Location
This was taken at Godafoss, Iceland on a cold day in January.Time
This was mid-day and was kind of rushed since there's only about 4.5 hours of daylight that time of year.Lighting
The overcast day and periodic snowfall helped set the mood for this shot.Equipment
Canon 5D MK4, 24-70 f/2.8 70mm, .4sec at f/11, ISO 50Inspiration
This was actually a test shot for a photo I had in mind where the model was going to wear a black dress. Given the weather conditions, distance from the camera, and time available, we opted to not do the shoot.Editing
In this photo I used Lightroom to develop the RAW image. I also did some dodging and burning to bring out the lines in the waterfall.In my camera bag
I usually travel with 2 Canon DSLRs, a 16-35, 24-105, 70-200, and a 50mm. I also bring 2 tripods and a nodal slide along with ND filters.Feedback
Because of the short days of the Icelandic winter, I try to plan out the longer drive times at night so I can capture the subjects in close proximity to one another in a single day.
