I made this image of a waterfall in Iceland in the month of May. The daylight hours are nearly twenty four hours a day at that time of year. This image was made after 10:30 p.m. and there was plenty of daylight to keep photographing well beyond that time of day. It is easy to forget the the late hour and push yourself well beyond your limits to keep traveling and exploring new areas to photograph. The light in Iceland is constantly changing and creates the opportunity for some dramatic images. I hope to return to this wonderful land and continue to find new and interesting landscapes to photograph.
Iceland
Hofn, Iceland
I made this image near the town of Hofn while I was in Iceland. The weather is constantly changing in this artic land and something you will need to wait for the right conditions to make a desired image. I waited at least an hour or more for the clouds to clear the mountain peaks in this scene. As I waited I dealt with some rain as well as wind. It is easy to give up on a location when the weather doesn't co-operate and when travel is involved. Often I quote Edward Weston's belief that, " while you are waiting for it here, you are missing it there". But on this particular day I am glad I hung around for the storm clouds to clear and make the image.
Bruarfoss Waterfall, Iceland
I made a photography trip to Iceland this year. It was a fascinating trip even though the weather was challenging at times. This waterfall is called Bruarfoss Falls, and is located in the Golden Triangle region of the country. It was a little tricky locating the trail to the falls but with persistance I was able to find my way to it. I made this image at 10 p.m. on a cool and wet day in May. Iceland offers plenty of photography locations and I hope to return again to explore more of country. If have any questions about planning a trip to Iceland or locating photography locations, you can contact me for information.
