favorites skogafoss

to all of you, I love your comments. Nestor, you are asking for my equipment. My camera, which I am always using, is a Nikon D100. I have now inserted the information so that it will appear in my upcoming photos. As a newcomer I simply took the 'optional' too lightly. regards, Dieter

amazing shot!

Very nice composition,Reminds me of my great wonderful visit in so many waterfolls in Iceland.Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful composition. The red color of the jacket increases the contrast and makes the person as a references point. Congratulations

I would have used a very slow shutter to loose the detail in the water, which would have taken away from this shot. The modest detail in the falling water is a good point and I think the overall quality of this shot is good 6-7

"composition excellent! red vs. monotone excellent distance and scale car vs. falls excellent"

Agree.

Simply delightful to look at. The timing is just right to capture the details of the waterfall. 7/6

beautiful image...makes me want to book a trip to see this wonderful country.

Impressive perspective and relations. Regards.

This brings back good memories of 'working' skogafoss. I recognized this falls before I saw the name or the country, although I had not seen this composition before. I taught a photo class there in '86 and returned in '87 for some more. I was always the last one back to the bus, but when you're working Iceland you don't want to rush. I tell people, it's not just another country, it's another planet, many of them!!! Makes me miss it- now I'll have to make plans to return. Nice shot. Blessings, Michael Seewald

As some have mentioned above, the choice of shutter speed is great, fast enough to retain some structure in the water, but slow enough to reproduce blurred movement.

 

Incidentally, I would have liked it much more without car... man and nature are enough!

Salvatore, the car is there only for aesthetic purposes to add a white element, in particular, since it is somewhat illegal to drive that far to the fall and I had a slightly bad conscience (but you dont destroy anything if you drive there, no environmental concerns). By the way, I do have several pictures with only one or two people.

Thanks.

Impressive. The picture needs to be rotated a bit though.

Thanks for the comment. I don't think that the picture should be rotated. The gravel bed at the bottom of the fall is slightly inclined. The horizontal can be seen on the left, where the water level is visible
