Iceland again, and one I remember thinking I'd come back to (but didn't)...

I remember this very vivdly, I hadn't planned to shoot anymore images this evening as I'd got plenty further along this valley at a waterfall, the sun had dropped rapidly and there was quite heavy cloud blocking out the light in parts, at this corner I was just watching the scene unfold and right in the dip where the sunlight was a lone photographer (not with us) was doing the same, and I seeing as he didn't look in a rush I thought it rude not to set up again and try and get him against the light coming down the valley, if it appeared again.

It was only a short wait, such is the nature of the ever changing skies over here, thankfully he kept perfectly still, almost lke a cardboard cutout, probably capitavted by the scene, and who can blame him ? Have a zoom in and check him out, tripod still in hand, transfixed by this amazing Country. Cannot wait to go back.
