## **TIPS FOR AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY**

Our aircraft are designed for visibility, and our pilots are skilled at positioning you for the best angles. Here are a few practical tips to help you make the most of your photo flight:

### **Before the flight**

* Plan your goals and equipment ahead of time — adjustments in the air are limited.
* Most photographers use lenses between 24–105 mm or 70–300 mm.
* Dress warmly in layered clothing; conditions can be cool with open windows.
* Communicate with your pilot about subjects or areas of interest.
* Morning and late afternoon usually offer the most favorable lighting.

### **During the flight**

* Always follow the pilot’s instructions for safety.
* Secure all gear before opening windows.
* Keep equipment inside the aircraft — even lens hoods can cause turbulence.
* If you’re prone to motion sickness, consider preventive measures beforehand.
* Relax and enjoy the view — your pilot will help you find the right perspectives.

### **After the flight**

We love seeing what you capture from the air! Tag **@Flightseeing.is** on social media or email your favorite photos to [**info@flightseeing.is**]() — we sometimes feature guest shots on our channels.

> Just a note to say sincere thanks to Atlantsflug as they provided outstanding service for my aerial photography above south and central Iceland. I flew with their high wing airplane as well with their helicopter and brought back excellent aerial shots of my planned destinations, not least thanks to expert flying skills of the pilots. And not to forget, the pilots also showed me some unique locations not far away from our route and by that, I could shoot extra eye-catchers there. No doubt, for photo flights above Iceland Atlantsflug is THE company to fly with!!"

# Tips and Tricks

Some usefull tips and tricks for taking aerial photographs.

## Before the flight

*   Do your research and decide what equipment you are going to be using before the flight, you will not have much time to change equipments during the flight.
*   The most common lens to bring on aerial photo flights range from range from 24-105 mm or 70-300 mm.
*   Wear wam layered clothing, since you will be flying with an open window it might get a bit cold in the aicraft. But make sure they are not to bulky, so you can move around freely.
*   Take your time to explaine to our staff what you want to shoot, out pilots are experts in finding great locations to picture but we are happy to listen to your suggestions.
*   Best lighting for aerial photography is early morning or late afternoon. However, the excact timing changes with every season, so make sure to do your research on what kind og lighting you want for your photos.

## During the flight&#x20;

*   The pilots job is to keep you safe, so please follow his instructions
*   Make sure you seccure all your gear and yourself before opening the window, otherwise some of your equipment might fall out.
*   While in the air, make sure no part of your camera, not even the strap, is sticking out of the window. It might cause damage to your equipment or the airplane.
*   If you are prone to motion sickness it might be a good idea to take some preventative measures, like taking motion sickness medicine before the flight or bring along some ginger to chew on. Also keep in mind that constantly looking through the viewfinder can add to your motion sickness so make sure you take some time to look up from the camera and enjoy the ride. All our aicraft have barf-bags if needed and please inform your pilot if you a feeling sick and he will do his best to make your experience go better.

# Testimonials

> Today might have just won the title of ‘best day of my life’…..I am thrilled to have had the opportunity to fly with Atlantsflug / Flightseeing on their ‘Landmannalaugar and surroundings’ tour…. One thing I loved about the Cessna that we flew in was the window opened, so I was able to shoot uninterrupted by glass! … The views wrapped around the plane from every angle and it is hard to describe how freeing and relaxing the whole experience felt! Our pilots were wonderful, explaining what we could see and sharing stories of the geology and history, it was fascinating!
>
> Thank you, thank you thank you!!! And thank you a million times over!!
>
> **"Rebecca Douglas"**

> I did a flight with Atlantsflug in July when I was leading a photography workshop in Iceland and had a fantastic experience. From the initial email communication they were extremely helpful in organising a flight above the river braids and the Highlands, and on the day the pilot we had was extremely knowledgable and took care to slowly zig zag along the route to ensure that people on both sides of the plane got good views and didn’t miss anything. The flight itself was fantastic with absolutely incredible views over some of the most stunning landscape in Iceland. … I’ll be back next year and will certainly do another flight with Atlantsflug.
>
> "Andy Mumford - 2018"

> I booked with Atlantsflug after hearing good things from someone else. I lead a photography group of 3 backpacking through the Icelandic Highlands with the flight being a treat to finish! We had the flight rescheduled from Friday to Saturday for the weather and found a much higher cloud level on the day that we flew.
>
> We took off from Thorsmork, flew up to Lanmannalaugar, across to Langisjor and back down to Thorsmork. The views were outstanding and the pilot was obviously very knowledgeable of the best locations to make good images. We were also able to ask him to roll left/right to get a particular shot. Everyone had a fantastic time. This is definitely a company I would use again.

In order to remain as flexible as possible for our customers, our website does not have set departure times. Morning departures are between 9 am to 1 pm and the afternoon departures are from 1 pm to 5 pm. When we receive your booking, we will reply to you with your exact departure time. If you have a preferred time in mind, please specify it in the booking comments or send us an email letting us know and we will do our best to accommodate it.

Please note that during wintertime, we are limited by short daylight time here in Iceland, so our operation time gets a little shorter.

***

#### How much does a tour cost?

We have a wide range of amazing tours departing from Skaftafell Terminal. If you are uncertain of what tour you should take, you are more than welcome to call or email us and we will be happy to help with the decision making.

***

#### Which tours include a landing?

Landings are only included in some of our helicopter tours. The following tours from Skaftafell Terminal include a landing: ‘Laki Craters and Surrounding helicopter tour’, ‘Lagoon and Highest Summit helicopter tour’, ‘Grímsvötn Eruption Site helicopter tour’ and ‘Ice Cave & Helicopter tour’. The following helicopter tours from Reykjavík Airport also include a landing: ‘Geothermal Hot Springs’, ‘Fagradalsfjall Volcano & Geothermal Landing’, ‘Waterfalls & Glacier Landings’ and ‘Fagradalsfjall eruption and Glacier Landing’. &#x20;

None of our airplane tours include landings. If you would like us to set up a custom tour with or without a landing, do not hesitate to contact us. Please note: All landings are only done when deemed safe by our pilots and are determined by factors such as weather and glacial surface conditions.&#x20;

***

#### Can we see any active volcanos?

Most of the time, we do not have any erupting volcanoes in Iceland. When there is an eruption, we make specific tours to go see them. Please visit our webpage or our Facebook page to see the latest news.

Many of our helicopter tours from Reykjavik, fly over the most recent eruption, Fagradalsfjall volcano, check out our helicopter tours here: [*Helicopter Tours*](/helicopter-tours)

***

#### On which tours do we see glaciers?

Since all our standard tours depart from Skaftafell Terminal, which is located right beneath Europe’s largest glacier, Vatnajökull, you get to see some part of the glacier on most of our flights. The following tours focus on the glaciers: ‘Glacier Edge’, ‘Lagoon and Highest Summit’ and ‘Grímsvötn Eruption Site’.

***

#### Can we open the windows to take pictures during a tour?

*On our standard tours, it is not allowed to open the windows. Open windows are only allowed on private or specialized photo flights. To book a private charter flight or custom photo flight please send us an email and we will be happy to assist you.*

***

#### What kind of clothes should I wear?

If your tour includes a landing, as some of our helicopter tours do, we suggest that you wear warm layered clothing since the wind can be cold, even though it is a sunny summer day. From October to mid-April we recommend winter clothing. Good closed, waterproof shoes are highly recommended unless you want to get your feet wet or take the chance on falling on the rough volcanic terrain we often land on. During winter and on glacier landing tours it is especially important to wear good shoes since you’ll be walking on the snow.

Sitting in our aircraft itself is not cold, it is similar to sitting in a car, so if your tour does not include a landing, a light jacket should be sufficient.

During custom photo-flights, temperatures can drop, due to open windows or removed doors. In these cases, we recommend multiple warm layers which are flexible and not too bulky, so you can move freely and your clothing doesn‘t get in the way of your shots.

We pride ourselves in offering high-quality and personal service and strive to ensure you get the best experience possible flying over Iceland. 

ABOUT US

## ABOUT OUR SERVICE

![Jon the founder and owner of Atlantsflug doing the pre-flight. ](https://res.cloudinary.com/getlocal/image/upload/v1683824344/org/n7KZOjg15E7jGdqyfMcc/About_us_qn1wnl.jpg "Jon the founder and owner of Atlantsflug doing the pre-flight. ")

Atlantsflug is a small, family-owned operation. Jón, the owner and founder of Atlantsflug, started out flying over Skaftafell national park over 20 years ago. What started out as a passion for aviation, the outdoors, and adventure has turned into a career dedicated to flightseeing operations in Skaftafell.

Our private airstrip and terminal, Skaftafell Terminal, is located in the heart of Vatnajökull National Park just east of the junction to the Skaftafell National park. Our location allows us easy access to Europe‘s largest glacier, Vatnajökull, the highlands along with the south coast, ensuring the best possible viewing opportunities for the amazing sights Iceland has to offer.

Along with offering sightseeing flights from Skaftafell Terminal Iceland, we also have our own Part.145 maintenance facility, fully compliant with EASA rules and regulations.


## CORE VALUES

### Safety

##### Safety is our main priority. All our operation complies and is constantly evolving, with the strict aviation safety standards of the Europian Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), that includes daily operation, crew training, and maintenance.&#x20;

### Quality

##### Our goal is to offer high quality, reliable service. We do that by being self-reliant in our operation and staying true to our commitment to ensure the safety and experience of our passengers.

### Teamwork

##### Teamwork makes the dream work – just like in any family, teamwork is just as important at this family-owned airline to make our and your dreams come true. We also work closely with local and international companies to make sure our customers’ needs are met.

### Personal tours

##### We pride ourselves in offering high-quality and personal service and strive to ensure you get the best experience possible.

## HOW IT ALL BEGAN

##### Our adventure began 25 years ago, below are some pictures to show how things have evolved through the years…

![](https://res.cloudinary.com/getlocal/image/upload/v1668444209/org/n7KZOjg15E7jGdqyfMcc/the\_beginning\_1\_oyvilq.png "")

### The adventure begins

##### For over 25 years, the founder and CEO of Atlantsflug, Jón Grétar, has been offering sightseeing flights from Skaftafell Airport and it all began in this tiny shed pictured above. Here the pilots would eat, sleep and handle customers, all from this tiny house. And bear in mind that this was before cellphones and the internet. 😲 How did they manage?! But this was only the beginning of something great…

### Huge improvement

…then, 25 years ago, the cabin you see in the picture above
was moved to Skaftafell. This was a huge improvement, now we had separate
bedrooms, a kitchen, and a working toilet. And through the years we have
welcomed thousands of happy customers, made some amazing friendships 💕,
squeezed endless people around the dinner table, and played numerous board
games in this house 🎲🃏. And for that,
we are so grateful!

### Things can only get better

##### But we always felt the need for something more, we wanted to be able to offer our customers full year service and expand our services. So we embarked on the journey of building a hangar and reception area. This process took years to complete, but dreams do come true, and with the help of many amazing friends and co-workers, we are proud to welcome our customers to Skaftafell Terminal, est. 2018 and hope to make many great memories there in the years to come while showing our customers Iceland from the air.
