First thing I want to get off my chest is that wow Iceland, what an amazing country it is. It is just absolutely astonishing everywhere you go. It is truly the photographer's heaven.

I used my beloved Fujifilm X-H1 for this trip mainly because 2 reasons. First I really like fujifilm's jpg color. Velvia, Provia, Classic Chrome, you name it. I have been a fuji shooter since 2013. It all started with X-E1. It's a really compact camera far from perfect but it provides the color that none others do. Even though I only owning the X-H1 for a little over 3 months, I feel a lot of confident in it. Second reason is the size of fuji system. I think fuji x is the best travel system. The compactness of the camera and lens make them perfect on the go. Therefore, I brought my X-H1 and 3 lens with me on this trip.
- Camera body : X-H1
- Lens: 10-24mm, 35mm f/1.4, 55-200mm
For our first day at Iceland, we really only have half a day after the plane ride and car rental. The first place we visited is Reykjadalur Valley where you can take a hot spring bath after one hour hike. During the hike there are a lot of stuffs to see.

Later that day, we went back to Reykjavík and found a decent hostel to stay. It was my first time ever stayed at a hostel and it was a pretty cool experience. If you are on a budget, I totally recommend to give it a shot.
Anyway, stay tuned for more!
