It’s no secret that I really like canines, pictures, and touring. So when two of my favourite canine photographers on the earth, Craig Turner-Bullock and Charlotte Reeves announce they’re internet hosting a workshop with Alicja Zmyslowska in Iceland, I apply to see if I can get in.
I used to be accepted and so was my touring canine photographer good friend Audrey Cox of Sunsets Unleashed.
Audrey and I met in 2016 at one other canine pictures workshop Barcelona in Spain. We hit it off and over time have develop into nice pals.
Since then, we traveled collectively quite a few occasions to {photograph} canines in California, Oregon, Washington, New York, and Vancouver British Columbia in Canada.
Our touring periods are known as “on Tour” so I’m BARKography on Tour and she or he’s Sunsets Unleashed on Tour. We’ve even traveled to the identical places a number of occasions and now have repeat purchasers in Seattle and Vancouver.
I’ve mentioned it earlier than and I’ll say it once more. This pictures job of mine has given me so many surprising presents and being about to journey around the globe and {photograph} canines is a large one.
Again to our Iceland journey: Audrey determined to fly to Charlotte to go to for a couple of days after which we flew to Iceland 5 days earlier than the workshop.
We needed to regulate to the time change and see the nation. We in fact additionally scheduled a photograph shoot with a neighborhood canine coach Doreen Ebelt who in fact I discovered on Instagram.
That is Doreen’s water loving canine Floki. It’s Iceland so it rained on our method to the shoot. Floki didn’t care and he acquired much more set when his mother tossed a stick into the pond. I’ve already posted 2 pictures of him on my Instagram web page utilizing #wetdogwednesday. ha
After wandering across the capitol metropolis of Reykjavik (sure I now know easy methods to spell it with out autocorrect), happening a day lengthy guided tour, photographing horses at Icelandic Horseworld, and happening a 10pm-midnight boat tour to see the Northern Lights, we joined the workshop which was positioned close to Vik.
The workshop included 4 picture shoots in a few of south Iceland’s most scenic places.
Now most of those places I can’t pronounce even after they’re mentioned to me a number of occasions. I saved telling Audrey I needed to report her making an attempt to pronounce them as a result of it was fairly entertaining.
Icelandic phrases have numerous consonants together with ok’s and r’s.
We photographed 14 Icelandic canines. I’ll do one other weblog that may go into extra element about every of those picture shoots and places after I’ve completed all of my Lightroom and Photoshop modifying. I’m nonetheless modifying as a result of I took round 6000 pictures on this journey. I used to be there 12 days so I’m truly feeling fairly good about solely taking 6000. Proper?
