The Skógafoss in Southern Iceland is massive.

Panoramic view of a typical farm on the south coast of Iceland... the number of waterfalls along the coast is unbelievable!
Two portraits shots panorama in autobraking (0Ev; -2Ev; +2Ev) processed as HDR with Darktable. The panorama was processed with Enfuse. Additional improvements by means of plugins like Tone Curve, Highpass filters, Lowpass filters, Channel Mixer, Global Tone Map, and others were managed also with Darktable.
Finally, a personalized Orton effect and few Dodge and Burn retouches were applied.
After the storm, the calmness.
I think has to be one of my favourite locations I've shot, for a couple of reasons, 1. there's hardly anyone there as they all go to the much bigger waterfall nearby. 2. It's stunning and a lot more picturesque than the bigger waterfall nearby. 3. Like Seljalandsfoss (but in my view a lot nicer) you can actually get behind the falls here and shoot outward along the valley towards the sea.
But my god does this place make you work to get an image!!. The water spray in the cave here was just non stop, tried allsorts but to no avail, you are constantly cleaning your lens every few seconds only for it to be completely soaked again, and again.... and again. I lost count of the amount of shots I binned on the day, and also once at home there's absolutely loads completely ruined by water spots, I was convinced I'd managed a couple of water free images so it was just a case of trawling the files and (thankfully) finding some, I think I've finally come away with 3 water free compositions from literally 100's of binned shots, not a place you can turn up to for 20 minutes and expect to get something!!
We hadn't intended to shoot sunset here but the amount of time taken trying to get a shot here meant we wouldn't have time to get anywhere else so we decided to stay here and so glad we did as the light was just phenomenal down the valley lighting up the jagged rocks of the cavern walls and the waterfalls beyond, absolutely beautiful, but an absolute ordeal to shoot, But if you put the time in....
I didn't notice until reviewing the files on the camera but from this angle where the land comes together creating the area of sky looks just like a face / head

Gluggafoss is a lesser known Icelandic waterfall, but its situation make it fun to compose with! It's a 2 jumps waterfall, and we can climb over the lower jump, we can see the Eyjafjallajökull form the location.
I think Iceland has to be the single best place I've been to ever for waterfalls, you can't go far without encountering them, small, huge, dramatic, unusual, and simply jaw dropping waterfalls all over the place, such is the way that the well known bigger impressive ones get totally mobbed at times and it can be really hard work being patient to get the shot you want, the area close to here is one such place, Skogafoss, however this isn't the main falls, it's a good way over the top of the main falls and further along the river, although I had really poor weather, and rain there wasn't a soul around so I could set up and just wait it out for any dry spells without hoards of tourists.
As it happens the dry spells never came, and in several hours alone along this area I just had to shoot and wipe the lens and hope for the best with the slowest shutter speed I could manage without getting the front element wet, I hate the rain but the dark dramatic skies beat a blue sky here and add to the image I think.
Even in the rain it was a great place to just wander around and take in the beauty of the place, and of course the rain although making some very slippery surfaces, really helped with the raucous nature of the water flow at my chosen spot and gave nice contrast to the red rocks,

In a walking distance, east of the famous waterfall Skógafoss in the Southern Region in Iceland is a beautiful waterfall that few people visit. The name of the waterfall is Kvernufoss, and it is about 40 meters high. Although the waterfall is visible from a narrow-angle from the main road, it is almost hidden in a beautiful gorge.

The Fimmvörðuháls Hiking Trail is a hiking between two glaciers and a volcano. It is one of the most beautiful hiking trails in the country and a great destination for people into photography.
The Fimmvörðuháls (five-cairn trail) route is about 25km long including 1000m of climbing. It is the area between the Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull glaciers in the south of Iceland.
The starting point is normally by the fabulous and famous waterfall Skógafoss, and ends in the beautiful green valley Thorsmork.

It was at 6 a.m. but it was amazing. I was lucky that our motorhome was in the camping placed aside the waterfall. Flickr: https://flic.kr/p/2h53G45
It was an amazing experience to walk around the waterfall. An impressive set up for your senses and soul.
After a short but sharp rise to the top of Skogafoss waterfall, you see an amazing view.
