and I'm trying to understand your post Both of these threads were sensational.

Yes, I had a small tripod for the waterfall shots and a 10-stop neutral density filter... and yep the Sony RX100 is pretty much one of the best point-and-shoots out there with DSLR-like quality

Did you have a guide to take you all around the island? Looks like you covered a lot of ground.

It's landscapes and density of variety in landscapes is quite spectaular!

The horses and sheep are allowed to roam and graze during the warmer months but I think are held in stables during the winter. And actually, they're winters are slightly warmer than New York's, it's just that their summers never get that warm (highs of 50s and 60s)

We just rented a car and followed a pre-planned itinerary :-).. We pretty much went everywhere, even the rarely-visited West Fjords, which were spectacular!

Beautiful place and photography. Can't wait to visit soon.

Absolutely stunning scenery, and great photographs. The lack of trees provides for dramatic vistas.

Iceland looks amazing. It makes me imagine what Hawaii would look like if it was a lot farther north.
