Behind The Lens

Location

Jokulsarlon Iceland.

Time

Sunset.

Lighting

Shooting in the opposite direction to the sun set, this was taken in the blue hour, working well with the cool icy colours.

Equipment

Nikon d750, 14-24mm lens on a tripod.

Inspiration

I'd seen many photos of this location and wanted to take my own style there and have a go.

Editing

All post was done in Lightroom, just basic tweeks.

In my camera bag

Always have my 14-24mm and an ND4 in the kit.

Feedback

Judge the speed of the moving water when selecting shutter speed. This was half a second.
