Behind The Lens
Location
This was taken in Iceland. Not far from the more famous Selfoss and geyser, this blue waterfall is tucked away from most tourist attractions. There is a small unpaved road you need to take to find itTime
It's always hard to tell in Iceland during the summer since it's almost all daylight. This was taken around the middle of the day when the sun was upLighting
Nothing too special, the sun was up high and provided some nice lighting, helped with the color in the water as wellEquipment
Nikon D700, Nikkor 24-85 lens, and a carbon fiber tripod with remote triggerInspiration
Iceland has some amazing scenery, but it also has a lot of tourists. It's hard to find a spot like this that is not filled with people trying to get their own shot. I was lucky to find this location, and couldn't let the chance get away to get a shot of how amazing this was.Editing
Yes, I use primarily Macphun/Skylum software. I try not to overdo it and get the image looking like it did to meIn my camera bag
I usually carry my Nikon D700, and 18-35, 24-85, 70-200, and 50mm lenses. When I travel internationally I will sometimes only take the camera and 24-85mm to keep it lightFeedback
Find a place that is amazing and take a good picture of it. I always prefer pictures of the non-touristy things when I travel. Don't get too worried about which lens or camera you need for a specific picture, it helps to focus on the shot rather than the equipment
