There have been many times on my workshop these past couple of years where I have been rendered almost speechless and witnessing Gullfoss in full flow pre-dawn in the dark is one of them.

 

This shot was taken October 2017 during a beautiful morning. One of the main advantages in visiting Iceland in the autumn (by far my most favourite time of the year) is that the lower path down to this viewpoint is open and accessible because in the winter, with the snow and slippery ice, the authorities close it off relegating you to having to shoot from the top cliff which to my mind is not nearly as enjoyable.

 

The sheer power of this waterfall has you feel incredibly small and insignificant. The challenge for me and my clients was to capture this amazing location at its best.
