Any morning spent at a big waterfall is a great use of the forenoon hours. This beautiful cascade tumbles over columnar basalt in Thingvellir National Park of western Iceland, a marvelous delight for all the senses and for the geologically curious mind. Photographing waterfalls in the daylight, with feathering, is a challenge—the key (as done here) being to maximize exposure time through some combination of high f-stop, low ISO, and shading from cloud cover.
