May 2023 - Godafoss Falls in Winter
About the Image(s)
Of the three major waterfalls in Iceland - Godafoss, Gulfoss and Selfoss Godafoss is my favourite, both in winter and summer. The horseshoe shape of the falls and the ability to capture images from either side of the river sets it above the other two. I have been fortunate to visit the falls in both winter and summer.
This image was captured in January 2018 on a Panasonic Lumix GX8 fitted with the Lumix 12-35mm f2.8 lens set at 12mm (35mm equivalent 24mm), 1/30 sec, f5.6, +0.66 stops exposure compensation, ISO 200.
Initially processed in colour following my standard work flow and converted to monochrome on a Black and White adjustment layer and tweaked on a couple of unmasked Curves layers. Finessed with Topaz DeNoise AI and sharpened using the High Pass filter in Soft Light mode and sharpening halos removed where necessary.

Another of your beautiful landscapes from Iceland always a treat to see,you can feel you cold just looking at the image contrast spot on blacks and whites beautifully handled I particularly like the detail in the foreground promontory. Posted: 05/11/2023 15:38:48

I have only been there in the fall. I like the scene in winter better but not sure I would like the cold. It is a wonderful image and needs no improvement. Susan Posted: 05/23/2023 16:27:10
