stranded iceberg

The beach at the Jokulsarlon lagoon in Iceland becomes a graveyard

for icebergs calved from the glacier and washed up here. This

example was the size of a large SUV! Used a 9 stop ND filter to slow

shutter to 30 seconds before being hit by the wave forming in the

background!

Love the color tone, a nice artic touch, and the motive. I think it would work better with the centered iceberg if the little piece of ice to the left wasn't there. It breakes my focus.

Hi Tommy thanks for the feedback. I've just tried another version as you suggest and it is much improved (in my eyes anyway)! THANKS Paul

i like it the way it is, how cold was the water

cheers mick

Water was....... COLD!

Thanks for posting this, Paul.  I'm headed there in September and I've been gathering info for over a year.  I'm curious about your use of the 9-stop ND; why did you use it here?  Thanks, Jeff  

I used the 9 stop nd filter to allow a shutter speed of 20 to 30 seconds, this allowed the waves to smooth and blur.
