To conquer the “Reign of Ice & Fire”.
Iceland is unique in every single way you may think of. It is literally a country on active formation.

Iceland is unique in every single way you may think of. It is literally a country on active formation.
My dream assignment would be to be able to travel all around Iceland in midsummer as well as in the coldest part of winter to capture
____________________________________________
Detailed description (continuation from summary)
--------------------------------------------
to capture the natural contrast of colors and situations THAT ONLY THERE can be found, and take pictures from places and at hours that no tourist but a real traveler can get. To do that, obviously, I would sleep most of the time on a tent.
Why Iceland? Even if its just the size of the state of Virginia, Iceland is everything but small, it is one of the very few places (professedly 2) where a mid-ocean ridge rises above sea level. It has plenty of geysers (including the oldest known on Earth) that can be frozen with an amazing shot, active volcanoes that can show us the beauty yet respect force of lava, glaciers that will take our breath away when viewed underwater, lagoons that can reflect with no lie everything including the very soul of both nature an civilization, as well as unique fauna as the fearless puffins. Oh and not to mention the fjords and ridge that take born as the tectonic plates of America and Euro-Asia collide.

King Salomón Voting!
yes get it before it melts!!!
please check my idea, ,,i promise for every vote i get to make you a collaborator-- and donate a percentage of exhibit sales to your cause.
1) Thank you.
2) I’m doing this for the photo shooting not to spend all the available money.
3) I choose this place for the reasons I already write in my description, but to answer your other questions let me put it this way, I DREAM and HOPE to be able to do this, and as to
take the photos is my primarily concern the unique angle of this is not to go jumping from one place to another in a hurry and to take pictures at typical tourist hours and points of view, but to actually BE THERE spend as long as necessary to get the best & unique photo.
To do that I will as I say sleep on a tent, and when? When the climate is most extreme, in a snow storm, a heavy rain or the hottest and sunny day. I’m a traveler, me and my brother (he will be my companion) have been in more than 30 countries over Europe, America and Africa, we know how to travel,
what special equipment is needed to such an adventure, and believe to be able to have a tent, clothes for those weather conditions , lanterns, etc IT IS QUITE EXPENSIVE .
4) And finally but not least I do have a good camera, Sony alpha a100 in perfect conditions and I’m able to take photos from 18 to 250 mm, but then again this IS MY DREAM ASSIGMENT and if what I care most is to take photos don’t you think that I will also like to have a better and bigger format?
I actually do. And all of us in this contest know what that means $$$$ (I would love to see my pictures on a living room wall instead of a painting).
This is wonderful and original. Good luck! Please check out my idea and toss me a vote :)
