Behind The Lens
Location
We were in Iceland, there was some debate whether to go round rather than over in getting from Whale Fjord to Gullfoss due to the snow. We were so glad we went for it, unspoilt scenery all the way.Time
It was morning, we had made a fairly early start as we had a fair way to travel, was about 10am when we saw this scene from he road and had to stop.Lighting
The clouds had diffused the sunlight to give a bright white snow scene, but without a harsh shadow.Equipment
Canon 5diii, handheld, I did brave the cols and get out of the car. I had my 24-105 f4 l on the camera, it gives me options when you just don't know what you are going to get and have to travel relatively light.Inspiration
I loved the colour of the house against the pure white of the snow behind.Editing
Just a bit of cropping on this one.In my camera bag
What's in the bag depends on the trip, this was really for the norther lights, so tripod, wide angle lenses, remote release, and plenty of warm clothing.Feedback
Get on the road before it gets busy, have the right clothes for the job, and keep your eyes peeled.
