I decided to ease into my hiking in Iceland adventure by doing a Workaway for the first month. I'm staying in a beautiful town called Akranes with a lovely Icelandic family. I'm working part time in exchange for accommodation and food, and I'm able to test my camping/hiking equipment on my days off. So far only my jacket and sleeping pad are a big failure 😁
The Hubba Hubba tent and phantom sleeping bag have held up in below freezing conditions, so that's a relief 😅
Here are some photos from my first week in Iceland.

I finally got through scanning all of my 4x5 slides and am now scanning all the Ektar. I actually had forgotten there were some compositions I didn't take on slide, and this one was one of them (I did take this in black and white also though).

One of the black churches in Iceland...in color ;) Shot on Provia on 4x5. I don't recall the lens (I have the notes somewhere) but I do recall I used movements for this one and I really like the results. It's probably impossible to see on a tiny Instagram image but the hills are just a bit out of focus nudging the steeple on the left and the church out into the front. I wanted to make sure the doors were tact sharp (they are). The windows are also quite sharp relative to the subtle blurring of the background.

This one is nice in color but I'm actually looking forward to making a black and white print of these or perhaps one of the other churches. Maybe on some Ilford Art 300. I do like the slide version though. And of course looking at slides in person on a light box is so magical!
