Visiting a familiar location again, Thomas Heaton takes on the highlands in Iceland

 

 

As we saw earlier this week, travel photographer and educator Thomas Heaton is running a photography workshop in Iceland. Last time we joined him along the coast and today, we're along for the ride in the Icelandic highlands.

The location is particularly interesting because it's a place Heaton visited a year ago, capturing one of his favorite images. Now he's back and he's challenged with finding another great image that's different from his previous shot. While having knowledge of a location from a previous visit offers insight into how best to approach the scene, it can be difficult to not feel somewhat pigeonholed by an earlier successful visit. To make matters more difficult, Heaton wanted to shoot at a long focal length and the winds were just howling, making it harder to get a stable shot. See how it turned out in the video below.
