Behind the Shot – How Spontaneity Earned Me an Award-Winning Photo

In this month's 'Behind the Shot' blog I want to tell the story behind one of my favourite images, called 'Skýjasnúningur'.

Behind the Shot – The Quest for Mælifell

Mælifell. The name might not ring a bell to those who aren't nature photographers but I'm almost certain everyone has seen this green, almost perfectly cone-shaped, mountain.
