Details: Join Tom and Cree Bol for a magical summer workshop in Iceland. This is the perfect combination of wildlife and landscape photography.

We also spend time photographing Icelandic horses on a remote farm.

Some of the waterfalls we will photograph include: Hraunfossar, Bamafossar, Haifoss, Gjain, Thojofafoss and Seljalandfoss.
