The Queen's Crown

Story:
On an incredible night in Iceland, the Northern Lights appeared like a crown above the queen of waterfalls, the impressive Skógafoss.
In an attempt to capture as much of the sky as possible in the shot, I equipped my camera with a 12mm fisheye lens. However, with this type of lens, it's necessary to get very close to the main subject—in this case, the waterfall—so that it doesn’t appear too small in the frame. The challenge, though, was that being up close and directly in front of the waterfall, the spray drenched both me and the equipment, making the task of capturing the image quite difficult.
After overcoming the technical difficulties, I was able to capture this beautiful shot of the Northern Lights over the most incredible waterfall in Iceland.
