Great image!! the long exposure of the waters edge line draws you right to the rock formation. There is a feeling of calm but I'm sure when the tides change the scene might look different. Congrats!! 😊

Thanks Lilly, appreciate it! and yes, the weather was actually very windy and especially at the rock formation at the far end (Reynisdranger), the waves are quite dangerous for people on the beach.

Thanks Paul. I have lost my heart to Iceland and hope to get an opportunity to go back some day.

Behind The Lens
Location
Arnardrangur: basalt sea stack on the Reynisfjara beach near the village of Vík, south coast of Iceland.Time
The photo is taken 16:39 on a windy day, July 5, 2020. My brother concentrated on the puffins nesting near by while I took almost 200 photos of this scene.Lighting
This was a partly overcast day where the sunlight was weak or only shined in very short periods. Trying to get the right timing in position of the skies, the waves coming in and the sunlight was a tricky task.Equipment
My Camera at the time was the Sony A7R4 and I used my 16-36mm lens for this photo. Tripod and ND filter for the long exposure. Cable release to avoid shaking the setup and a 'broad back' shielding everything and trying to keep the wind from pushing the tripod and camera off the cliff.Inspiration
Two photographers whose fire and enthusiasm for photography is inspiring are Attilio Ruffo (Italy/California) and Mads Peter Iversen (Denmark). Both have been to Iceland several times, and both have accounts in our Viewbug community. https://www.viewbug.com/member/attilioruffophotography https://www.viewbug.com/member/madspeteriversen#/madspeteriversen/photos The Arnardrangur sea stack on the Reynisfjara beach is one of the iconic scenes in Iceland and I had the desire to photograph it myself after seeing and hearing both the above photographers stories and their photos of this special place. The weather in Iceland is unpredictable and getting everything right is thus difficult. Having to return to this location some day will be a great pleasure and I am sure the photos at that time will be completely different.Editing
I did a lot of post processing with this photo. I will never add anything to a photo, but removing disturbing elements (e.g., branches washed up on the black sand) are very often necessary. Otherwise, it has been standard finishing and getting the right feeling into the photo. This is my first attempt using the HDR features in Photoshop.In my camera bag
I have recently bought the Sony A1 camera and usually have my 200-600mm and 24-105mm lenses with me. For the Wide lenses: the 12-24mm and the 16-35mm lens. ND filters are from KASE in Germany.Feedback
Travel to Iceland! its one of the most iconic locations in the world for landscape photographers and opportunities are everywhere. The weather is ever changing, and the moods and expressions of your photos will show that. I have 'the right equipment' and a true interest in photography. I have acquired some skills through the years. I have learned about composition and editing and colours and..........all that are necessary and part of being a photographer. But none of it matters if I don't place myself at locations where everything can be utilised and perfected (read: I still make a ton of errors and some even quite painful and embarrassing...e.g., lately walking for hours to the Fagradalsfjall Volcano just to discover that I forgot the key thing for a wide landscape photo...the 16-35mm lens. I have no further words). Well...a couple. DO use some or most of your savings on travels and on educating yourself as a photographer. Excellent and amazing photos have been taken with equipment/cameras that are 5-10 years old...it does not have to be the very latest and most expensive camera in the world. But you do need to be there at the location to take the photo.
