"On the flight, I couldn't decide if I wanted to sleep or stay awake, so I took some sleeping pills and chugged a 5 hour energy and just let them battle it out in my system"
Really enjoyed, brings back memories of my Iceland trip. So, imagine you’re driving the Ring road in one of those RV’s. Remember how narrow the roads were, mostly without a shoulder and you’re thinking, man,if I go off the road its going to be quite the ride.... Driving down the road at about 80 km/h and BOOM! Crap, I got a flat..? And just so happen to be coasting up to a pull off. Good. Get out and take a look. I’m missing a WHEEL! Gulp. That was a closer call than I thought. Call the RV place and they dispatch a mechanic and we get to meet the only man in Iceland that doesn’t speak english. Cobbles together a repair (we found the wheel in a field behind us) but we spend the night in a hotel parking lot waiting for the new RV to be brought to us. Have the best meal ever in the attached restaurant. Had smoked salmon starter that the owner smoked in the yard behind his house and the most ridiculously good hamburger I can remember. Carry on.
Love that you use different shutter sounds for your digital and film shots. Little details on top of your great humor and personality make this channel one of my favorites 🤙
Holy shit this feature length documentary is the perfect way to spend my Saturday morning. Also despite your sins on digital, you shot on the sacred Contax T2. Your sins are forgiven.
The bird sculpture is part of Todd McGrain's Lost Bird Project. He placed a bird sculpture in my hometown of Elmira NY. The placement of his sculptures mark the last know place the particular bird had been sighted before it's extinction.
12:47 - I keep coming back to this video to find my favorite part, because it is my FAVORITE photography video. No one seems to know where they're going or what they're doing, but the little "just do it" motion from the guy in the blue before you head in is amazing.
What. A. Video. Not a single second that wasn't funny, inspiring, or just straight up chill. The 51 people who disliked the video probably thought it was too short! Keep it up, we love these series!
This is one of the best youtube travel photography videos I've seen, and i watch a LOT of these channels. The vibe is relaxed, you humor is on point, and the mix of video and stills is excellent.
I think I finally understood why your channel is so attractive besides your rugged good looks and quality photos. You are very original with your content and who you are. Your'e just deciding to take us on a ride with the unique places you stumble upon. No special guest needed, just a cool guy with a camera. Don't lose that uniqueness!
This has to now be one of my favourite phtography videos on youtube. A blissful hour of a stunning place, your amazing photography and as always hilarious outlook on it all. Thanks Jason !
My grandfather owns with his brothers the land that the super blue waterfall is on (and the waterfall) and your videos make me miss them a lot. As this waterfall has gained a lot of attention in the last few years I get a very strange feeling watching all these UA-camrs walking in "my" backyard. Anyway, love your videos as always man
Thank you for this long-ass video. I visited Iceland just some weeks ago and it was really nice to see it again. Took me back to my holidays really fast!
I LOVE this video! I have been shooting for 40 years and it is about the talent, the way the photographer see the world NOT to camera. You work is absolutely FIRE!
I like all your videos, and after avoiding the super long ones, now prefer them. This one is by far my favorite now though. Hoping you go back, and if you do, solicit a few rolls from us, cause Sony is for blu-ray.
Never a dull moment in your videos. Dark humor and a travel vlog all rolled into one? Yes, please. Also, loved how you did the ring twice. As someone who's never been to Iceland, it really helped perspectivize your itinerary and commit those places to memory as a viewer.
The best photographers video on Iceland, the overrun paradise as your Contax images tell/show a different/better story. Thank you for investing your time for us. Stuart
I love your post processing on your photos...as well as the comparison of film vs digital. One of the best videos on Iceland travels out there! I went last January. Must go now in September!
I love the colours in your imagery. I know you're film focused and I won't ask for presets or anything, but I wanted to say thank you for inspiring a new take on some of my photography. Also, your humour (two Canadian identifiers in one comment) is spot on.
Was just there in July... out of all the vlogs I've seen of Iceland, you captured the most realistic picture. It's the closest of how it truly is there, but with a twist of nostalgia. Really enjoyed watching you video.
One of those occasions where I feel jealous as well as overjoyed watching watching 3 weeks spent in that place crammed in a one-hour video. Really great work, thanks for taking the time sharing your trip and meticulously crafting this video.
@grainydays ... This is by far the best of your videos .... Iceland is on my to do list. New Zealand has been done several times (Rotorua is best for your sulfur loving nostrils), and I've just returned from a quick trip to Norway and I'll definitely return there. Loved your shots, and the video so much.
Wish I was into film when I went to Iceland. It's such an otherworldly place that just begs to be photographed. Great video 👍 This video brings me right back to my trip. Thankyou!!
Oh I have to check your great travel photo again under this covid situation to breath. Iceland looks so beautiful but I do understand that my gear need water proof grade. Thank you for your vid. Let me know when you have a chance to come to Japan... maybe in several years later.
It's June in Tennessee and I'm looking for ice and cloudy skies to shoot, ha! Thanks for stoking the internal flames of my photo passion furnace! Great little docu-journey!
Just started filming here in Iceland few months ago and there are so many amazing locations. And the coolest part is that they look so different each season!
I always wanted more of ur videos, but I didn't expect it to be an hour long. Wait I'll bring my coffee mug nd get blessings from the film camera gods and continue watching.
Hot damn! We must have just missed each other. I was there 9/12-9/17. Your film shots are making me even more anxious to get my scans back! Nice work as always man. 🤙🏻
I came from Iceland five months ago .. I thought it's was beautiful but when I have seen your video I discovered that it's the most beautiful .. I am going to visit it again .. thank you
The first video I've seen that makes me want to go to Iceland. Seems to show a different side of the island. Love the processed digital shots. Inspiring indeed.
I never thought I'd watch a one hour video from start to finish but I didn't even notice how the time passed. Please keep making amazing content like this, the pictures are gorgeous.
Can we all take time to appreciate the attention to detail for the shutter sound of each pic, how he differentiates the digital shutter sound from the film shutter sound! Great video man, I enjoyed every second!
Thanks for your extensive footage of Iceland. I was there 78 in Reykjavik. I got up to the observation deck in the cathedral. The landscape is a volcanic wonderland
I just discovered your channel. It's been years that I want to go to Iceland. I am a French physics student broke af. But as soon as I finish my PhD, I will go to Iceland for at least a month. Thank you for your wonderful video, hope to live the same thing later.
Well we’re 17 days in and I’m going to call it.... the best channel I’ve found in 2020... it all started with you 44-2 video for me and now after an hour of this... you win! I know you probably hate answering these kind of questions but could you list your digital kit? I saw a 70-200 and a 24 possibly maybe also a 50? I just travelled Bali with a 24 and a 105. Schizophrenic I know! Hahaha
I'm so glad I watched this one months after having found (and subscribed to) your channel. Had I watched this first, your later videos featuring photos of generic urban/desert decay would've puzzled me mightily. Instead I realize that you're capable of well-framed, moody landscapes ( Iceland being fish in a barrel for those kinds of images) and just prefer to take pictures of dilapidation. And that's cool, we like what we like. I don't watch for the photography, it's the deadpan commentary that keeps me coming back.
you got me with the Doritos observation :') I also miss Cool American dearly! your writing is hilariöööss and your editing & photography is phenomenal. the 2.25% beer is also the most classic tourist mistake you can make and you fell for it coming over for the second time! 😂 you've made yet another Icelander living abroad homesick! watching this was an hour well spent 👌 mad props dude
The Ooigawa railway goes over a kind of horseshoe river bend like that in Shizuoka, Japan. And apparently the railway is a rare type called "rack rail" that can go up steeper grades.
Can’t believe that I watched the whole video ,and I didn’t fall asleep ! love your share! funny thing is the subtitles recognized the rain as applause.
A one hour Iceland extravaganza I am so pumped
You are always pumped. lol
I have always wanted to go to iceland, maybe live there, you make me want it even more after this
"On the flight, I couldn't decide if I wanted to sleep or stay awake, so I took some sleeping pills and chugged a 5 hour energy and just let them battle it out in my system"
Greatest moment of commentary of the entire hour
This is the way lol
American looks at waterfalls and struggles with names for 1 hour.
Really enjoyed, brings back memories of my Iceland trip. So, imagine you’re driving the Ring road in one of those RV’s. Remember how narrow the roads were, mostly without a shoulder and you’re thinking, man,if I go off the road its going to be quite the ride.... Driving down the road at about 80 km/h and BOOM!

Have the best meal ever in the attached restaurant. Had smoked salmon starter that the owner smoked in the yard behind his house and the most ridiculously good hamburger I can remember. Carry on.
Can we all appreciate how with each photo he includes the background scenery noise? It makes the presentation 10000% awesome
likewise in my vids, check them out
An hour video - daring to go where no man in the incredibly niche film community on UA-cam has dared to go before. Legend.
Love that you use different shutter sounds for your digital and film shots. Little details on top of your great humor and personality make this channel one of my favorites 🤙
Holy shit this feature length documentary is the perfect way to spend my Saturday morning.
Also despite your sins on digital, you shot on the sacred Contax T2. Your sins are forgiven.
hahaha
One of the rare times I'm not complaining that a video is one hour.
Perfect to watch on a 405 commute
@@fabiodoublebroad5389 especially when you're the driver
I'm 13 minutes in and just realized this is an hour long. This is amazing. Actually amazing.
Me too, man
we're so used to see those 10-15min short, condensed youtube videos that when we see an hour long film like this we get all HYPED.
Douglas what are you doing here hahaha
The bird sculpture is part of Todd McGrain's Lost Bird Project. He placed a bird sculpture in my hometown of Elmira NY. The placement of his sculptures mark the last know place the particular bird had been sighted before it's extinction.
“We had truly unlocked a real life side quest.”😂 These side quests are truly one of the most memorable aspects of travel.🤘
How did I get here when the video had no views.
Edit: just finished watching the video and this has to be one of the best videos I’ve ever watched
I've watched this 3 times now, you have successfully taken up 3 hours of my life and I've enjoyed every second.
12:47 - I keep coming back to this video to find my favorite part, because it is my FAVORITE photography video. No one seems to know where they're going or what they're doing, but the little "just do it" motion from the guy in the blue before you head in is amazing.

Helping with my extreme homesickness as an Icelander living abroad. Cant believe I lived there for 20 years and never tried that smoothie...
The drop bears in Australia will totally mess you up. That Aussie bar tender has legit bear phobia. Amazing video. Love the long format.
"GET GEORGE FROM NEGATIVE FEEDBACK TO NOTICE ME" 😂
Your totally deadpan delivery of every single line is sending me right now, 4 minutes in and I'm subbed. Bless your soul
This is one of the best youtube travel photography videos I've seen, and i watch a LOT of these channels. The vibe is relaxed, you humor is on point, and the mix of video and stills is excellent.
“It should be called the Land of sheep, they’re everywhere”
*montage of non sheep pics* 😂
Also I think that title is already claimed by New Zealand 😃

I come here to admire how good this dude is at photography and how i know nothing about using film cameras...

Great video and photos..... but Matt McConaughey would be pissed that you expected to see Matt Damon (who was not in 'Interstellar'!😂🤦🏼♂)
Your videos are always top notch, but this is one of my faves! Definitely convinced me to go back to Iceland :D
Your deadpan humor slays and your photos are dope. I’m a fan
The digital shots are downright gorgeous!! Lee filter FTW! Probably my new favorite video

The best laid-back Iceland travel vlog I have ever watched!!!! Makes me wanna teleport to Iceland right now!
Was just there in July... out of all the vlogs I've seen of Iceland, you captured the most realistic picture. It's the closest of how it truly is there, but with a twist of nostalgia. Really enjoyed watching you video.
the simulation of blue lagoon >>>
Been to Iceland several times; Fall, Winter, and Summer. You've captured it nicely. Really enjoyed it. Thanks!
One of those occasions where I feel jealous as well as overjoyed watching watching 3 weeks spent in that place crammed in a one-hour video. Really great work, thanks for taking the time sharing your trip and meticulously crafting this video.
Just discovered your channel. This video makes me miss Iceland so damn much. I hate you for that, but love you as well.
Beautiful images! I would have been so disappointed if only the film images were what I had made from this trip....digitals were amazing!
I bloody love your deadpan delivery with an excellent sense of humour - your gritty photos are half bad either
@grainydays ... This is by far the best of your videos .... Iceland is on my to do list. New Zealand has been done several times (Rotorua is best for your sulfur loving nostrils), and I've just returned from a quick trip to Norway and I'll definitely return there.

This video brings me right back to my trip. Thankyou!!
just wanted to say I really appreciate the effort you put into making this.
The best and most comprehensive Iceland video on UA-cam! Well done man!
Oh I have to check your great travel photo again under this covid situation to breath.
Iceland looks so beautiful but I do understand that my gear need water proof grade.
Thank you for your vid.
Let me know when you have a chance to come to Japan... maybe in several years later.
It's June in Tennessee and I'm looking for ice and cloudy skies to shoot, ha! Thanks for stoking the internal flames of my photo passion furnace! Great little docu-journey!
This is the best photography/travel film I’ve ever watched in my pathetic 25 years on earth
I'm so glad I found your channel man. I didn't know film could be so beautiful, so serene. Love this.
Just started filming here in Iceland few months ago and there are so many amazing locations. And the coolest part is that they look so different each season!
Amazing. Love that this is an hour long. My man, glad you had fun dude.
Wait... one hour... yeah let’s get some popcorn ready.
I always wanted more of ur videos, but I didn't expect it to be an hour long.
Wait I'll bring my coffee mug nd get blessings from the film camera gods and continue watching.
Hot damn! We must have just missed each other. I was there 9/12-9/17. Your film shots are making me even more anxious to get my scans back! Nice work as always man. 🤙🏻
I just found this channel and I love it. It's like watching Kipp from Napoleon Dynamite give commentary on a photography trip.
Fantastic vid man! And the difference between the sony shutter firing and the contax firing is subtle but sublime.
Finally had some time to sit down and watch this one!! loved it!!
The fact you used two different shutter/advance sounds for the film photos and DSLR photos is so pleasing
I came from Iceland five months ago .. I thought it's was beautiful but when I have seen your video I discovered that it's the most beautiful .. I am going to visit it again .. thank you
Probably my 4 or 5th time watching this gem. The sarcasm and pictures are golden
The first video I've seen that makes me want to go to Iceland. Seems to show a different side of the island. Love the processed digital shots. Inspiring indeed.
I haven't even seen your work yet, but I subscribed immediately because I think you're my spirit animal.
I never thought I'd watch a one hour video from start to finish but I didn't even notice how the time passed. Please keep making amazing content like this, the pictures are gorgeous.
Can we all take time to appreciate the attention to detail for the shutter sound of each pic, how he differentiates the digital shutter sound from the film shutter sound! Great video man, I enjoyed every second!
First time getting a Saturday off work in weeks, I was meant to have a productive morning but you dropped an hour long gem!
Beautyful! One of the best Phototgraphy chanels there is!
Thought my phone had glitched when it said an hour. It hadn't, and I felt blessed. Glad to see overall you had fun 💕
Amazing video! Loved the composition of all the shots, definitely inspires me to focus on composition more when I shoot. Keep doing what you're doing!
Thanks for changing the shutter sounds. Really helped in knowing what's analog and what's digital
Absolutely epic trip and photos, thanks.
Thanks for your extensive footage of Iceland. I was there 78 in Reykjavik. I got up to the observation deck in the cathedral. The landscape is a volcanic wonderland
"Get George from Negative Feedback to notice me" - This needs to happen. I feel like you might cause his left eye to twitch or something like that.
First I was like, THIS IS AN HOUR? Then it ended and I was like, THIS IS ONLY AN HOUR? Just got back from the 4th trip and already feeling the pain.
those ektachrome shots are niceee.
the colors are great
dude, amazing work! I have watched the whole thing, mad respect for the effort it took to make this. Also, so many great photos!
I just discovered your channel. It's been years that I want to go to Iceland. I am a French physics student broke af. But as soon as I finish my PhD, I will go to Iceland for at least a month. Thank you for your wonderful video, hope to live the same thing later.
some amazing photos, and great humour, as always
This guy is super cool, love the sound of the clicking camera. I used to DJ years ago. Love the tracks, reminds me of Sasha album.
love the pace of your clip, keep it going mate, respect and love from Canton China.
I've been waiting for this post! Thank you and please keep posting.
This is so great, and so long… But I’m definitely not complaining. Great work Jason, next time up the beer game
They should have a tourist ad that says, "ICELAND - the setting for most contemporary Sci-Fi films" or "The land of waterfalls and 2.25% beer."
Well we’re 17 days in and I’m going to call it.... the best channel I’ve found in 2020... it all started with you 44-2 video for me and now after an hour of this... you win!
I know you probably hate answering these kind of questions but could you list your digital kit? I saw a 70-200 and a 24 possibly maybe also a 50? I just travelled Bali with a 24 and a 105. Schizophrenic I know! Hahaha
Yep! I have the Sony 70-200mm F4 and the Sigma Art 24mm 1.4. I feel like thats good enough coverage haha
I did it. I've finally trudged through every video on your channel.
Fantastic work all around. Keep it up!
Your soo painfully awkward, love it! great video man. I cant wait to go to Iceland next year
An hour? I’m gonna have to circle back to this in a bit. 🤙🏻
I love the sound design you used! Great little details! This is getting me so excited for my trip in July!
Che spettacolo mamma mia che foto. Great job.
I'm so glad I watched this one months after having found (and subscribed to) your channel.

you got me with the Doritos observation :') I also miss Cool American dearly!
your writing is hilariöööss and your editing & photography is phenomenal.
the 2.25% beer is also the most classic tourist mistake you can make and you fell for it coming over for the second time! 😂
you've made yet another Icelander living abroad homesick!
watching this was an hour well spent 👌 mad props dude
Some stunning shots
i really watched this whole thing!!
Iceland just moved its way up into my top 5 must go to places
That video is just what I needed - Tickets booked can't leave it on the bucket list after that, thanks Jason!
Watching your video is like doing some kind of .. meditation...peaceful&joyful
The Ooigawa railway goes over a kind of horseshoe river bend like that in Shizuoka, Japan. And apparently the railway is a rare type called "rack rail" that can go up steeper grades.
I don’t think I’ve ever watched a UA-cam video for one straight hour but I definitely enjoyed this one.
Can’t believe that I watched the whole video ,and I didn’t fall asleep ! love your share! funny thing is the subtitles recognized the rain as applause.
