Cloud Carnival

Dramatic landscape panorama titled "Cloud Carnival" at Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, Iceland. Spectacular cloud formations over drifting icebergs. Captured by Jan Smid, Master QEP, during a 2015 photo expedition. High-end fine art photography.

Jökulsárlón. A mandatory stop for all landscape photographers in Iceland. I prayed for at least some decent conditions here. In the end, it didn't turn out too bad, although I would need to hire seals to bring me some icebergs to the shore. But they just stared at me from the water and didn't bother to work. However, I returned to the lake at night, and it rewarded me with an incredible display of the Northern Lights...

Panorama compiled from total of 6 frames (3-level exposure bracketing of 2 frames in one row).

Equipment: Nikon D810A
