The iconic waterfall Skogafoss in Iceland.
It was very challenging to be close to the waterfall, shoot for long seconds, and avoid getting soaked with all the mist...had to move, block, do whatever I can, wipe the camera and lens after every try...definitely worth it though!

Skogafoss, IcelandTime

Natural Light onlyEquipment
Canon EOS 5D Mark III, 16-35mm f2.8 Wide Angle L Canon Lens, B+W ND Filter, Shutter Control, and a Manfrotto Tripod.Inspiration
Iceland is one of the most gorgeous and amazing locations on Earth, and this waterfall (Skogafoss) can easily be the jewel of Iceland. To be honest it's one of my favorite spots I ever been to, seeing it for the first time just strikingly awed me, I took many shots of this grand waterfall, and this by far is the best shot I believe.Editing
Yes, I post-processed this frame using Lightroom and Photoshop, Vignette, and some of my own retouching techniques that gave this shot its unique dramatic and dreamy appeal.In my camera bag
A bag full of Gears, 2 camera bodies (Canon EOS 5D Mark III & Canon EOS 70D), 3 - 4 lenses (16-35mm f2.8 Wide Angle L Canon Lens, 17-40mm f4 Wide Angle L Canon Lens, 70-200mm f4 USM Canon L Lens, and sometime I carry my Canon prime Lens for occasional portraiture), a Manfrotto tripod, filters, shutter control, and bunch of accessories and stuff.Feedback
This was proven to be a challenging task; to shoot very close to the waterfall for long seconds, and avoid getting soaked with all the mist...had to move, block, do whatever I can, wipe the camera and lens after every try...definitely worth it though! Don't give up, as long as it's safe and your life is not at risk, try your best to take that one great shot, and hope for the best. Also always be prepared, I lost one of the camera bodies to water damage, so always be careful and aware of your surroundings and protect yourself and your gears.
