Iceland is a treasure and popular place for photography and is becoming more popular all the time. Jim has now led photo tours to Iceland for the fifth time and shares highlights from the most recent trip. We were fortunate to once again get the northern lights and even visited an 'ice cave', although the large cave was flooded and we had to settle for a glacier crevasse. All in all, great friends and we enjoyed traveling once again with Magnus who led Jim's previous trip.
Coming up: reviews of the LitraPro, Ronin-S gimbal, DJI Mavic 2 Zoom as well as suggestions for stocking stuffers and a review of The Fotobug 2018 predictions along with predictions for 2019. Stay tuned and please check out and subscribe to The Fotobug YouTube channel!
