Behind The Lens

Location

Arnarstapi or Stapi is a small fishing village at the foot of Mt. Stapafell between Hellnar village and Breiðavík farms on the southern side of Snæfellsnes, Iceland.

Time

12:33. The sun was low, filtered through the skies and mild drizzle.

Lighting

The weather was my friend.

Equipment

Nikon D5300 and Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II lens. Manfrotto tripod and a remote shutter. Lee ND filter 6stopper.

Inspiration

This house, alone with the mountain in the background.

Editing

Very limited post-processing.

In my camera bag

My worn-out bag includes Nikon D5300, two extra batteries, Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 IF ED UMC lens, AF-S DX Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II lens, AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor ED 55-200mm F4-5.6G lens, remote shutter, lens cleaning cloths and chocolate. Chocolate is the most essential thing to carry when driving the center highland of Iceland. Of course food, water and other survival essentials are needed, but standing in a great landscape, waiting for the right lighting calls for good Icelandic chocolate.

Feedback

Always use a tripod. Always.
