- Some new locations and one familiar -
In the late winter / early spring of 2023 I connected through Iceland on my way to another destination, and decided to make a week out of my layover and explore some locations I have yet to see. In this video I revisit a familiar church with a roll of black and white film, then explore on to a fascinating sea arch before heading to an iconic mountain scene.

I was wondering where you went after watching a video of yours yesterday. Return of the king.
Ive never seen the Kirkjufell photographed like you've done - Love it 📷👍
Thank you!
Welcome back! I enjoyed the images you created. Thank you for sharing 😊
Excellent work as always, Chris, both images and narration. Always enjoyable!
Thanks so much Bruce!
The Acros II did the church proud.
One of these days they're going to repaint the church bright yellow and photogs around the world are going to have their hair catch fire 😅
Chris, keep the content coming we are still out here looking. Amazing work but I am just really happy to see you enjoying life after where we started.
Love your approach. Awesome location with church.
Thanks so much John!
Great video Chris. The Black Church is high on my bucket list and I'll live through your eyes until I get there myself. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much Al, it really is an interesting place and I hope you get there sooner than later!
Looks like it was a great trip!
The stars must be aligned; this one showed up on day one. That Horseman is sweet. As for that Rodenstock, you sure got a purty lens! ;-)
You’ve got yourself a new subscriber mate. Enjoyed your video, cheers
Beautiful photograph and photography. Such a stark contrast of the icelandic church to those white washed north American ones that stand out against the blue sky. I was looking at the very same camera last year, but decided against it. I convinced myself that inserting the 6X9 back into my MPP MkVII was sufficient.
really like the arch at 9:02 - that would make a cool massive print to see all the details. I actually prefer the low tide view as it shows more of the rocks up close. And great last image too! Much better than the teed up view that's been shot a million times.
Excellent Chris. I’m heading to Iceland mid September so these videos are great inspiration.
Thanks Russ, hope that trip is a success! September was a really great time to be there last year
Always a joy to see you've got something new for us, Chris. And once again, you leave us with no disappointment. Thanks for your wonderful eye for detail.
I was thinking we might have to get search and rescue out to find you, and then, viola. With a 6x9 Horseman no less! You must've known I've been gassing over the Fuji 690s. And now this. Thanks a lot. Exceptional images once again. Looking forward to both the next Iceland video as well as your next stop (I have an idea, but mum's the word).
Very nice Chris. I liked the BW shot of the arch a lot. The 14 mm shot of the mountain really surprised me. I wouldn't have expected you could recover the mountains size so well. That is a great trick to try.
Superb.
Was just thinking of you over the weekend, and BOOM! Worth the wait, as always.
I hope the Horseman has held up right through the trip, and you don’t have any teething light leaks or cable gremlins. Looking forward to the next parts. I’m trying to think where you’re transiting too, but sure it will be spectacular (and bet myself five bucks it’s Svalbard ;-) )
Very interesting video. The photos were wonderful & I appreciate your dedication to work in the cold. I am too used to the the heat & humidity to endure that. It is 9 pm where I live & 85 degrees.
Your last shot is quite stunning, I have seen many shots of this mountain but yours with the cracked ice in the front is probably the one I prefer the most. I do not remember seeing one like that, quite a unique view you caught
I just subscribed to your channel due to your iceland / northern europe videos. there are many amazing places for landscape photography in europe, continue like so!
Thank you! I agree completely, and I hope to photograph as many as I can!
In my opinion the Horseman VH is an overlooked camera, I have bought one two years ago because it fits perfectly to my needs, fantastic built quality, very low weight and in principle plenty possibilities for adjustment. A 65 mm. Is slightly tricky to handle but it works all very nice. It is very seldom that an experienced large format photographer decides to give it a fair chance ! Really looking forward to see you working with it! Kind regards, Arie Bood
Thanks Arie, I totally agree. It's such a cool little camera yet I haven't seen anyone shooting with them. Especially for travel, it was perfect for throwing in the luggage!
Hey thanks for the review is the VH, l have been considering getting that or a VH-R. Great photography
Thanks James, it’s been a really fun little camera!
Epic return to the vlogging. Great Arty photos. Canon R5 (jealous) ! Splashing out on new photo equipment I see did you get a few backs for the Horseman? Loved the black and white 'Stargate' photo with the detail in the archway 😁
really nice images of Iceland. well done. thank you.
Some really stunning images Chris. Looks like you had a super productive stop over in Iceland.
Good to see you back and the Ice and pointy mountain work well, and the church, and the arch. Surely that wasn't 15 minutes long, it flew by!
Fine work sir who does the analog pro.
Thank you for the video since you have used both the film and digital, can you say something about the way you take the digital B&W and your process to match your film tonality , i am not satisficed with my B&W digitally.
Thanks so much Sajjad, I certainly know what you mean. For the most part it’s really about getting enough contrast, in my opinion anyway. Its really easy for the digitals to look flat, so I usually find I need to set both a black point and a white point, in other words I bring the blacks down until nearly clipping, and same with bringing the whites up. From there it’s a case of playing with mid-tone contrast using either curves or the contrast slider until you get the balance you’re after.
Hey Chris, Just came across your channel. You doing great job with these videos. Nice job on the photography as well. @starling.in.austin
Thanks so much Dan!
