Vik and Reynishverfi's Black Sand Beach, Iceland • Travelling Lens

Vik Church

In my previous blog post, I posted up a HDR shot of the Church in Vik and also the town of Vik. This blog post focuses on the Church, the town of Vik and also the black sand beach. I managed to capture a panorama of the town of Vik by climbing up a hill and shooting from a higher vantage point. After our visit to Vik, we made our way to the very popular (and sometimes deadly) black sand beach. The beach is famous for it’s black sand, basalt columns and giant rock formations in the sea. Unfortunately it has also been known to take lives as the waves along the beach can get quite large at times. There were plenty of warning to tourist to not turn your back to the beach. We spent a bit of time here as the sun was setting, taking long exposure photos and walking along the beach. There was even a fashion shoot going on at the time.
