Location
This was taken at Bruarfoss, Iceland. An amazing set of waterfalls that are very popular for their blue water.Time
It was taken late afternoon.Lighting
Just a fairly normal day with a bit of cloud and blue sky.Equipment
Nikon D810, 24mm Ninon Lens, Gitzo Tripod, Circular Polariser filter.Inspiration
The scenery here is just amazing ...it's inspirational enough.Editing
This is a crop from a landscape orientated image. I felt the crop focused on interesting information that lay down the middle of the image. I also removed most of the the colours to create a blue black white feel. I simply slid the colour saturation sliders in Adobe Bridge until I found the effect pleasing.In my camera bag
I normally carry 2 x Nikon D810's, , Nikon 14-24mm lens f2.8 lens,Nikon f2.8 24-70mm lens, Nikon f4 70-200mm lens. Gitzo Tripod. 3 x Nikon SB910 flash guns.Feedback
I guess my advice would be to hand hold the camera and recce the scene to find an angle with the wow factor. Then bring the tripod to that point to support the camera. I use f8 when ever possible to achieve optimum lens sharpness.I focused at a point to achieve best sharpness through out (the hyperfocal distance) then shoot a whole series of images at differing shutter speeds and ISO settings so that when you return home you have a good selection of images to choose from.
