Location
This was taken on a glacial runoff riverbed in Iceland.Time
This was taken mid-morning.Lighting
The light was strong and mid-morning. However with the drone and nothing to cause shadows, that helped the contrasts of the icy water and silt.Equipment
DJI Mavic ProInspiration
On the flight out to Iceland I saw some aerial photos in the in-flight magazine from a cessna. It inspired me to try to find some textural images from the drone!Editing
Minimal post-processing. Just some minor contrast balancingIn my camera bag
I carry Olympus, Nikon and DJI in my bag. I currently have the OM-D E-M1 Mark ii and iii, and the Nikon D850. My lens assortment varies from ultra wide to ultra telephoto and everything in between! I have gear addictionFeedback
With the drone I have found it best to look for patterns, shadows or textures. Luckily the contrasts and textures of the smooth water and sandy silt created a wonderful image.
