Unforgettable Hvitserkur - Imprinted by LightCaptured
If you search online for info about Hvitserkur in Iceland, you'll find plenty of photos and probably realize it's "just" a rock in the ocean in the Northern part of Iceland.
For me, however, that is a place I will never forget.
I spent there a whole afternoon, evening, I met the sunset and then waiting for the blue hour to expire.
But why "unforgettable"?
My other two travel-mates has left me alone there, down on the rocky shore to make my tens of long exposure photographs. Then, I had to climb up to where our car was parked and this wasn't easy, not at all. It was quite slippery and I was thinking that I will fall down and in the darkness, who knows what happens. Moreover, that is quite a solitary and remote spot, far away from any establishment.
It felt dangerous and when I finally got up to the car, I needed a shower as I was sweating, hehehe.
It was all worth it. I made lots of unique, to my taste, regular and long-exposure photos and I have that place, all to myself for several hours.
Nice, huh?
Check out the exposure time of the last photograph, if you're into Photography ;)

Upvoted! Thank you for supporting witness @jswit.
Wow!! That is quite spectacular!!! I can understand why it would have been an impressionable moment for your memory books.
Your work is really fantastic! I see you sell your work as stock photos. Have you ever considered selling editions as nfts as well? Photography is quit a popular genre.
Thank you so much!
I tried selling some stuff on OpenSea and Foundation, it was only a waste of money and time as I spent hundreds to get my registration fees, etc. and then sold nothing.
The real problem is I am kinda introverted and avoid the spotlights and people would buy any shit from someone famous, right :)
All of my NFTs there are exclusive 1/1 and not so expensive, I guess when I die they would have more investment value, lmao

Great photos, funny, this rock looks like a hyena drinking water from a puddle :)
That's a nice abstract of yours ;)
To me it looks like a giant guardian who's keeping the half of his face underwater ;)
Thank you!
выдержка почти 5 минут. Тебе хватило f/22 или пришлось использовать ND фильтр?
Шикарное место для съёмок. Думаю, там нет недостка в фотографах? )))
Отличные результаты, как всегда. Но скалистый берег после заката ... ты рисковый парень))
Спасибо!
Most of those photos are in the blue hour and after it, so I didn't need a ND filter, just the lowest ISO (100 or simulated 50 my camera has) and f/22 ;)
That rock formation is in a low populated area, only dirt roads there and a long drive is needed. Also, the steep shore... The photographer needs to be in a really good physical shape, I'd say :)
а f/22 это не слишком много? После f/13 начинаются неприятности с деталировкой. Но в таком пейзаже детали не очень важны, согласен. Тут важен сам образ )
Хорошая физическая форма нужна всегда )))
К сожалению, у меня рядом нет гор ... приходится бродить по лесам :)
True, f/22 is a lot :) but with a great lens, the issues are only visible at 100% and in our modern days nobody uses such zoom on our screens, right.
I also live in a valley, no mountains nearby but that's the beauty of Bulgaria, 2-3 hours drive could take you everywhere - sea, mountain, cave, river...
какой именно объектив ты имеешь в виду?
Ты очень удачно живёшь. Я тоже не жалуюсь, однако Финский залив это не совсем море и и в горы за 3 часа я тоже не попаду.
Есть у меня в этом диапазоне северная часть Ладожского озера, но ... я так там и не побывал ни разу. Это дело пора исправить)
In my humble Canon related experience, all "L" series lenses manage very well. In this case it was my 16-35mm f/2.8 Canon L lens. ;) It's not the latest generation and has some flaws but is still good value for its high price :)
Spring is the best time of the year to explore places, right ;)
Я имел дело только с Sony и старой советской оптикой для тушки.
Про оптику Canon ничего сказать не могу, но доверяю твоему опыту)
В любом случае 16-35 должен быть резким в широком диапазоне.
А недостатки старых объективов часто становятся достоинствами в художественной съёмке. Ты сам знаешь, всё в твоих руках).
Да, весна особенное время, особенно после зимней "серости" и однообразия :)
I know personally a handful of great landscape Bulgarian photographers and two of them say that Sony bodies with Canon L-series lens is the best combo for landscapes. ;)
I had Sony camera in the past, excellent color management, it got stolen, unfortunately...

Much appreciated, have a great new week!
That is quite beautiful and strangely evocative, in an "otherworldly" sort of way. That's the beauty of Iceland, though... much of it feels like you are on a different planet.
True, so true. That's a feeling I have when traveling there, as it is a piece taken from another planet, so many different things...
