Pack your camera and prepare for the journey of a lifetime! Join Leica Store Miami for a photographic adventure to the Snæfellsnes Peninsula and Southern Iceland this Winter. Our own David Farkas went to Iceland in 2015 to review the Leica S (Typ 007) and we've built on his experience by offering this ten-day photography trip around Iceland in a modified 4x4 bus. We'll search for the Northern Lights as we travel to the iconic frozen landscapes of the Snaefellsnes peninsula, Kirkjufell mountain, the black church of Budir, ice caves, the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon, the ice beach and several waterfalls.
Leica experts David Farkas and Peter Dooling from Leica Store Miami along with Icelandic photographer and guide Brynjar Ágústsson, will be on hand to give assistance and advice as you photograph this amazing landscape.
While other cameras are certainly allowed on this trip, the focus is on Leica camera systems and learning how to use them to their full potential. Current owners, as well as those wanting to try Leica gear out for a week of real shooting, are encouraged to attend. We’ll share our favorite tips and tricks so you can get the most out of this exceptional gear.
Why this trip is different
This is not a workshop where you spend most of your daylight shooting hours sitting in a classroom. Why travel to one of the most beautiful and picturesque locations in the world just to be stuck indoors? Instead, we will focus on making the most of each and every day to capture as many great photo opportunities as we can.
To balance out all this shooting and help you get the most out of your images, we will spend some time showing you the secrets of processing Leica DNG files in Adobe Lightroom. Each participant will also receive one-on-one Lightroom instruction with his or her own images to see how much of a difference good post-processing technique can make in your photography.
What to Expect
We will focus on photographing the Northern Lights, ice caves, the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon, the ice beach, and waterfalls. We will be covering a fair amount of ground each day with many stops along the way to get out, explore and shoot.
