As a general rule,  90% of the iceberg mass remains underwater

Hi ropo54

How do you carry your gear around?

 

Pierre 68:

With a sore back!  😀

After carrying 2 lenses along with the S, SL2 S and Q2 for a day, I gave up!   Had a large bag on that first day but after that, just carried the S with S70 in a 1 camera/lens bag and left everything else back in my lodging. 

FWIW,  the terrain can be challenging: steep, uneven, sandy, rocky, etc . . . . The weather and wind can also vary along with the temperature.

I'm just a hobbyist so opted for the 1 lens/1 body option.

Hello Rob, you have photographed a breeding colony of kittiwakes.

Hi Muscardino,

I'm not much of a 'birder' so don't know but they certainly do look like the description on line.  

Breeding colony?  Don't know.  The rocks/cliff where they were en masse was littered with bird droppings.

It was quite a busy grouping with lots of activity.

Regards,

Rob

So finally I am embarking on a trip to Iceland today 🙂 

We rented a jeep and we are planning to go round the island in 10 days. I know it is going to be a rush... 

I have chosen a F stop Ajna bag to carry my gear from one place to the other. The bags contains the S 007, SF 60 Flash unit, S 24, S35, S70, S 120 and S 180 plus charger and batteries and filters. It weight like a dead horse... So no hiking with this bag. For day trips on foot I will put the camera body with one lens mounted and another one or two lenses in a Peak Design 13L Every Day Messenger. I stumbled upon this bag the last days before departure in one of the local photo gear store. It seems very convenient. It has a spacious interior, lots of accessory pockets everywhere and it is water proof (up to a certain degree).

This is a great thread and there are a lot of suggestions and practical use with different amounts of gear.  Glad @ropo54 and @Pierre68 got to go and we get to see you images!  Iceland terrain is different from many places, especially in the US.  I know I used my tripod for support walking up some narrow, steep, rocky hills, but the view was worth the slow trek!

OK the trip round Iceland is finished. Everything went as planned and the weather was very nice throughout the trou which is worth mentioning. I have edited my picture and will post some of them to shoe what the S007 is capable of.
