Öxarárfoss


This is Öxará river at Thingvellir, where I went on Sunday with Ragga... it was a lot of fun and one or two scary bits... lol

I took a lot of photos but the best ones were those where I borrowed Ragga's ND filter, so now I'm buying one for sure!

I think you have been holding back on us. You have done very well with the long exposures. Love the silky smooth effect.

overwhelming view ... this world is so beatiful - each time
i see one of your landscape pics it leaves me breathless

this one makes me want to feel the softness of the water surface
( even though i know it's a long exposure effect )

btw - what's an ND filter ?

Pixie pro replies:
Thank you mo! This is a cold but fascinating world... :o)

An ND filter is a very dark filter that allows you the long exposure in daylight, turning it into night ;o) - without it the photo would just be white... A bit about it on Wikipedia

Glæsileg mynd Begga. Æðisleg áferðin á vatninu, ég verð að fá mér svona filter! Og til hamingju með eitt hundruðustu myndina ;o)

Pixie pro replies:
Takk Oddur, já er ekki bara málið að skella sér á svona filter?
Hey, var ekki búin að fatta þetta með mynd nr. 100 ... takk :o)

... and that waterfall looks so eerie. One long flow of ICE!!! Good work, Pixie! Checking Amazon there seem to be several different "densities" of ND, 0.6, 0.9 etc... I guess which one you use depends on how long you want the exposure to be etc.. Hmmm...

Pixie pro replies:
Thank you Nigel :o) This place is magnificent, no matter what season, but you're right, it is a bit eerie, icebound like that...
And you're quite correct on the filter densities :o)

Beautiful image with nice smooth water! I'd like to see more of the water in the foreground. I guess you didn't find an ultra wide angle lens in you Easter nest...

Pixie pro replies:
Thank you Arnold :o) No, sadly there was no wide angle lens in my Easter nest :o) but I have not given up hope yet...

Þessi er hreint út sagt frábær Begga, oooo hvað ég hefði viljað vera með ykkur, vonandi kemst ég fljótlega til Þingvalla áður en allt þetta frost er farið.

Pixie pro replies:
Takk Guðrún :o) Ég fékk að nota filterinn hennar Röggu þarna til að ná "Röggu effektinum" á vatnið ;o)

Gudrun pro replies:
Ég snapa hann af henni næst, vona að það séu passlega margir mm fyrir mína linsu, einhverja linsu bara :)
Posted 6 months ago. ( permalink )
Pixie pro replies:
Hann passaði reyndar ekki hjá mér, ég hélt honum fyrir framan hjá mér ;o) en það virkaði bara svona assgolli vel!

Gudrun pro replies:
Já maður tjaldar því sem til er :) Ég er á fullu að taka myndir fyrir Tungumálaskólann „minn" www.skoli.eu og þurfti að taka mynd af gosi (ekki eldgosi) Þótti leiðinlegt að nota kók og átti bara eina tóma appelsínflösku frá því um daginn. Fann ekkert gos með sama lit, en er nýbúin að kaupa mér litla prismu til að horfa gegnum. Lagðist í sólina sem skein inn á stofugólfið, setti prismuna fyrir framan linsuna og þetta tókst bara bærilega, það er sem sagt bara límmiðinn sem er á myndinni og hann varð að mörgum límmiðum. Þetta var reyndar bara hægt með því að nota nýju 12-24 linsuna, glerið er „bogið" og prisman er það líka, dálítið, þannig gat ég náð sæmilegum fókus. Ég hendi henni snöggvast inn hjá mér svo þú getir séð árangurinn.

Já, það er oft skemmtilegustu myndirnar þar sem maður býr sér til lausnirnar sjálfur :o)
Hlakka til að sjá flöskuna! :D
