Another Angle on Godafoss Waterfall Iceland

Godafoss waterfall in Iceland is a pretty special place, so I stayed there for a sunset and a sunrise and shot it from both sides.  At least somewhere above the clouds there was a sunset and a sunrise.  Fortunately overcast light works really well for waterfalls, so although it seems like it I am not really complaining.  The clouds were beautifully defined with lots of great heavy texture, I even got some colour in the clouds above the falls for this shot.  This is pretty much the raw capture with a few minutes of tweaking in Lightroom, mostly just contrast and white balance.  I think this one will come up nicely with a little bit of digital magic.

To shoot images of Godafoss waterfall you can choose from both sides of the falls, and many different High and low perspectives.  This is the low down perspective shot right on the water level.  There was water spray everywhere, so it was wipe and shoot again.

Shot on the Hasselblad H4D-60 with the 28mm lens.  Don’t forget to click on the image to get a bigger version.
