Hi everyone,

Just want to share the rest of my photos from last year's Iceland trip, most of them are waterfalls since they are my favs. There is a lot so might take a while to load

Starting with my favourite, Kirkjufellfoss:

Misc. photos:

Thanks for looking!

Superb shots, composition, tone, and processing! I took about 3500 pictures while I was there and didn't get a single one as good as any of these. Can you say a few words about how you processed some of these images?

The processing is nothing that special, just use graduated filters on some of the images to brighten the landscape while the sky is slightly darkened. I did use a technique called magic cloth where you cover the sky in a long exposure with anything that's black for a few seconds so the land is exposed properly while preventing the sky to overexpose. Takes a bit of trial and error though but eliminates the use of HDRs and noise introduced.

can't really shoot anything because of the horizontal rain and heavy wind

I know that feeling, I live with that here.

Come to Scotland too, we share much of the wild, bleak remoteness you feature in your images, if you had not mentioned Iceland many of those could have easily been taken here.

More importantly, the whisky is better here too.
