I’m fresh back from Mallorca and started digging through my many many pics. This was early in our trip, and was advertised as a quick walk to a nice beach. After a few minutes of walking we learned there were a couple interesting tunnels to go through before getting the the beach right around the corner which made for unique photo op!
It’s also for waterfalls! A short hike and a steady tripod was all that it took to get a shot of this little waterfall.
The greenish water to the red lighthouse to the blue sky made quite the rainbow of colors at the breakwater. It was very cold, and I was standing on a icy pier with water on each side of me, so I didn’t take long to get this shot and get back in the car!
It is hard to find a bad angle when you have both a waterfall and a unique mountain to work with! I didn’t waste any time and setup for this long exposure to get both the flowing water and the peak of Kirkjufell hiding in the clouds.
Typically the Golden Gate Bridge gets the spotlight, but on this atypical day I was all about the puffy clouds and let the bridge take the background.
Light and angles are two important parts of photography. For this shot I chose dusk for the light and wide for the angle to make a beautiful cathedral a little crazy and dramatic.
Iceland might be named for its icy glaciers, but I found it to be the land of waterfalls, or foss in Icelandic. We could barely drive a few miles without seeing a beautiful waterfall. While at Goðafoss I took the chance to get a close up to the moving water on the side of this massive waterfall and take this shot.
Standing behind this waterfall under the rock shelf meant being out of the rain, but the powerful Seljalandsfoss is 200 feet tall and produces a lot of mist. My camera and I got pretty wet, but it was worth it to be able to experience this close up.
This is one of the first things I saw in Iceland, and I immediately knew this was a very unique country. The crazy green water in this volcanic crater contrasting with the sky really blew me away.
