    Fantastic story...

    A few days into your ride I decided to put Iceland on my list.... It's moved it's way closer and closer to the top over the report.

    Great pictures and great write up!!

    To get pics of dropped bikes before someone had time to pick them up, I'm using the Olympus Tough 8010.
    Most pictures were taken with a Pentax K-7 and a 16-45 wide-angle zoom, maybe a polarized or a graduated gray filter.
    Apart from the filter, you can check details in the EXIF data of most photos.

    Excellent report, thanks! Iceland is going to be a country that I do visit someday, even if not by bike.

    For the trip and the report.

    I just saw that one of the vespa is from my town... Iceland is far but the world seems to be little... :rofl

    Hi,

    some of these pics came from my Olympus E-PL2 and from my mobile phone (Nokia N900).
    But I'm still a beginner in photgraphy and this setup will change for the next trip.
