ICELAND | light and spray | August 2010 | 46603A

Waterfalls, like sunsets, force the landscape photographer to work hard for something worthwhile. The combination of changing lighting conditions and a precipitous position right on the edge of the giant Selfoss initially piled on the difficulty. I bracketed different exposures (this is the longest) and got as close to letting light into the lens as I could in pursuit of this slightly mysterious and majestic image of elemental light, rock and water.
