UPDATE: I now have a gallery of Iceland images
I’ve already posted some images from my super Iceland trip with the wonderful Lulu Lockhart in a post in April and December, and I’ve edited some more images. so here they are.
This was taken from above in the mossy lava fields, a fisheye lens was used but because Lulu is in the centre she isn’t really distorted.
It was amazing seeing steam at 100 degrees right next to snow at 0 degrees, right alongside the very sulphurous rocks.
This was taken very near to Hekla, an active volcano. We drove past the road signs saying that an eruption is overdue and that a 60 minute SMS warning would be sent to all people in the area when an eruption was detected. It was an interesting set!
Another shot in the mossy lava fields, I felt the background worked well here instead of a sky.
There is a meeting of two continents in Iceland, and you get huge rifts of rock such as these,
I’ve posted a couple of shots at this waterfall, but there are so many great ones.
It was summer so sadly we could not get to the icebergs, but the glacier still made a superb background.
And these rocks are supposed to be trolls turned to stone according to one of the local myths.
I’m thinking of returning to Iceland in 2018, if any photographers are interesting in joining me on a joint shoot do message me.
Iceland is such am amazing location it’s like another planet. When I look through all the great images from our shoot there it makes me realise why I work with Lulu so much, as if I needed reminding, thank you Lulu – Queen of Iceland :)

Great images Tim and Lulu!
Cheers Joe :)
Wonderful post as always, Mr Pile. I always enjoy the travel nature of your photography as well. It always reminds me
the world is more interesting than I often imagine on a daily basis. (I’ve been reading about the Laki eruption of 1783)
I think your photography deserves a soundtrack when displayed. Or maybe the music it creates in the viewer’s head is
enough.
Thank you, as always, for your well thought out comment Mr Pope :) I enjoy producing my images, and if somebody else enjoys them as well, then that’s double the pleasure for me :)
Well done Tim, I have going to Iceland for 55 years and still find many beautiful places where no one goes on the tourist trail, particularly in the NE Fjords and north and East. Recently on an 8 hour drive I only saw 2 vehicles. But your photos are adding significantly to an already beautiful;landscape.
I know now of your interest in your models. You have taken some beautiful photos of my friend Katy (Cee). Now no longer modelling, she is a very successful business woman marketing her own products, and is a mother of a beautiful 5 month old son.
Thanks for your kind words Ken. It is an amazing place and I hope to return next year.
Say hi to Katy for me please, one of my all-time favourite models, and one of my biggest regrets is not working with her more when she was modelling :)
