È proprio quando credete di sapere qualcosa che dovete guardarla da un’altra prospettiva. Anche se può sembrarvi sciocco o assurdo, ci dovete provare.
(Robin Williams nel film L’attimo fuggente)
Uno stelo d'erba si riflette in una placida pozzanghera al tramonto, fra nuvole d'oro, e con il suo riflesso, insieme, forma un angolo diverso, per un diverso punto di vista.
Allo stesso modo dovremmo sempre guardare le cose, cerca di allungare lo sguardo un passo in più di dove pensavamo di arrivare prima di aprire il nostro punto di vista
Il titolo è un gioco di parole, perché in inglese "right angle" vuol dire sia angolo retto che l'angolo giusto, ovvero il giusto punto di vista

Nice ridge travel along the Tararua range between McGregor and Angle Knob (1510m).

Since I still have a significant backlog of images from Iceland, sometimes - instead of going through them one after another - I look through them randomly to see if any stand out, and this time it was one from the beautiful Hraunafossar which we visited at the end of our trip.
After we enjoyed a quick dip in the hot water of the Búðardalur hot pot, which was on our way from the Westfjords to Reykjavik, we continued our drive through the amazing landscape and decided to make a short detour to the Hraunafossar. From the parking lot, it was only a short walk to the viewing platforms where you can see turquoise water coming out of the porous black lava which is covered with beautiful greenery. Every time I arrive at epic locations, I kind of feel overwhelmed and need a little time to find some compositions that work, but in this case I have to give credit to my girlfriend for spotting the composition you see here, which I shamelessly stole from her (after politely asking of course).
Taking this image wasn't easy as we were standing on a wooden floor that was shaking when people were walking over it (we could have moved a little to the side, but then the angle was not ideal and trees in the foreground blocked the view a bit) and since it’s not too far away from Reykjavik, I guess you can image how many people visit this location. I also had to zoom in to 200mm to isolate the waterfall and using filters to get a longer exposure together with the occasional wind gusts made this composition not easy to get.
After getting at least one sharp image, I noticed that my girlfriend was struggling with sharpness and soon we identified the problem: Her tele lens does not have a tripod collar and she didn’t have an L-bracket at that time. This means that - in order to take a long exposure in portrait orientation - she had to tilt the ball head of her tripod to the side, where the weight of the camera and lens caused the camera to move down introducing some blur in her images. At first we thought that the reason might be her cheaper tripod, but then I gave her my tripod with which she got the same blurry images. This meant that the only reason could be the small tripod plate on the bottom of her camera, and it only took a quick look to see that it was noticeably shifted. Fortunately, I had another spare tripod plate with me and using this together with my tripod made it possible that she also got the result she wanted. After spending way to much time at this location, we continued upstream to see the Barnafoss as well. Finally, we got a coffee at the restaurant next to the parking lot before we continued to the Reykjavik campsite with a slightly sad feeling that our trip goes to an end. I hope you like it!
PS: Thanks again to my girlfriend for having such an amazing eye for compositions and for letting me steal this one. If you have some time, I think she would really appreciate it if you would also check out her images: www.flickr.com/photos/193130995@N02/
Decided to post another from this great monument. I liked the processing of the other one so I kept a similar look.
AAW: Shot with a Phone
My husband and I were driving home this morning when I saw potential in this building and scene. Took some shots with my phone and liked this angle.
