Seljalandsfoss is one of the most famous waterfalls in Iceland. And for a good reason. It's majestic and whole scenery is breathtaking. I only had chance to photograph it during the midday so it was quite a challenge.
Thanks for looking!
Your feedback is always appreciated ;)
Seljalandsfoss is one of the best known waterfalls in Iceland. Seljalandsfoss is located in the South Region in Iceland right by Route 1 and the road that leads to Þórsmörk Road 249. The waterfall is one of the most popular waterfalls and natural wonders in Iceland. The waterfall drops 60 m (197 ft) and is part of the Seljalands River that has its origin in the volcano glacier Eyjafjallajökull. One of the interesting things about this waterfall is that visitors can walk behind it into a small cave.
Der Fluss Seljalandsá stürzt hier 66 m tief über die ehemalige Küstenlinie in die Überschwemmungsebene des Markarfljót, in den er kurz darauf mündet.
Man kann hinter den Wasserfall gehen und durch die Wasserschleier auf das Land draußen blicken.

one of the easily accessible yet beautiful waterfalls in iceland. this was shot at around 1am. family shot it from afar and went back to the car to sleep..i decided to venture out behind it. we did see it again the following day but at that time with not a soul in sight i couldn't pass it up. its a wonderful thing to experience this all by yourself.

The best thing about the beautiful Seljalandsfoss is that you can walk behind it ( actually all the way around it). Its not the highest or most powerful of waterfalls in Iceland but on the impressiveness and fun scale its at the very top.
This shot was pretty tricky to capture. The spray from the waterfall was pretty intense getting my lens covered in water in matter of seconds. The trick was to place the camera as close to the cliff as possible, where the wind did not carry the water droplets. Then cover the lens with a cleaning cloth, manual focus and the as soon as you lifted the cleaning cloth to release the shutter and cover the lens quickly again.
For this shot I did not even have to clone a droplet in post processing.
This shot was taken early evening as the sun was unusually red this high on the horizon. Typically the dry air in Iceland leaves the sun shining sharply until it at the horizon but this day the air was humid and the sun got red as it approached the horizon.

Einzigartiges Panorama von einer Drohne, was mittlerweile so nicht mehr erlaubt ist.

Comments as always appreciated, but please no flashy award codes.
Seljalandsfoss, del río Seljalandsá, cae desde la montaña con una altura de 60 metros.
El entorno estaba helado, y no pudimos acceder a la parte de atrás de la cascada ya que se encontraba cerrada debido al hielo.

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.

Seljalandsfoss is one of the most famous waterfalls of Iceland. It is very picturesque and therefore its photo can be found in many books and calendars. I think its claim to fame is that you can go behind it.
Seljalandsfoss is situated in between Selfoss and Skógafoss at the road crossing of Route 1 (the Ring Road) with the track going into Þórsmörk.
This waterfall of the river Seljalandsá drops 60 metres (200 ft) over the cliffs of the former coastline. Nearby this waterfall are other smaller waterfalls including Gljúfurárfoss, which you can literally walk to from this falls.
EXPLORED Thanks!
In partnership with my friend and landscape photographer Slawek Staszczuk www.photoss.net/iceland.html, I’m organizing a week long photographic tour of Iceland in June 2016. I have already led several of these tours and I’m excited to be collaborating with Slawek for this year’s tour. It will be a small group, maximum 4 guests, in an RV. No luxuries, we’ll be moving all over the country focusing on the photography, 24/7. The tuition will include image editing for anyone interested. A reasonable level of fitness is necessary as there is some hiking involved. If you’d like a chance for 1:1 training in a stunning landscape, don’t miss out on this opportunity. Iceland Air flys from many direct locations in Europe and the USA.
Two spots left!
Everyone had already gotten completely wet, so it no longer mattered to stand behind the waterfall, although it was a challenge to keep your camera lens dry by having to clean it a lot :):)
Beautiful waterfall in the evening sun. Seljalandsfoss is one of the best known waterfalls in Iceland. Seljalandsfoss is located in the South Region in Iceland right by Route 1 (Iceland) and the road that leads to Þórsmörk Road 249. The waterfall is one of the most popular waterfalls and natural wonders in Iceland. The waterfall drops 60 meters and is part of the river Seljalands-river that has its origin in the volcano glacier Eyjafjallajökull. One of the interesting things about this waterfall is the fact that visitors can walk behind it into a small cave. It was a waypoint during the first leg of The Amazi
ng Race 6.
Visitors gather beneath Seljalandsfoss south of Hvolsvollur in South Iceland. The 60 meter (197 foot) water fall lies on Seljalandsá, a river whose headwaters lies beneath the glacier that covers the volcano Eyjafjallajökull..The river falls over former seacliffs. The coast now lies a couple of miles west of the cliffs. The majority of the cliffs are made up of pillow basalt, hyaloclastites, and interbedded sediments which were deposited underwater during the Upper Pliestocene. The waterfall sits close to Seljaland, a farm in the lowlands north of the cliffs. The site is part of the Katla UNESCO Geopark.
Seljalandsfoss, au sud de l'Islande. Cette chute d'eau est visible depuis la route 1 et facile d'accès, le plus dur étant d'éviter le flot de cars de touristes. Notre logement se trouvant ce soir là à 10min en voiture, nous avons eu tout le loisir d'attendre le coucher du soleil sans être dérangés.
