The shoot of Anna (right) was planned, of course. The cyclist entering the scene, and getting a frontal view, wasn’t.
Japanese macaques (macaca fuscata), also known as snow monkeys, like to bathe in the warm water of the natural hot springs. With outside temperatures below freezing and a constant water temperature of 42C, who can blame them? These photogenic animals have become used to humans wanting to photograph them, so they are not shy and stay very relaxed in human presence. This little one however seemed to think ‘Oh no, not again!’ when one of the participants on our workshop tried to take a photograph.
An Ice cave in Vatnajökull ice cap, southern Iceland. Vatnajökull is the largest ice cap in Europe, around 3,100 km³ constanly changing it’s formation. It´s pretty hard to photograph the real depth of the ice inside the caves, but looking into the walls is like an endless 3d depth of blue ice.

Shooting diving cape gannets is not trivial task, they enter water at speed sometimes exceeding 60 km/h, making loud low frequency boom noise, and it took few attempts before relative success.
