What you can’t see: Freezing cold windgusts & me and my equipment almost falling in the canyon 🤪

One of my favorite places on Iceland 😍

Thanks for this. I always wonder if I’m the only who has misadventures like this…and if I was a real photographer, nothing bad or clumsy would ever happen (and I would never miss a shot).

It took me 10 years to be happy with whatever outcome I get on attempts for photos, wherever or whenever. And in my opinion, a really good photo is only possible with good lighting conditions, therefore it’s almost pure luck (and maybe an eye for meteorology) to get an outstanding photo. All my favorite shots in my portfolio happened during fog or/and sundown/sunrise and/or northern lights or whatever stunning weather conditions, the location itself won’t change at all, despite of the talent or camera or planning.

Must have been quite the drive this time of year.

Amazing photo!
I have a lot respect for anyone who can capture this level of photo from there. I have been twice and both times chickened out with the expensive camera/tripod.

It’s even more beautiful in person

Great shot! Would make a nice wallpaper if the resolution wasn't that gimped. I understand the reason though...

Too green to be taken in February.

My wife and I managed to drive to this, we encountered a motor home stoped at the river but no people. We found 4 drunk Germans in the snow at Haifoss. Offered them a ride back when we were done and they declined. “We made it here, we’ll have to earn our way back.” LOL.

My husband and I were able to drive around the entire country and saw this beauty. We went at a tentative time during COVID (restrictions were just starting to lift) and there were almost no tourists. It was, and will forever be, one of the best trips to Iceland I take

Wow. Going to Iceland this summer and now I have one more waterfall to add to the list. Incredible photo!

That’s the place from Prometheus right?

Damn looks stunning. How long does it take to get in that position?
obi21 t1_j784quw wrote
Getting to the place was also kind of hairy with the city style SUV I had there, if memory serves me well.

I cannot believe this is a real place.

I’m guessing it’s not that green at the moment?
PepeSilviaLovesCarol t1_j78rjkj wrote
It’s not, but not too wildly snowy either!
mikes41720 t1_j78u27l wrote
What’s not in picture is the waterfall on the right side that’s just equally as stunning!
The 2-hour drive through the F-roads was really worth it. Even though we could only stay for 15 minutes or so due to the freezing wind. It was brutal, even though I wanted to stay much longer to admire the beautiful view.
Hobbit_Feet45 t1_j78ydqj wrote
It’s an amazing shot. I’d say it’s worth it, it’s that good.

The hike down was one of my favorite things I did in Iceland! Do you have this in 2560x1440 +?

I went to the south coast yesterday from Reykjavik. My car was almost blown off the road. The weather has been wild over the past week.

question: if one wished to visit, and particularly if one wished to see the black sand beaches, what time of year would be the best?
ramy2019 t1_j7afo8k wrote
Wow!
PepeSilviaLovesCarol t1_j7av87m wrote
I’m not an Iceland expert but technically all beaches in Iceland are black sand beaches. Winter is best for winter activities like ice cave exploration, snow mobility on glaciers, and seeing the northern lights. Summer is better for road conditions and doing outdoor hikes and stuff like that.
You can see black sand beaches at any time tho. The most popular one is in the town Vik on the south of the island.
patrickverbatum t1_j7b2gu7 wrote
thank you! i had no idea all the beaches were black sand.

I should have it in tons of Megapixel bc it’s a panorama with a 42mp cam - I’ll send it to you!
Wimair OP t1_j7eoamn wrote
Indeed. But the composition wasn’t as pleasing for my eyes so it’s not in the frame. And „yes“ to the wind thing as well 🤣
Wimair OP t1_j7eob5l wrote
Wimair OP t1_j7eodj9 wrote
The ride is pretty annoying because you need an 4x4, the „hike“ is like 10 minutes tops :)
Wimair OP t1_j7eohbe wrote
It’s my favorite :)

Same here, was there late 2021.

Iceland is just stunning. It feels totally otherworldy. Lile every 30 minutes of driving, the entire landscape changes. Nothing like I’ve ever seen before.
Wimair OP t1_j7ey23l wrote
How was it??
Wimair OP t1_j7ey7l9 wrote
My tripod was in full - flat to to ground - mode and I still was to afraid to don’t hold it down with my hands. Some of the strongest windgusts I ever witnessed.
_Silvestris_ t1_j7glbmf wrote
It was absolutely amazing! We got super lucky between 2 crazy weather days, I’ll post a pic!
