Plane Wreck

Description

Went through a few more Iceland photos again.
Here's another shot of the Plane Wreck from a different angle, taken using an ND Graduated filter and processed a little in Lightroom to get more of the moody shot that it felt like while we were there.

We came here to take photos of the plane (which I believe is a US Navy plane that crashed here in the 1970's after running out of fuel) and the coast at sunset, but ash being blown from the mountains (left over from the previous volcano eruption) blocked out the sun leaving almost everything in different shades of grey.

This was our only visit here, so I took a few shots from some different angles and got a couple I liked, but the lighting wasn't good enough for shots of the coast - and due to the ash, it got dark very quickly.

After a bit of offroading up and down the dunes on the coast, we went back to the hotel a short drive away - and almost as soon as we stepped out the super jeep, the Northern Lights started and danced around the skies for at least 5 hours.

I believe this plane was in a Topgear episode.
