Seljalandsfoss

Seljalandsfoss Iceland.

Midnight sunset illuminates the falls. 2 exposure blend for highlight and shadow detail.

I was soaked to the bone after shooting these falls. Keeping my lens free of water was a real challenge, but I managed to come away with a few clean files out of dozens.

Thanks for your comments!

Joe

Very interesting light at the base of the falls. It's almost as if the water is rising out of the basin, rather than falling.
Well captured. :toast:

Wow! Stunning image Joe. I really like how the sunlight is illuminating the water and spray at the base of the falls.
