Colby and Foss

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted April 21, 2016185 views12 comments

Pretty crazy place, this Iceland is. This is one of those hidden gems not known to quite a few photographers (or atleast I believe!). The photo itself is a culmination of ideas that I had for showing the size and scale of these waterfalls which are littered all over the country. I had my friend and guide for this trip, Colby stand right next to the waterfall. This is a vertical pano of 5 images + 2 more for the dynamic range. The trip also gave me the chance to try out the Sony A7r ii with my Canon glass. Safe to say it was incredibly powerful.

Appreciate any thoughts you have on this image.

Ha, that is one waterfall I recognize!! Loved that one! One of those places where you could be alone and in peace and quiet. Especially regarding its location not too far from a major attraction it is a joy to find this one so free of the army of selfie-maniacs.

Very nice photo, my only nit would be a tad more detail in the darkest parts. Comp and light are terrific!

Awesome color and composition. IcelandAir needs to to buy it from you, if you're selling.

I'm interested in your thoughts on the A7r ii with Canon glass. I considered picking up a used one for a lightweight hiking kit. PM me if you have time.

Love the addition of the person to give scale to this waterfall. Lovely light and colors, too. I see plenty of detail in the large version. Beautiful place and the image captures it.

Excellent detail in the larger version Sairam. Also ,the person provides a sense of scale to the place. The foreground water appears to have too much cyan but I wasn't there. The composition works well.

Nothing I could recommend could improve this wonderful shot! The processing is stellar. For my taste, you did great on the hues of the water. Cheers...

Just an incredibly beautiful image. The water in the lower section is just amazingly sharp. Could you share which lens did you use for this image?
