Behind The Lens

Location

Seljalandsfoss waterfall in Iceland

Time

Midday

Lighting

The lighting was harsh and all I had was a circular polarizer, so a longer exposure wasn't possible at that time. Especially with the spray from the 200ft tall waterfall.

Equipment

Nikon D5000, Tamron 10-20mm wide angle lens, Promaster circular polarizing filter.

Inspiration

This was my first trip to Iceland and my first time photographing anything in a foreign country so I was a little overwhelmed at the sight of how beautiful this country is. Seljalandsfoss is a very popular waterfall, along with Skogafoss since they both can be seen from the main road that wraps around the entire country. This makes it difficult to find an original vantage point of the falls. There are shots from every angle Littered across the Internet. So in hopes of finding something slightly different, I saw the moss on the side of the cliff and used that to draw the eye into the falls.

Editing

Post processing done in Lightroom. Minor exposure and white balance adjustments with a slight curves adjustment. Some sharpening a little bump in the vibrancy, a slight crop and it was all said and done.

In my camera bag

My tripod, a wide angle lens, remote shutter release, and a circular polarizing filter. I just upgraded to a full frame Nikon D610 so I'm currently in the process of acquiring new equipment to go along with my new camera.

Feedback

Patience, take as many shots as possible. Don't let the time of day discourage you, not all shots have to be taken at sunrise or sunset. Shoot away, look around for foreground elements that will add to your composition.
