Radioactive Rocks
by Orvaratli
4 minutes drive from my home (yes even closer than Straumur art center) is this interesting and popular beach. It is called Hvaleyri and has recently become one of the main seascape shooting location for Reykjavik photographers. Low tide reveals these very interesting rocks that are covered in green sea weed. I do not remember seeing these rocks so green before. I am sure I would have noticed them if they where this green. But then again alot of changes are going on in the sea around Iceland these days due to warming climate. The trickiest thing about photographing a complicated area like this is getting a good composition. Isolating a single stone is impossible so I decided on shooting these three larger stones in the foreground to try to make some sense to the complex scene.

Love the “sea of green” and the contrast in color of the setting sun. Really nice result. Looks a little slippery though

With a little “suspension of disbelief,” this could be a herd of some small, hairy green animals! Beautiful lighting, great depth of field. Very nice.

You got the composition right and the sunset makes the shot. Have you tried looking underneath the stones? We have similar ones not far from here and underneath lives a community of tiny crabs.

Fantastic! I’ve seen sea-weeded rocks before but never like this…Thanks.
Kimberly Gould
Great job. I love the contrast of the green rocks and the warm colors of the sunset. I think we’re going to be seeing a lot of changes here in the future. The work we do as photographers may be the only thing left for future generations to see what the world used to be like.
Ginger Sanders
What an interesting landscape. Thanks for sharing it!

Fantastic photo. The rocks do look like they came out of a sci-fi computer game!

The title concerned me at first, but I was able to enjoy the unique beauty of the mysterious, green, slimy, hairy-looking rocks when I realized “radioactive” was merely figurative!!!
