"Karl" The Rock in Kirkjuvogsbás. │ Iceland Photo Gallery
In recent days, the weather here in the Southwest corner has been boring, windy and rainy.
In such a stormy weather, there is often great beauty to be found, even though it is unbelievable.
In the storm yesterday (2020-09-19) I headed out to Reykjanestá to photograph the rock "Karl" in Kirkjuvogsbás, because I was expecting a lot of nice waves. The right wave didn’t come as I hoped for, because I stood there shivering in this stormy weather for over two hours with the camera and tripod, wiping the rain off the filters, cold and dog wet, but always believed that the next wave would be the right one.
After about 80 clicks, it came.
It was a magnificent sight and a great experience to see force of nature white wash this beautiful 51m high rock.
The brightness was a bit special because I had to use a Kase Polarizer filter along with a Soft-GND 0.6 that turned down and a Soft-GND 0.9 that turned up to get rid of the glare and even out the light.
This is fun.

Tungná River at Jökulheimar │ Iceland Photo Gallery
In the middle of nowhere.
A black sand desert in the highlands, a river is supposed to slide slovenly but is frozen stiff and you will only hear the crack in the ice when it brakes.
This is a good place to "get away from it all" - the silence is absolute, even by bird calls as they think it’s too cold, and it is.
