Rajan, such a fantastic location! The neon green is really makes the image pop. Looks like you were able to get up to the edge to get the photos. Is this in Highlands? Love your Iceland work. Thanks for sharing 🙏

Parul,

Thank you. Yes, this is very much in the Highlands on what is known as the Syðra (South) Fjallabak route.

These are great. How did you get flowing water from high shutter speeds on your drone shots?

Thank you, Jung and John.

John, you noticed! I used the Path Blur filter in Photoshop on a single exposure. Another way of doing it is to take multiple exposures (12 to 15, say) from the same point, then use the Smart Object Stack Mode (Mean) calculation in Photoshop. Unfortunately I had only 5 or 6 frames and they were not enough to simulate a 0.6s to 1s shutter needed to get the smooth flow of water. On the water in the flat(er) areas a Surface Blur filter was used.

Ronny - thanks. I have been there multiple times out of which only twice were conditions (for photography) to my liking. I recall you had posted photos of this place maybe a year or two ago.

It's amazing how much sense of depth and scale is in these photos. They immediately feel so three-dimensional or something, it's hard to explain.
