Switzerland Trip Favorites I realized today that I never did a photo blog post about my epic little Switzerland roadtrip I did a little while back [*cough* 2009]. There's a running joke in my family that I either like or dislike a trip based on how the photos turned out...regardless of how the trip actually...
Scotland Glencoe and Rannoch Moor Tanya and I decided last November that a roadtrip around Scotland was in order, after all, the weather was a little too nice in Los Angeles and though I hate snow we should face the things we dislike. With that said we threw everything together and flew from Los Angeles...
Snæfellsnes Peninsula 2010 Iceland Ring-Road Driving Trip The final days of my Iceland roadtrip were spent driving around the Snæfellsnes Peninsula on the Western coastline. For the first time on my trip I had a decent amount of rain which thankfully included really nice dramatic clouds [and not blinding swan-dive off road fog like usual]....

I have a Variable ND filter which I thought was going to be cooler than it was- it ended up distorting the color so much I felt a little iffy about it.

Your photos are amazing! I'll be traveling to Iceland this August and can't wait to see some of these landscapes. What type of ND filter do you use for your daytime long exposures? After seeing some of your images, I'm thinking it's a must have for my trip!

Thanks Chris!

Really beautiful photographs. I find landscape photography difficult because it hard to express depth and space in a 2D image. However, the shots with the waterfalls and solo building structures add such balance to the photograph, and I'm able to have a better understanding of the space. Nice work.

Sadly I didn't, it was actually pretty far away...and the whole super creepy part...

Ok, first - tell me you explored this building (as it looks abandoned and oh so inviting!): http://www.iangrantphotography.com/travel/iceland/driving-snaefellsnes-peninsula-iceland-31.jpg
And I think this one is my favorite out of all your iceland photos!

Loved the whole series -- thanks for sharing! My favs in this post are the black church and the itty bitty dotted white line down the paved roads that look like they are only wide enough for one car anyway. :p

This entire set is fantastic!
The Eastern Fjords, Iceland 2010 Iceland Ring-Road Driving Trip The one place I wish I spent more time in was the Eastern Fjords of Iceland. It happened to be the day that I was going to pull a 6-7 hour drive [more like 9-10] north from Vik to Seyðisfjörður and I found myself stopping and...

These are so nice! I especially like the last two. Thanks for sharing your travels with those of us who may never see it in person.
Iceland Glaciers & Dirt Roads 2010 Iceland Ring-Road Driving Trip This part really centers on the eastern area of Iceland's ring road which is home to many a roadside glacier. It's funny because as your driving along you pass a bend and are like 'wow, that's the most beautiful glacier I've ever seen!' and then...

STUNNING. Thank you for sharing these... wow.
Jökulsárlón, Iceland 2010 Iceland Ring-Road Driving Trip The next day I really needed to take it easy [after eventful car crash/stuck in mud] so I did what any person would do. Go see icebergs! But first I had to go see some awesome waterfalls and play with my new variable ND filter [essentially lets less...

Tanya and I were just having that conversation the other day, Scotland in November should be very very cold. Tanya was trying to sell me on the Caribbean.

Love these, especially the waterfalls and lone houses! But really, it's time for you to go someplace warm already! Time to change up the "Ian goes somewhere cold and nearly freezes to death in a ditch" M.O. to "Ian goes someplace and gets a sunburn." I'm just saying, you need to go to Australia already. :-)
I've been trying to continue my little Los Angeles project whenever I can, and the most recent shoot I did was over in the Venice Beach Canals which is a great little side away from the crazy beach scene over there. About: Venice Beach, California Venice is a district in west Los Angeles, California, United...

Nice work Ian. I especially like the one of the heron's on the boat. Simple and sweet composition. I was looking for stuff for Venice, FL, but happily found your site.
I'll try to feature you in the blog soon.
Thanks,
Rob
