Since we were cruising the south/west part of Iceland, we had to drive quite a lot. This meant that we could not be everywhere at the same time, i.e. at the best lighting conditions. So when against midday we crossed a river where thousands of Northern Gannets (Jan-van-Gent) were feeding, my first thought was ‘sh*t’ , as in ‘how to deal with this harsh light’. On the upside, shutter speed was not a problem this time. I spent some 30 minutes enjoying the enormous splashed these birds make when diving for fish. Couldn’t make a descent shot of that action though (very unpredictable) – but left with many flight shots. Also in this blog some other species that we saw on many different places.

Je hebt daar wel de hele mooie soorten vogels gezien en kunnen fotograferen. Jammer dat je net niet die duikvluchten van de JvG-en kon vastleggen, maar met deze flightshots zou ik ook erg tevreden zijn.
Gr,
