COASTAL VIEW

This image was taken along the south-eastern coast of Iceland. We lived in Egilsstadir in East Iceland for one year and therefore drove this road quite often.  We wanted to get this drone for a long time, showing the orange lighthouse on the coast with the majestic mountains in the background, but whenever we stopped it was too windy, to start the drone. But it wasn’t only the wind, there were usually also hundreds of sea birds flying around.

Anyway, we didn’t give up our idea, so every time we drove past this place we stopped and checked. And one day we seemed to have the luck on our side, we got out of the car and realized there are way less birds flying than usual, and furthermore it was calm. We took the chance and started our drone, René was flying, I was just watching around to make sure there are no birds flying to close to the drone. We got the shot we wanted to and flew back safely. When we started to pack everything, the wind slowly picked up. On this day we were on the right place at the right time.
