Behind The Lens

Location

The famous glacier lagoon in Iceland - Black beach, Joekulsarlon

Time

at night, 8:30pm. As the midnight sun was up in iceland (summer), there still was enough light to get this picture.

Lighting

2 sec / f11 / ISO 100 When it was brighter, i used a ND Filter, but in this case, this was not necessary.

Equipment

Nikon D7000, Sigma 10-20mm (4,5 - 5.6), Tripod

Inspiration

The ice is taken back from the sea. The glacier at the other side from the lagoon "drops" his pieces of ice(bergs), then the ice-parts flow along a small river into the sea. The movement and the clearness of the ice/water and weather was my target do show it in one picture.

Editing

Lightroom, sharpness, clarity, cropping. And convert to black an white for the contest. See the color version of this picture here: http://www.kneubuehlers.net/albums/island-impressionen/content/dsc-2158/

In my camera bag

DSLR Nikon D750, Nikon 14-24 / 2.8, Nikon 70-300mm 4,5-5.6 / Format Hitech Filters / Remote Control / Cleaning things / 4 batteries / SD-Cards /Tripod around 8-9 kg of luggage ;-)

Feedback

Take care with the waves. I had to run several times back because a big wave hit the beach and the waves almost took my camera back instead the ice-cubes. Clean the equipment after a trip at the sea. Take the pictures when the waves goes back (after crashing to the beach), this gives the nice movements. But also try the other direction. Start with 1-5 seconds...
