Behind The Lens
Location
I took this picture while vacationing in Iceland last May at Skógafoss Waterfalls on the south shore. We were on a bus tour and I broke away from the group to take photos of the awesome falls!Time
This photo was taken around 2 pm which is not the time I would have chosen but as we were on a bus tour to the south coast of Iceland on this particular day, this is what it was. I loved the way the mist rose from the falls not to mention the rainbow and the photographer so I was quite delighted.Lighting
The falls, bathed in natural light, with the soft mist and the dreamy rainbow were perfectly highlighted for a handheld photograph.Equipment
This shot was taken without a tripod on a Canon 6D with the 24-105mm lens.Inspiration
This impressive waterfall is 25 m wide and tumbles down from a height of 61 m This makes Skógafoss one of the biggest waterfalls in Iceland, and as it tumbles, it constantly produces a spray that created a single or double rainbow. Very impressive sight, indeed!Editing
I post process every picture according to what I am trying to convey to the viewer. In this case, there were a few simple adjustments to the raw file done in Photoshop and Lightroom.In my camera bag
It really depends on where I am going and how I will get there. If it is by car, I will take much more than if we are flying. My husband is very good in carrying my "stuff" which gives me a lot of freedom to create. The gear that I had with me when I took this picture, was my Canon 6D with the 24-105mm lens (which I love as it is so versatile), a polarizer which I did not use, my Panasonic underwater camera in case of soggy weather, and that is about it.Feedback
I found that having lens cloths to keep my lens clear of water droplets were very helpful as there was mist everywhere from the exploding falls. I protected my camera with a homemade plastic assembly and used a hood as I always do. There were lots of people milling around the falls and I often patiently waited until there was a manageable few before taking pictures. As I was on a bus tour on this particular day, I had to be mindful of time so I did not miss my bus.
