golden three hour, and the sunsets last forever giving you more time for compositions

The sky is always changing.. Sometimes for the better, sometimes to crush your hopes but it keeps you on your toes and is fun to shoot in.

The people

Everyone speaks english and is very friendly and helpful, they are used to dealing with lost americans

The subjects

The island is just packed with photogenic mountain peaks, glaciers, icebergs and even raindier
