It's officially May and we are months into the global pandemic that has upended the world. Sometimes it feels like the day passes far too quickly and before you know it, the day is gone. Other days feel like a never-ending saga of boredom. If you've felt both, you're not alone. We feel you.
Like many of you, we've been revisiting some old photos to give them a fresh update and while we all know that presets are never the end-all-be-all, sometimes it's fun to try another photographer's editing style on your own work.
In early May, Vallerret Team Shoot offered up his Iceland preset pack for free to everyone in the Vallerret community and while that freebie has ended, you can still pick up his Iceland presets for a bargain.
If you're not sure who Simon is, you're in for a treat! Simon found Vallerret very early on in his search for photography gloves that fit the bill for him. It was way back when we only just had our first prototype made (many adjustments were coming) and were still in the early stages of getting into gear and launching our Kickstarter campaign.
Based out of Germany, Simon has shared his global photography adventures with the Vallerret Community throughout the years and we're always impressed with his ability to capture the raw beauty of the places he visits.
Simon created these presets with great care using photos of his own trips to Iceland. As always, presets are best used as a starting point for image processing. Functions such as exposure, compensation, etc. can be adjusted later.
Icelandic horses, sheep, reindeer - you will encounter a lot of animals in Iceland. This preset increases contrast and structure and desaturates the strong colours. Perfect for photos of animal encounters in Iceland.
The preset for your Northern Lights photos. If you are lucky enough to visit Iceland in winter you might get a glimpse of the elusive Northern Lights. This preset optimizes the interplay between green and blue tones and adds the necessary contrast. But be careful, this preset does not work easily with all Northern Lights photos. Photos with very dark skies and light activity will work best.
The black beach on which blocks of ice the size of a small car lie is one of the most famous sights on the ring road. This preset is suitable for exactly this scenery, which emphasizes the blue tones and enhances contrast and structure. This preset works best with photos of cloudy days.
Iceland is the land of fire and ice. And if you talk about ice, Iceland's glaciers should not be missing. This preset is intended for Iceland's glaciers. Rich blue, deep black and high contrasts and detailed structure ensure the perfect glacier look.
The famous airplane wreck is an attraction for many Icelandic tourists and is perfect as a photo opportunity. This preset ensures the right photo mood on cloudy days.
Ideal for taking detailed pictures of the most famous waterfall in Iceland. Hard contrasts, emphasis on green tones and desaturated blue tones ensure a coherent picture.
Ideal for wide-angle shots of Skogafoss in Iceland, where the shades of blue must not be completely lost. Here, too, the image look is characterized by hard contrasts and the emphasis on green and yellow tones.
Cities, villages and urban areas of Iceland deserve to be presented in the same way as the unreal landscape. Whether Reykjavik or Akurey, this preset can be used universally for the cities of Iceland.

Please note, our gloves are designed to fit snuggly to give you the best camera feel without compromising on warmth. If you prefer a looser fit, please size up.
As we learn more and more about gloves we also learn that all hands are different. Some people have long skinny fingers and slim wrists, others have wide hands with short fingers.
Our gloves wont fit all even with the right measurements from the sizing chart – but we try!
For many, the best option will be to go up a size if your measurements are in between sizes.
If you are between sizes or if your hands do not fit into the measurements on our sizing chart, we recommend prioritizing the fit for the girth measurement. The girth is the most important measurement and if you the girth size on the glove is too small, you won't be able to fit the glove.
If you’re considering pairing a liner glove with your photography gloves, we recommend choosing the same size liner as photography glove. We designed our liners to be thin and fit inside of our photography gloves so we recommend your normal size in liners. There are two exceptions to this:
1. Exception #1: If you are at the very end of the ratio size in the sizing chart, e.g. 1 mm from being a size Large, then we advise going up a glove size if you plan to often wear the liner with the gloves.
Exception #2: If your personal preference is to wear fairly loose gloves, then you should also go up a size when adding a liner. We don't recommend this as you will compromise dexterity with loose gloves and our priority is best possible camera feel. But you know best what you like!
House tip: Make sure to chose a liner size that is snug/tight on your hand for the best Fliptech performance when wearing liners and gloves together.
