Finally completed a long-waited trip to Iceland.
Spent about 2 weeks and $4 K. Will update later with a breakdown of locations and costs for those interested.
It has been nearly a year since my last trip, and thus nearly a year since I used my camera. Not surprisingly, it started to give me problems on the second day onwards where the AF motor on my 17-55 failed and the LCD on my 40D decided on work only on alternate days! .
Taking photos using manual focus and the tiny viewfinder was quite a challenge to me in the cold weather, but I guess it did give me more time to put down the camera and enjoy the trip as it was.
Processing pictures slowly, don't see much keepers from this trip. I suppose this thread is more to help provide information for those planning trips to Iceland. Just as I have benefited from CS-ers like Asterixsg, Giantcanopy and Kazeee.
