Aldeyjarfoss Panorama

Aldeyjarfoss Panorama
Panorama from 11 verticals, EXIF: 1/250 • f/9.0 • 47.0 mm • ISO 100 • Canon EOS 6D • EF 24-105/4,0

At Aldeyarfoss river Skjálfandafljót drops 20m over the basalt colums of Suðurárhraun lava field.

The waterfall can be reached via road 842 (turnoff from the ring road near Goðafoss) through Barðardalur. At the end of the valley the road turns into mountain road F26, Sprengisandsleið, one of the great highland crossings. Aldeyarfoss is 5 km along F26.

eigentlich muss man die Bilder alle auf schwarzem Hintergrund ansehen. Unkontrollierte Wildheit, wunderbar! Im Panorama kommt das noch viel besser zur geltung als im Folgenden.

Merci vielmal, Lutz! Das war mein Lieblings-Wasserfall in Island, ich hätte sehr gerne viel länger als nur 30-40 Minuten dort gehabt... Leider mit Miet-PKW nicht mehr erreichbar, da sind schon ein paar Kilometer Piste davor und die Strafen sind drakonisch, wenn sie Dich ohne 4x4-Jeep erwischen...

Danke Cornelia, da sieht man die Dimensionen besser. Das ist ein Pano aus 11 Hochkantfotos, Kamera Canon 6D mit Kitobjektiv 24-105/4,0. Bei Panos frisst Lightroom leider die Kameradaten...
Wenn Du auf den Pfeil bei Aktionen (rechts unter dem Bildstreifen) klickst, kannst Du die EXIF detailliert sehen und auch Bilder in größerer Größe anschauen.

Gudrun club has replied to Berny club
Danke, Berny! Wir hatten morgens im Norden schönes Wetter, gegen Süden zog es sich immer weiter zu und am Ende der Piste regnete es- leider auch noch am nächsten Tag in Landmannalaugar.
Ihr seid offensichtlich genau andersrum gefahren- von Süd nach Nord.
11.8 years ago.
Berny club has replied to Gudrun club
Naja, wir sind im Uhrzeigersinn bzw. zick-zack gefahren. Erste Hochlandroute rauf, dann die Westküste bzw. -fjorde bis Dupjavik, 2. Hochlandroute runter, 3. rauf und dann Ostfjorde und Südküste zurück.......

Gudrun club has replied to Berny club
So ähnlich war's bei uns auch- zuerst der Westen und dann die großen Hochlandpisten zickzack:-)

Brilliant picture !!
Would like to visit Iceland, how many days would it take to make a round trip ??
11.8 years ago.
Gudrun club has replied to Jaap van 't Veen club
Thank you so much, Jaap!
I depends very much on how much time you want to spend - just driving round the ring road and seeing the main sights can be done in a week. You can easily spend a lot more time, though!
If you rent a car, you are not allowed on any road with an F in its name (highland roads), for that you'll need to rent a 4x4 Jeep. You can bring your own car if you take the Norröna ferry from Hirtshals- that's 3 days one way!
We had an organized tour of full 14 days plus 3 days in Reykjavik and I would have liked to stay longer in most places.

Jaap van 't Veen club has replied to Gudrun club
Thank you so much Gudrun for your information.
Check out the possibilities and who knows, perhaps next year.

You're welcome! Happy planning:-)

Enjoyed your images, some superb scenery to view; a colleague had a great collection of scenic landscapes of Iceland, he was involved in design of a shopping mall in Reykjavik so had quite a few visits.

Gudrun club has replied to Roger Dodger
Thanks a lot, Roger, for your browse through my photos and for all the "stars"!
Your colleague is to be envied, I'd love to go back straight again. Well maybe not quite straight because of the gas pollution;-) Greetings, Gudrun

Nice one with small brother...

Thanks a lot, Tom! The little brother comes form the middle of the rocks:-) This is typical for lava flows, they have cavities and act as a perfect water filter- the water coming out is absolutly pure.

Yes, it is also our thumb rule when hiking: everything sparkling from the rock is drinkable. And yes, in Norway we drank even from creeks, lakes and rivers.

And well... seeing it in full size also revealed interesting basalt pipes and other structures.

Gudrun club has replied to Tomas K☼h☼ut
Drinking from rivers is usually safe if there is no cattle upstream. Norway doesn't have such a big problem with giardia as NZ has.

Basalt is everywhere in Iceland- it's more or less made of the stuff and the mantle plume has an endless supply of it;-)

Ein fantastisches Panorama - besonders auf schwarzem Hintergrund.
Ich bedaure es, dass ich dort nie war. Habe erst dieser Tage einen fantastischen Film über Island im TV gesehen...

Gudrun club has replied to ©UdoSm
Großen Dank, Udo! Der Wasserfall ist an einer 4x4-Piste, da ist es nicht so überlaufen:-) Island ist ein Reiseland, in das es einen immer wieder zurückzieht (wenn man mit dem Wetter klarkommt;-)

A magnificent panorama Gudrun........perfectly done! I love the sky and the cloud formations and the movement and power of the water. The rocky landscape is just amazing!

The PiP is really suited to the portrait orientation............which shows off the waterfall beautifully!

Two outstanding shots..!!⭐️

Gudrun club has replied to Keith Burton club
Thanks a lot, Keith! Of the many spectacular waterfalls in Iceland this is my favourite- with the added bonus of being on a 4x4 piste away from the usual tourist haunts, so blissfully without crowds-)

A most beautiful panorama here Gudrum. 11 verticals is going some for a panorama, you could probably make a big wall mural/photo with that original size. In any case, it has worked splendidly, bringing us within touching range of the water with full screen, not quite filling my two 27" screens at once. I see you have the mandatory figure, for scale too. I want to be there!
Very well done. ⭐

Good luck with the CWP. Herb

Gudrun club has replied to Herb Riddle club
Thank you so much, Herb! A panorama was the only way to get the whole scene. From the viewpoint you are too near for a single shot and further up rocks obscure the view.
