Sunset at Mt. Kirkjufell

Gallery: LandscapePosted July 3, 2013663 views19 comments

It's been a while as life has gotten rather busy but just returned a few weeks ago from a marathon Iceland exploratory with fellow NPN'er Nick Palmieri. This was during a 25 hour day or waterfalls, churches, barns and more. Good thing about spring/summer.....wait 2 hours and you will get sunrise!

Manual 2 exposure blend (sky and FG) with the Sigma 12-24 @ 12mm ISO 400 and f/22

nice image, maybe if you crop a little bit from the left it would be better (IMO)

great blending too

Very calming image. The understated tones seems to work well here. Not quite sure about the amount of space on the left?

One of the best shots I've seen from this location Roman! I especially like the color contrasts here, and the shutter speed for the water is perfect! Excellent image!

Very nice, Roman. There is so much to like about this from the lovely greens to the color in the sky and the nice flow in the waterfalls. The large version is a treat.

First rate image, Roman. Wonderful drama in the sky and you have to love those vibrant greens. How was the trip to Iceland?

I never get tired of seeing photos from this location. Great job on the processing!

Couple of minor notes:

Why ISO 400 and f22? 12mm lens has tons of DOF at f8-11.
I think cropping the left rocks would help if they were a little lower in height then the mountain.

Spot on composition here Roman, you have done a great job in framing this. Your blend looks very real. It's a really nice shot.
