The Icelandic summer is here. From the desolate highlands to the vibrant green valleys stretching toward the coast, this season reveals the incredible palette of colours that define Iceland’s volcanic landscape. There is an atmosphere out there that is just so special, I’m sure many of you can relate to the strong feeling of wanting to return time and time again!

A muted color palette with beige, taupe, and olive tones to explore mood and memory in your nature photographs! With @johnnyjungle / According to neuroscientist Bevil Conway, our brain assigns more processing power to interpreting color than almost anything else we see, especially when it comes to subtle, muted hues that are harder to categorize. Beige, taupe, and olive tones often evoke nostalgia and emotion. These colors create a mood more than they describe a subject—it’s less about what we see, and more about what we feel. They don’t define a scene so much as they shape its mood. The first image of this series is a perfect example. Captured in a quiet moment when the mist had not yet lifted, this palette speaks in whispers—soft, weathered hues that feel grounded and fleeting. The pale beige (d9d7d4) that drifts through the mist suggests lightness and impermanence. It is an emotional veil, diffusing the light and softening the contrast between the trees and the sky. In editing, this tone can create space, a moment of pause that invites the viewer to linger. 736f61 (a deep stone gray) and aea89a (a weathered taupe) offer earthy warmth, shadows with character. These middle tones are essential for images rooted in memory and mood. They feel aged, like stories told under fading light. Then comes the anchors: 1c1710 (a charcoal brown-black) and 464033 (a muted olive-gray). These are your grounding colors. Together, they provide depth, structure, and a subtle sense of decay, something elemental and ancient. They pull the palette downward, balancing the airy tones above. This scene, framed by towering palms and filtered mist, gains its emotional impact through a restrained use of color. Each tone exists in quiet conversation with the next. If you’re looking for a palette that feels quiet, calm, and naturally beautiful, this one might be just right for you: d9d7d4 (soft mist beige) – 35.4% 736f61 (earthy stone gray) – 24.6% aea89a (warm taupe) – 19.2% 1c1710 (charcoal brown-black) – 12.3% 464033 (olive gray) – 8.5% @nomadict: How do you use contrast, not in brightness, but in emotion, to shape your edits? 🎨🌿

At @nirjharabali The most tranquil place in Bali, the sanctuary of peace and beauty of nature. For these shots I actually rigged the new @djiglobal #djimavic4pro onto its RC2 controller with vertical screen which gave me an awesome 6K resolution videos in All-I 1200 bit codec! Quite a decent setup allowing some cool rotation camera movements, aperture control and color management. #nirjara #nirjharabali #nirjhara #nirjhararesort
