Gullfoss

And... eventually!!! My first new long exposures since Easter! And, from an entirely new location, for me. I was in Iceland last week, for work, but took a few days off afterwards for a little roadtrip :-)

 

For most part, unfortunately - from a photo perspective - the sun was all too willing to follow me wherever I went (and, at this time of year, the sun barely sets at all)... On this evening, though, some dark clouds magically appeared just as I arrived to the majestic waterfall Gullfoss. Of course, it only took a few minutes before the rain was pouring down instead! My clothes got soaked, my woolen hat (!) got soaked, my camera got soaked, my camera bag (and all it's contents!) got soaked... But I was standing there, big smile on my face, with an umbrella to try to cover the camera, realising I'll take a good rainfall over sunshine any day... At least when I have my camera with me :-)

 

Oh, and, the white around the waterfall is not a PS mistake, it's the mist/spray from the waterfall :-)

 

Also, now that the new Flickr allows for 640x640 views, I'll start uploading the photos in that size. Meaning that those of you who still uses "old" Flickr will most likely see oversharpened versions...
