Morning at Öxarárfoss

2015-06-10 By Roger Edwards

Morning at Öxarárfoss

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.

About

Welcome to SkyPix, an online photo book of clouds, weather and water by Roger Edwards. As in a printed coffee-table book, every image has its own page with a unique story.

As a scientist and an artist, I hope my deep passion for the power and splendor of our skies and waters shines through in these pages. If you are a cloud and weather aficionado, outdoor enthusiast, outdoor or nature photographer, art lover, or anyone who craves learning, enjoy...
