Details: Join Tom and Cree Bol for a magical November workshop in Iceland. With clear skies at night we will photograph the aurora over beach scenes with glowing icebergs. During the day we will explore frozen waterfalls, ice caves and Icelandic horses in their winter coats. During November the sun stays low on the horizon creating a continuous low-angle golden hour. This will be perfect for photographing frozen waterfalls, ice caves and Icelandic horses in their winter coats. November has milder temperatures and the lowest average cloud cover for winter months.
