Seljalandsfoss Morning View

Seljalandsfoss - Iceland

 

Never underestimate the importance of travel!

 

During my recent visit to Iceland, I felt compelled to search for compositions that I had not seen in magazines or posted on the internet. There is something about new travel that I believe makes a landscape photographer look at scene composition more intensely. My latest blog goes in to a little more detail about this in a commentary regarding what I believe is a great subject for debate. “New Gear vs. New Travel.”

While I spent the previous evening photographing this waterfall from up-close, I decided to walk around the perimeter of the falls during the following morning and try to find a fresh location for a sunrise capture.

 

While not necessarily spectacular, I found great interest in this view. I liked the perspective and scene balance, and what is more important; no rain jacket was required to shoot this particular view.
