Title: Westfjords, Iceland.
Post by: IcelandAurora on July 17, 2014, 05:32:29 pm

This shot was just around the corner from Dynjandi  (http://icelandaurora.com/tours/dynjandi/)(the most beautiful waterfall in Iceland).  I liked the stillness of the fjords and the sky was fairly interesting. 

This was a fairly wet camping trip, but absolutely stunning in so many ways.

Burned onto my sensor with the Magic Cloth Technique (http://icelandaurora.com/blog/category/magic-cloth-technique/)

Eerie and very interesting.
The highlights on the grass are very disturbing but the image is very powerful. I found myself looking for a Viking longship entering the fjord.

My question then becomes is the “Magic Cloth Technique” better than HDR??

What a wonderful image. I find myself wondering how was that rock broken? Was it split by lightning perhaps? It speaks volumes about a primeval world and forces no longer common.

Great photo but for me, the top is a bit too dark (too much magic, maybe  ;).

The sword was pulled out.
