Seljalandsfoss, Iceland
Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 2 November 2012 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
Seljalandsfoss is a spectacular waterfall in the south of Iceland. The water drops 60m (200ft) from the the top of the cliff and it's possible to walk behind the falls which is where I took this photo from looking back toward the coastal plain and the setting sun.
I used a circular B+W 6 stop neutral density filter to get a slow shutter speed (1.6 seconds) so I could slightly blur the water but it was almost impossible to keep the lens free of water droplets as the falls created a fine mist of water that filled the air - by the time I'd finished both me and all my camera equipment was soaked.
