Photoworkshop

I just recently came home from my trip to Austria and spent a few days at Hùsavík before I went to a photoworkshop with Gígja Einarsdóttir at Þingeyrar.

When this workshop was advertised earlier this winter I thought about joining, talked to Ingólfur about it, thought a bit more and then I really was fast sending Helga an e-mail to enlist for it. I definitely do not regret going there!

It was 4 fantastic days with the probably best horsephotographer in Iceland at the moment. Gígja is doing a great job, had recently an exhibition in Copenhagen, which is going to move to the Worldchampionship for Icelandic Horses in Herning. You can take a glimpse at her work here.

We were 11 ladies and a guy taking part. It was an international group and the participants had a very different background in photography, but Gígja and Helgi took very good care of us, animated us to try new things and showed us how to finish the pics in Photoshop/Lightroom. Helga took care of all the delicious food for us and I think nobody was ever hungry during this workshop.

In the end all of us had to choose 3-5 pics to show to the others. It wasn't easy to choose from more than 2000 pics I took through these 4 days.

I'll put my favourites in an album for you to check out.

So if anybody here in Iceland is interested in getting pics of his/her favourite horse, just contact me. My friends in Austria/Europe maybe should contact Eva, who takes really good pics. Here you find her homepage.
