Location
The photo was taken on a recent trip to Iceland. The falls are known as BruarfossTime
Late morning when the sun was higher in the sky to light each of the smaller falls. Even though late morning, the quality of light still had a soft modelling effect.Lighting
Morning and evening light seem to provide best results for landscape photography.Equipment
Nikon D810 with a 14-24mm lens. The favourite combination for landscape work. A waterproof Sirui tripod for standing in the stream.Inspiration
The multiple cascades, bright blue water and stormy skies provided a perfect subject.Editing
Simple processing in photoshop using an auto curved layer followed by some selective lightening and darkening of the image to direct the eye and reinforce the subject.In my camera bag
A head torch, spare batteries for camera and equipment, and a selection of lenses to get from 14mm to 400mm. Tripod the camera whenever you can.Feedback
When arriving at a location, don’t rush to take the photo. Enjoy the features and natural attributes, walking between different viewing points, to gain an understanding or insight. This will help you distill the spirit of place and better inform an image that you may take away.
