A few people were confused there were only a few people sitting on as to how pictures could be taken while the back steps of the Art Gallery. I was in it, not noting how I kept on playing with my phone. One of my co-workers asked if he should ask them to move in order to give me a clear shot. I said no, as we still had several minutes to wait and by the time everyone showed up, the people might be done and move along on their own. However, as more staff came out to the plaza, more people (not staff) bought lunches from nearby food trucks and sat on the steps of the Art Gallery to eat. Hmm…this could get interesting if we have to ask 12-15 people to move out of the way. The lunch crowd seemed oblivious to the 130 or so people congregating on the plaza, which is their right, as the plaza is a public place. While we could ask, the people have no obligation to move aside for us. Thankfully, I just recomposed for a little farther back and shot over the heads of everyone sitting on the steps.

The grey cloud is low, and the rain is steady, but the muted light is just perfect for the subject matter all around me, namely waves lapping around the artfully sculpted blocks of ice on the black sand. Now I’ve seen many images of this unique combination before – it’s an Icelandic photographic staple – but there’s no resisting the appeal of such stark, elemental beauty. In fact it’s a beauty that is enhanced by the flat lighting, a cold scene of black and blue with simple graphic appeal. But as so often is the case here in Iceland the conditions are difficult: apart from the rain, salty spray is being driven inshore off the waves and onto my increasingly crusty camera, lens and filter. So be it, such adversity is now familiar.
