Background information about Iceland from Above

Every chance to shoot Iceland from a helicopter is an unforgettable privilege. As the wilderness unfolds beneath you, you not only get an unmatched perspective of the landscapes, but you can marvel over their unexpected diversity. This is particularly the case in the Highlands, where the forces of ice and fire have shaped natural wonders beyond the imagination.
Volcanic deserts surround verdant oases and moss-covered mountains; rivers flow in great networks through valleys, while glaciers cap the peaks year-round; many areas are dyed vivid colors by geothermal forces, others as lifeless as the surface of another planet.
I sought a composition that included as many of these unique and distinct environments as possible, and the only way to attain one was from the sky. This image, I believe, does the job perfectly. A row of vivid mountains run in a range from the center, their height and snow cover increasing the further back you look until they blend into the white snows of a distant glacier, which in turn merges with the clouds above. To their left, mossy slopes end abruptly into a field of barren lava.
To their right, a black sand valley split by veins of water contrasts with their vibrance. Though all the features were present, getting the right height and angle in the chopper took a fair amount of navigating; furthermore, significant cloud cover kept the landscapes dark and dulled their color. Finally, we reached an optimal position at an optimal time, as the skies opened in several places, illuminated spotlights on swathes of the landscapes that further added to the dramatic contrasts seen in Iceland from above.

Product details
State Of The Art Technology For Extreme Resolution
Iurie | Fine Art Acrylic Prints are printed seamlessly in the highest quality and mounted under acrylic glass. These Luxury Fine Art prints have outstanding detail reproduction and long-lasting colours. Using elastic silicone to mount the piece under highly transparent 4mm acrylic glass gives your photograph unbeatable depth and incomparable contrast. Acrylic glass is light, shatterproof and resistant to temperature fluctuations.
This process offers a clean, gallery-quality presentation and modern look that will dramatically enhance any private home or business facility. Fine Art prints produced this way show incredible visual depth and an almost 3d quality full of high definition details, beautiful tonal transitions and incredibly vibrant colors. Light that falls across and reflects off of the face of artwork is visually "trapped" within the acrylic glass and when properly lit, appears to be illuminated or back-lit.
Iurie | Fine Art produces photo prints on Lumachrome or Fuji Flex paper using modern laser exposure techniques and a traditional developing process. We guarantee 100 years of colour brilliance for our original photo prints.
