Mission Accomplished

Another beautiful day in paradise. IE solid cloud, rain, gusty winds and very, very cold. So this was obviously another day for waterfalls.

After a 2 hour drive we got to the first falls. Rockstar cautioned everyone to stay near him until he had his shot. We could have whatever scraps we could manage from our inferior angles.

We would then advance as a group to his next shooting position.

I became disenchanted with the scraps on offer and went back to the bus to write this.

When he returned to the bus, soaking wet, even his glasses were dripping. He, announced "Mission Accomplished".

He had successfully retaken all of his previous waterfall shots, but this time with his new 50 megapixel camera.

I came on this photographic expedition and workshop with the naive impression that he would be facilitating and assisting our photography. However, his main focus was clearly on updating his own "stock photos" with his new, higher resolution camera. A sunny day would put him in a bad mood because his primary mission could not be achieved. We were an inconvenience at best.

Find some other photographer if you actually want someone that is there to help you.

Also, if you think you might like to visit Iceland, go to Greenland instead. Two other people had been there before joining us. The Icebergs are bigger, they saw polar bears, and the scenery more dramatic.
