Fosshotel Nesbud: Sometimes pushing the journey beyond the next bend in the road is what makes all the difference. At least that is what happened today. It's Thursday in Iceland and the morning threatened rain. Much of the team opted to stay indoors, working on their prints and images for Friday night's slide show. Before the storm hit, Bill Atkinson...
Web Gallery 3 represents a deeper exploration of Iceland, and of Lightroom. These 14 photographers scoured the countryside for compelling images, then processed the pictures using the Develop module in Lightroom. General discussion around the editing table is the the Develop and Print modules are the stars of the application at this point. Most of the photographers were able...
We are at Fosshotel Nesbud, and the weather has gone from good to fantastic. (As you can see by the photo I took this morning shown here.) All the Icelanders want us to stay a few weeks longer: they believe we've pleased the Viking gods with our visit and that explains the first good weather of the summer. I'm exaggerating...
This gallery features the work of Michael Reichmann, John Isaac, Martin Sundberg, Bill Atkinson, Maggie Hallahan and more. Some of these shots just came down from the mountain, literally. Michael and Bill have traveled all across the western countryside looking for their compositions. I finally caught up with them this morning and managed to get a nice collection of...
Fosshotel Reykholt : The adventure is going very smoothly. Everyone on the team is filling their Sandisk cards with great photos and we are quickly getting up to speed using Adobe Lightroom to edit and process and print our images. However, there is one problem: lack of sleep in catching up with me and I'm starting to make stupid mistakes...
This first Adventure Web Gallery represents the perspectives of nine photographers who are immersed in the culture and landscape of the Reykholt area of Iceland. Some of the artists have focused on the expansive landscape, while others examine the intimate details of the countryside. Each photographer begins the process by capturing Raw image data, then organizing and editing the...
Reykholt, Iceland: It's 10 pm and the sky is a brilliant blue and the sun is reflecting off a few high clouds. Obviously the weather is cooperating with our adventure. Yesterday, we left Reykjavik in a blur of action. The entire team and luggage piled into 6 rental cars provided by Hertz and made the 1.5 hour drive across north...
No sooner than the Adventure team congregated in Reykjavik, it was time to head north to Reykholt where we would break into smaller groups to cover more ground. My clan explored the local area including the quiet village Borgarnes. Others traveled much farther, often staying out the entire night to capture the last glow of sunset and the first...
Reykjavik, Iceland: Everyone has safely flown in from all around the globe and the adventure has officially started! Earlier this evening, before the opening presentation by the Icelandic photographer, Sigurgeir Sigurjónsson, and before our elaborate Icelandic dinner hosted by ExpoImaging, I had the honor or welcoming the group and this is what I said: I've been dreaming of this moment...
Enroute to Iceland: Sometimes there isn't a lesson; there is just a story. In this case, it's really a worry. I'm talking about the weather, and so was everyone else I met today as I left Norway for Iceland and the start of the Adobe Lightroom Iceland Adventure. On the train to the Oslo airport strangers bemoaned the hottest summer...
