Kiddi Kristjáns' photostream  

From yesternight's trip to the southern most part of Iceland (close to Eyjafjallajökull/Katla). This is Otto, waiting for his exposure to finish. I promised him I would, for once, upload something soon instead of waiting a few months before processing&uploading my stuff. So here it is! Fresh, not a day old. Taken with my all-time favourite aurora lens, the very old Zeiss F-Distagon 16mm fisheye f/2.8. I have many more great shots from that night & the following day, but you'll probably have to wait a few months 8-)

Took a short trip outside the city in the few days I had off work between christmas eve & the new years. This is close to one of Iceland's biggest tourist attractions, The Blue Lagoon - an almost mystical, otherworldly natural spa where people can go and relax like they've never relaxed before - on another planet! The photo doesn't fake or exaggerate, it really is blue like this. There's an old song from the icelandic band Gusgus that I often think about when I'm out driving around the country - it makes me think of surreal places like this.

Happy New Years! I wish you much happiness and well being in 2012. My new years resolution is to work less and shoot more (and lose some weight). What's yours?

Photo was shot outside my apartment in Reykjavik, near midnight. Shot with a new family member, the Olympus OM Zuiko 18mm f/3.5 with an EOS adapter. An old rarity with legendary status amongst alt-nuts like myself that will hopefully see some proper use in the year 2012 :)

This is our 3rd christmas card featuring our little baby girl. I wonder how old my daughter will be once she finally demands I stop making these christmas cards with her in them. The words are in Icelandic and they're saying "Gleðileg jól" which means "Merry christmas", so, merry christmas to you :-)

This shoot wasn't planned at all, I was shooting photos of friends on a white background and this was one of the outtakes from where my darling little daughter stepped into the light. She loves modelling! We had planned to do another shoot for our christmas card, and do it properly with props, but as usual when you're in advertising, time is of short supply right before christmas.

See my previous christmas cards of my daughter, the one from 2009 and 2010.

I've lived in the same place for 6 years now and I never grow weary of the view, it's new every single day. Living in Iceland gives us photographers many, many "golden hours" during each day. I was picking my 2.5yo baby girl up from kindergarden recently at around 15:00 when the sun was setting, and the view was just spectacular. This is where our President lives, taken from 3.6km distance with a 300mm lens. No photo processing or enhancements, SOOC.
