No. If you like Icelandic stuff you should visit Iceland, which Nick has done quite a few times already.
Jus' sayin'

The Scottish Islands are well worth a visit, though, regardless of any similarities to other more northern Islands. Less chance of being caught out by a volcano too. ;)

Excellent photos there, Nick. You did well considering the crapness of the lighting.

Would be interesting to see how you manage with harsher tones as per a normal gig.

Indeed. I've always been fascinated by them. Skye, St Kilda, as well as Orkney and Shetland are on my bucket list.

Thanks - I noticed there were several people using flash which I wanted to avoid as I thought it would be too disruptive. Nobody seemed to mind though. I've definitely got the bug and will be back for more at some point, hopefully with better lighting :D

I used a high ISO; from 1600 upwards.

Would be interesting to see you how you fare with a stagelit orchestra - harsh light, strong shadows, shiny instruments, lots of movement and big depth of field.

Just a thought ;)

1600? WTF. most ive ever used was at a foggy car rally I had to use ISO 1000, oddly enough the pics came out perfect, no overexposure, sharp as hell and no noise exept from the cars of course (off course?) :lol:

It looks [LIFTED] when the forum censors it, though.
