Behind The Lens

Location

At Aldeyjarfoss, a waterfall in North Iceland, close to where I grew up.

Time

At sunset

Lighting

Cloudy it was but the evening sun was able to break through

Equipment

My Nikon D5300 f/20 6sec ISO320 18mm, Tripod yes.

Inspiration

I'm inspired by the basalt in Iceland, the island is basically one big volcano.

Editing

Sharpening, some clarity

In my camera bag

My worn-out bag includes Nikon D5300, two extra batteries, Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 IF ED UMC lens, AF-S DX Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II lens, AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor ED 55-200mm F4-5.6G lens, remote shutter, lens cleaning cloths and chocolate. Chocolate is the most essential thing to carry when driving the center highland of Iceland. Of course food, water and other survival essentials are needed, but standing in a great landscape, waiting for the right lighting calls for good Icelandic chocolate.

Feedback

Just hop over to Iceland :)
