Skogafoss
Here’s a picture of Skogafoss in Iceland treated a little differently to my usual. This picture was taken on a very dull, miserable morning to be honest and the day really didn’t hold any promise for a photograph of any sort, or so I thought. I took some pictures anyway, despite the conditions, of course. Processing the pictures in black and white however with a low key approach, there was a picture there after all. There really is no such thing as bad weather..

Great shot Adrian, bringing such a great mood to as you say a rather dull morning. A great lesson here, which I sometimes forget…there is always something beautiful to see in every type of weather. Cheers to a great week!

Thank you Randall. When you’re away for a limited time, you make the most of whatever weather you’re confronted with. The results can be surprising and it’s something easily forgotten when we get home. I wish you a great week too! :)

Thank you Bente! Much appreciated! :-)

Yours is the greatest accomplishment… finding the drama and beauty in what is not seen readily, it’s the art in photography.

Thank you so much Shimon. Such a lovely comment!

Opinions and preconceptions are so powerful aren’t they? But the urge to photograph. ..even stronger! What perfect balance, my eye keeps zooming back to the waterfall. This is simplicity itself. I love the brooding sky and the detail in the foreground.

Thank you so much Lynn. I’m so glad you enjoyed this photograph. I very nearly just didn’t bother to try and process this image, it seemed to hold such little promise, much like the day as I said and yet, reaction has been so positive. A lesson to be learned for sure. :-)

It’s easy to take a good photo in good (or easy) light. It takes skill to do so in more everyday conditions… Love the low key processing you went with.

Thank you very much Johann, Much appreciated!

i was here in June 2015, at a time when the sun was shining. Compared to your photograph mine don’t do justice to the location. My excuse is that I was in a tour group, and by the time we had walked down the side of the waterfall to the bottom, the bus was waiting so time for photography was very limite!

Thank you Adrian. This is the drawback with a lot of the Iceland tours, the clock is always ticking and the bus is waiting..

WOW!

Thank you Edith!

Black and white is certainly a different take (but I do remember some from older posts). But it makes Skogafoss stand out in a different way, doesn’t it! The photo is beautifully processed.

Thank you very much Otto. The weather seemed to suit the blacvk and white approach..
