Behind The Lens

Location

The Stuðlagil Canyon in the Jökuldalur valley in Norosten Island is one of the country's newer attractions. It was under water for a long time until the Kárahnjúkavirkjun hydropower plant was built and the water level in the Jökulsá á Dal glacier river was significantly reduced.

Time

I took the picture early in the morning, just around sunset

Lighting

For me it was important that the sun didn't create a harsh contrast in the canyon. I tried to avoid this through the early hour. But it is also possible on cloudy days

Equipment

The only equipment I had was my drone, which I could use to get straight across the canyon

Inspiration

I saw similar pictures from other photographers and it was immediately clear to me that I had to try it out myself

Editing

Usually when I take drone shots of still objects I make a bracketing series in order to be able to better control both the image noise and the dynamic range - this is also the case here. Then I combine the individual images into one using Aurora HDR from Skylum. Fortunately, no more post-processing was necessary

In my camera bag

First and foremost, I photograph landscapes. I have two lenses in my backpack for this genre: the Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM and the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM. Various ND and GND filters as well as a tripod are of course always included. If the way to the photo spot is not too long or too difficult, I also like to take the Tamron 70-300mm 1: 4-5.6 SP Di VC USM with me for detailed shots. Occasionally I do astrophotography with the Sigma 14mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art but this thing is so heavy that it is only taken for that special occasion. My second big passion is wildlife photography. Here I have the Tamron SP 150-600mm F / 5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 (also very heavy and therefore not always in the backpack) for the larger and more abrasive specimens and the Tamron SP 90mm 1: 2.8 Di Macro 1:1 VC USD for the tiny ones For indoor photography and other occasions where you need an ultra-wide angle, I recently added another heavyweight - the Sigma 12-24mm f / 4 DG HSM Art, which is not always included due to the weight. I use all those lenses with my Canon EOS 5D Mark IV My newest toy is a drone: the dji Mavic 2 pro for unusual perspectives, abstractions and a view over the fog

Feedback

It's pretty easy to copy this shot: just take your drone and head to Stuðlagil Canyon (it's possible all year round, just half an hour off ring road 1). Take the parking at the west side, so you don't have to walk. You won't see the canyon from the parking but just start your drone and you'll see it. Fly to the best perspective and just shoot...
