Oxarafoss waterfalls, 'Golden Circle' - Iceland.
Iceland is divided by the Mid-Atlantic Rift; some parts of it, such as the Westfjords and Reyjavík, are on the North American tectonic plate, while others, such as Vatnajökull glacier and the East Fjords, are on the Eurasian plate. Iceland is the only place in the world where this rift is above sea-level, and nowhere can you see the edges of both plates as clearly as in Þingvellir. You are literally walking between 2 continents!
This was the first place I ever visitied in Iceland outside of the City, 3 visits ago, it was a dull overcast rainy day, no snow, and flat light, while we where there out of absolutely nothing we got treated to an incredible (but very brief ) vivid light show at sunrise which lit the entire valley, as soon as it had started it finished, and back to the dull sky again...
This trip was the first time I'd been back since and the conditions couldn't have been more different! thick snow, ice everwhere, and frequent blizzards blowing through the valley.
Once again for a very brief moment the sunlight broke out of nowhere and lit up all the valley, picking out all the details and reflecting in what was left of the (mostly frozen) river, I was in the wrong place for this shot as I didn't see it happening and had to leg it to get into position, narrowly missing the opportunity of getting a sunstar behind the cliffs, that said I'm really not complaining as I didn't think I would get any kind of golden light at all on the way up here!
For anyone who has seen the shots & videos on facebook you will know what the conditions were like as my D850 is completely covered in snow on the tripod, blizzard conditions, one of our party looked like a yeti as he was that covered in snow.
Hard work but toitally worth it, I much prefer stuff like this than straight forward shoots as you really do feel like you have worked for it.
