Description

This is another waterfall located in Iceland. On my 1992 trip, we saw so many. Some, believe it or not, were hidden from view. This one was way to big to hide. I knew it was big, but sometimes you don't realize just how big things are until you get your pictures back and take a really good look at them. Look how small the people are on the rock in the center of the picture. Nature has a way of making you feel so small.

Technical Explanation

Remember, when composing your picture, use the rule of thirds. Imagine if you drew a tic-tac-toe board over your image. The main focus of your picture should be in one of the four areas where your lines cross. The falls are off center on purpose so that I could so the contrast between the water, and the rock to the left. Both points of focus are approximately at the one third mark.

Also remember to protect your lens. Use a polarizer, or a skylight filter. In this picture, one challenge was to keep my lens protected from the mist of the falls. While I am not too concerned about fine mist for a few seconds, I would not recommend letting your camera get too much water on it.
