This week I am going for an image that I shot during a 2022 photography trip to Iceland. We were shooting in somewhat challenging conditions, due to wind and rain; also the light wasn’t great, but the scenery was still stunning! As we had been photographing the Vatnajökull glacier for a while, I packed up my camera and tripod before the trek back to the van.

Taking back a different route, I looked back and saw this scene…

As I didn’t feel like setting up for another shot, I took a couple of snaps with my iPhone, the last of which resulted in the above image. There is just enough color to provide some contrast with the murky, muddy meltwater pond.

It just goes to show that sometimes, we just have to get lucky!
