Behind The Lens

Location

This is in Thingvellir, Iceland, the water falls from the north-american tectonic plate

Time

It was around 11am, so not the most common time to shoot landscapes

Lighting

On a cloudy day on my trip around Iceland, I took many long-exposures. In this case it has given this dark,mysterious look that you you see here with those clouds moving in the right direction.

Equipment

A Sony a6000 with a Samyang 12mm f2.0 was mounted on a Cullmann tripod. For filters, a Hoya CPL was mounted in combination with a Haida ND 1000x.

Inspiration

I loved this place instandly, the look of the stones combined with the waterfall and the fact that you see the actual tectonic plate raising. Iceland is one of the best places on earth and Thingvellir is one of the best spots there.

Editing

This picture was quite good out of cam, but I laid on a vignette the give it more darkness and raise the yellow lights to accentuate the stones better

In my camera bag

When I'm shooting wildlife: Canon 70d with Sigma 150-600mm f5.6-6 and the extension tubes if I'm searching for insects Landscapes and Long-exposures: Sony a6000 with Samyang 12mm f2.0, Hoya CPL, Haida ND1000 and a Cullmann Nanomax 460 tripod. I was recently in Iceland with this set-up and fell in love with the small Sony a6000. It saves so much weight instead of the Canon 5D, It was a hard decision wich one to take for that trip but it was the right choice. The only problem on this cam is the battery life! Stars: Canon 5Dmark2 with Samyang 14mm f2.8 and the Cullmann Nanomax 460

Feedback

Go to iceland and you can't put the camera down! For capturing water, long-exposures are a nice way to bring the movement on the film. If you travel around like on this trip and get the beautyfull spots were you can't go back when the light is better, always have a CPL and ND filter in your pocket
