In December we proposed a photo skills contest that tested the detective work of photo enthusiasts.

Dennis from Ottawa won a live critique session. Good news as he is starting a photo business – it is always good to share views and work as it strengthens everyone involved.

The answwers:

1.Q “Describe the technique, lens & shutter speed used to capture this Reykjavik home:”

A – This photo was taken at a slow shutter speed such as 1/15th of a second requiring a small aperture like f16. The photo was shot while walking swiftly and steadily. A wide angle lens (14mm) was used on a DX sized (ie small) sensor.

2. Q “Where in Iceland would you go to photograph spectacular waterfalls?”

A – Practically everywhere!

3. Q “Are there opportunities in Iceland to photograph spectacular bird life?”

A YES! Iceland has some stunning birding opportunities. We will be visiting Stykkisholmur to spend time photographing birds on our Icelandic Photo Tour.

Congratulations Dennis!
