Snapshot: Iceland Lava Field

Weather changes in Iceland like Lady Gaga changes hats.  While driving, we found ourselves often stopping to grab light.

Despite the rain, we stopped at this lava field to take some quick photographs before our equipment became too saturated.

Rain gear for your cameras and lenses is a must in Iceland, especially if your camera is not the professional class with weather seals.

Rainy conditions can be great for this type of atmospheric photography because the vegetation is more saturated, contrast is reduced, and you often get those great skies.
