Spectacular. I get tired of seeing the same things all over the place. This one stopped me, first, because I love turquoise. :-) Great composition. What aperture? Focus stacking? Very crisp.

thank you!! Because it's a long exposure it turns out very detailed. aperture must be f8. I don't know exactly because the lense is all manual.

Behind The Lens

Location

Godafoss, Iceland on a trip in july 2016

Time

It was evening, around 7pm.

Lighting

Like most of the time, it was cloudy and I think it starts to rain a little bit when we where at this beautyful place

Equipment

A Sony a6000 with a Samyang 12mm f2.0 was mounted on a Cullmann tripod. For filters, a Hoya CPL was mounted in combination with a Haida ND 1000x.

Inspiration

One of the most beautyful places in Iceland. Why not taking a picture? I love taking long exposures and because of the crystal clear water it turns out very well. The rocks under water are my favorite thing.

Editing

Of course this is post processed because I shoot in RAW. S I tried to make it close to reality. The Water on Godafoss is crystal clear and has a deep turquoise color, so I pushed it a little bit. And I raised the clarity and lighten up the yellows. That gives it more structures. The sky has a extra portion clarity on it.

In my camera bag

When I'm shooting wildlife: Canon 70d with Sigma 150-600mm f5.6-6 and the extension tubes if I'm searching for insects Landscapes and Long-exposures: Sony a6000 with Samyang 12mm f2.0, Hoya CPL, Haida ND1000 and a Cullmann Nanomax 460 tripod. I was recently in Iceland with this set-up and fell in love with the small Sony a6000. It saves so much weight instead of the Canon 5D, It was a hard decision wich one to take for that trip but it was the right choice. The only problem on this cam is the battery life! Stars: Canon 5Dmark2 with Samyang 14mm f2.8 and the Cullmann Nanomax 460

Feedback

Go to iceland and you can't put the camera down! For capturing water, long-exposures are a nice way to bring the movement on the film. If you travel around like on this trip and get the beautyfull spots were you can't go back when the light is better, always have a CPL and ND filter in your pocket
