Kirkjufellsfoss Waterfall, Some Details

This beautiful waterfall was the scene of an almost tragedy as we looked up to see Junko's backpack flying off the upper bridge, over the waterfall, and into the river below. Miraculously, it got caught in an eddy between two rocks near the shore, literally the ONLY place where it could be potentially retrieved. In fact, our guide @palljokull became the hero as he managed to walk onto a rock, reach down, and pick it up wet, but undamaged and relatively dry. All survived and we were able to continue our trip unchanged -- but this became the best story of our trip!
Here's Junko's beautiful image of the context: http://365project.org/jyokota/365/2017-03-25
Wonderful image and story!

Now that's silky water. A one second exposure? Guessing an ND filter or two was used. Fav by me.

@stray_shooter Actually, 2 ND ones (Conkin system) at 2 and 3 stops. I also used a "Big Stopper (10 stops)" on a few really bright days, but this one didn't need that much reduction.
March 30th, 2017  
Wonderful shot.

@palljokull Thanks Páll -- I was happy with how this one came out and appreciated your help in sorting out how to use the ND filters more effectively.
March 31st, 2017  
What a difference ND filters can make in a long exposure! Beautiful, silky water and lovely composition. Exciting story to accompany this photo, too!
March 31st, 2017  
Perfect smoothing and nicely composed with the fall starting in the middle and then coming out bottom right
March 31st, 2017  
Excellent composition and lots of blurred water. Fav
March 31st, 2017  
Whew, good to hear disaster was averted, that'd get you going anytime. Love this shot, the silky water is so good against the rocks and the mossy growths. The way you've framed this shot brings out the best of the textures and patterns of water-flow.
