An iceberg at Diamond Beach in Iceland

Diamond beach in Iceland owns its name to the chunks of icebergs floating ashore which look exactly like diamonds on the black sand beach. Breiðamerkursandur is the icelandic name, but I think diamond beach is much easier to pronounce! An amazing place to visit. Combine it with a beautiful sunrise and it becomes magical! At […]

Eystrahorn mountain in Iceland

Eystrahorn is another epic mountain, located on the south east coast of Iceland, very close to Vestrahorn. There were far less people here though, just another photographer. However it is very easy to get there due to its proximity to the Ring Road. Some people refer to it as a hidden Icelandic gem! Here you […]

Kirkjufell reflection

However if you explore the area a little, and the weather allows it, you can find a perfect reflection of the mountain. Just look around for photographers with tripods! We were lucky enough to have no wind […]

Black church of Budir in Iceland

The black church of Budir, named Búðakirkja, stands out of the surrounding landscape thanks to its color. It is painted black with pitch to protect it from the harsh Icelandic weather. Its black color makes a wonderful contrast to the cloud mountains in the background. Although it is isolated this place is popular for weddings […]

This is a small village named Agia Paraskevi locat This is a small village named Agia Paraskevi located at Chalkidiki. I was going back home from shooting the milky way at another location when I thought to stop here and give a try at this shot I had in my mind for a long time now. It came out pretty decent but I think I’ll have to come back again when the milky way is at a better position.

As far as I remember myself I have always been int As far as I remember myself I have always been intrigued by the night sky. A thing that I loved while spending my summers away from the city was that I could see the stars and the milky way. Till now, whenever I have the opportunity, I enjoy going out at night to view the milky way. By bringing my camera together I can also photograph the stars and see the milky way in a way I couldn't image.

Two posts ago I mentioned that I was out trying to Two posts ago I mentioned that I was out trying to shoot the Perseids meteor shower but the sky got covered in clouds because of a thunderstorm. I packed my things up but didn’t return home. Instead I headed towards the opposite direction where the sky was clear. I managed to get one more shooting star along with the milky way core in one of my favorite locations in Chalkidiki. I was planning to shoot the milky way here for a long time now but there is a bar there whose lights never allowed me to do so. Well this summer was a bit different and all bars were closing early so I finally got the shot I wanted with a shooting star as a bonus!

That night I had no plans to go out and take photo That night I had no plans to go out and take photos. However when I saw the sky getting illuminated by lightnings I couldn’t resist. I grabbed my camera, jumped into my car and headed towards the lightnings. There was a severe thunderstorm pretty far away. The place in the photo is somewhere at Larisa I believe (does anyone recognize it?), and I was at Chalkidiki. The distance was covered by the thunderstorm pretty quickly but I managed to get some shots!

The initial plan of the night was to enjoy and pho The initial plan of the night was to enjoy and photograph the Perseids meteor shower. Beforehand I had calculated the radiant so I knew exactly where I had to point my camera. But the weather had an amazing surprise. After a while a thunderstorm broke out over the city of Marmaras at Sithonia. I was lucky it didn’t come towards me but clouds started filling the sky. I managed to shoot a pretty big Perseid meteor and some smaller ones before the clouds filled my frame. In fact I think this was a much better result!
