The Icy beach next to the glacierlagoon of Jokulsarlon. I wanted the moon to give some backlighting to the icepieces on the beach while I gave them a bit of front- and rimlight from my flashlight too. Turned out to be a killer shot and one of my favorites from my trip! :)

Behind The Lens

Location

The Jökulsárlon beach in Iceland.

Time

Around 10pm.

Lighting

This was a combination of an experiment and luck. I wanted to shoot the ice backlit by the moon and when I tried I forgot to turn off my head-lamp. I was very surprised by the result, so I tried out a few different positions on the beach to get the right composition. I found out that lighting the ice from the side gave a bit better effect. So within the 30sec exposure I lighted the ice both right and left, while the moon took care of the backlight.

Equipment

Canon 5Dm3, EF 16-35mm f/2.8 II and my tripod.

Inspiration

The scene itself askes for it. I knew I wanted some "icy-beach" night photos and I kinda just went along with it.

Editing

Balanced the light and clone-stamped some of the streaks from the moving ice away.

In my camera bag

Canon 5Dm3, EF 16-35mm f/2.8 II, tamron 24-70 f/2.8, EF 70-200mm f/2.8 and my tripod.

Feedback

Just go for it, play with it, have fun with it - if you don't get it the first time, try some more :)
