Kleifarvatn Lake at Reykjanes │ Iceland Photo Gallery
This morning I decided to go out and take pictures, no matter how the weather would be. It's been boring photo weather and I was a little tired of sitting at home, even though there are plenty of projects to solve.
When I got to Reykjanesbraut, I saw that there was hope for a little sunshine by Kleifarvatn, so I headed there. There where waves on the lake, the clouds were flat and the sun was stuck behind some clouds.
I settled in a well-known place by Kleifarvatn and began to wonder what kind of picture I wanted to take.
I wanted to take a picture where the Lake was calm, there was a little movement on the clouds and I could see some waves. The foreground was supposed to be in focus along with the background and I could feel the depth. Hmm, I really wanted everything, even though nothing was available. I laughed inside myself.
Oops. The sun was peeking out from under the clouds so now I had to have a tight grip if I was going to take advantage of the light, because the gap was small.
I slammed the 16 - 35mm Canon lens on the camera (Canon EOS5DMKIV) and pushed the Polarizing Filter onto the front glass (easy because I am using Kase filters and they have a magnet – outstanding design) to get the waves in the clouds if possible , put an ND 64 (1.8stopp) filter in the first slot (to calm the water and get some movement on the clouds) and a GND 0.9 (3stopp) Soft Edge Graduated filter in the front slot to even out the light between the sky and of the earth. I slammed everything together on the tripod and went to my position (I had already mocked the place while I was waiting for the sunshine). Set the camera to Manual. 16mm; ISO at 100; f / 22; 15 sec and focused on the moss that was next to me. Then click on another image with the same settings but now with the focus on the peninsula that goes out into the water almost at the centre of the photo.
When I got home, I stacked the pictures together, color-corrected them and achieved what I almost wanted. The footage is classic and its fine because I just went out to enjoy taking some pictures.

There are places here on our beautiful earth that is unparalleled and no one can resist.
I have the privilege to have the knowledge of one such place, not far from my home here in Reykjanes which I visit regularly
I feel like I'm in the photographer's heaven. The colors, the shape, the environment, the closeness, the stillness, the smell, the atmosphere and etc. It's basically everything about this place that attracts me again and again like a strong magnet.
I'm not comfortable unless I go there often in the summer and preferably in the winter too if possible.
Now is the time when all the color flora has changed because autumn is coming and I am looking forward to acceptable Photographic weather so I can go and recharge my batteries for the coming darkness in Iceland.
This is one of my photos, of a small part, from this place.
Ps. if you look at the picture carefully you can see me and my shadow standing down there like a little sewing needle.

Sveppur - Fungus │ Iceland Photo Gallery
Autumn is a time of change. Life takes on a different form and falls into hibernation. The colors will be varied and the darkness will strike. The fungi, like other plants, decay and it is fun to take pictures of them. The hats break and they roll down into a small mound of dirt and eventually disappear into the landscape as if they never existed.
A fungus is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes . . . all info at: https://www.patreon.com/RafnSig
