Gullfoss

Iceland's most famous waterfall tumbles 32m into an organ-pipe sided canyon, 2 kilometers

long. Gullfoss drops in a pair of broad cataracts: the first steps out ten meters in full view,

then the river bends a sharp 90 degrees and falls a further twenty meters into the gorge's

spray filled depths.

Very good shot. I like the texture and the composition of this shot. Good work.

Thank you Sherwin for your kind words, but if I was to be honest, I would have to admit that photographing breath-taking natural beauty in Iceland is a little like shooting fish in a barrel!

 

I can recommend a trip there no end!

 

Regards, Nick.

very cool! wish the shadows could be opened up more. this would be a good candidate for a grad ND filter.

Thank you Linda, I couldn't agree with you more, but alas there was no ND filter in my camera bag!

 

Kind regards, Nick.

I feel cold looking at this. There's less spray than I expected.

 

Anyway, a fine shot.

A definite "WOW" picture.

Thanks Pete.

 

Thanks Ned.

 

Here is a photograph from down stream which shows both cataracts, not just the second as displayed in the photograph above (up stream). Note the little path on the left which leads from near the position from where this second photograph was taken, to the falls where the above photograph was taken - see the tiny people on the path which gives a real sense of scale for this waterfall (remember that 43mm is ultra-wide angle in medium format!)

 

Regards, Nick.

...gosh thanks Richard, it just shows that we really are all here to learn! - I had no idea that you could even do that, but it sounds like something that I should have a go at.

 

Kind regards, Nick.

Can I sit in on that scanning and layering tutorial too?

This is simply amazing and to be seen live must be one heck of a loud experience!

I like the gloomy feeling to the foreground here. When I had the Mamiya 7 I found the 50mm was a great lens so I imagine the 43mm is similar but even wider. In this case the sharpness of the whole frame is good. One day I will get to Iceland!

Wow, dramatic. I hate to be caught in that ice and water.
