In this landscape photography vlog, I take a trip to one of the most famous waterfalls in Iceland, if not the world, Skogafoss in the south of the country.
To avoid the crowds and get the best light, I arrive at Skogafoss around 10:00 at night. Even at that time of the day there are still about 30 cars in the carpark and around 40 people exploring the base of the waterfall. So I took a walk up the stars to the right of the waterfall to a platform where you get spectacular views of the area from above the waterfall.
You aren’t allow to fly drones in the area, but with stunning views from the platform, I didn’t need to get the drone out. After a couple of attempts to set up only to be interrupted by rain, the weather held off long enough to set the camera up for my first shot.
I tried out the polariser and ended up keeping it on the Nikon 24-70mm lens as it was giving me a nice effect cutting out the glare on the surface of the water and making the rocks darker. I was going to use the Lee Filter 6 stop, Little Stopper but the reduced light from the clouds and the f-stop of 11 that I was using gave me a shutter speed of 2.5 secs. This was perfect as it was taking around 2.5 secs for the water to fall from the top to the bottom of the waterfall. This was going to give me the silky smooth effect on the waterfall that I wanted.
After capturing that first shot, I explored the area a little more to find a few other composition of this gorgeous area.

Great video again Andrew. Sounds a little crazy but I loved the close-up shot of the water cascading down. Right up my street 👍🏻👍🏻

@kingkenny334 7 лет назад

Visited Iceland in January this year and out of all the Waterfalls we saw Skogafoss was my favourite. Great blog Andrew 👍

As always mate. Perfectly captured. 😊👍🏻

Awesome video Andrew.Cheers mate.

@Firstmanphotography 7 лет назад

What a fantastic way to round off your series of films from Iceland. A really atmospheric video that made me feel like I was right there with you. I know it is a well shot location but I simply wouldn't be bothered. Those beautiful images are now in your portfolio forever to be cherished. Work to be proud of. Thanks for sharing.

@gregkennedy0118 7 лет назад

This video popped up in my recommended after I went to Iceland. After watching a few more videos i subscribed, your content is so well made and you do a brilliant job explaining the choices you make whilst photographing. Amazing photos!

@Andrew_marr 7 лет назад

Welcome to the channel Gregory and thanks for subscribing mate. I really appreciate the feedback and I'm so glad you're enjoying the content.

@gregkennedy0118 7 лет назад

Could you please do a video on your editing process if you don't mind sharing it. I have photos from Iceland too but I can't figure out a good way to edit them as the colour are quite muted. You seem to get a lot of vibrant colour in your photos without making them look edited much. Thanks!

@EwanDunsmuirImages 7 лет назад

Hi Andrew. Really enjoying watching your vids, but also the way that your POst processing has changed over time. You geting some beautiful moods, but cant help but get these moody shots in awesome Iceland!. One day!!!!......

@mujahidurrehman 7 лет назад

Aaah Skogafoss. What a beauty... I loved that place. That hike seems like a bit intense (i never went up there). You got the place to yourself, which is a blessing as it can become very overwhelming with tourists. I love the compositions and the final results. Thanks for sharing your experience and taking us to the mighty waterfall. Well presented.

@Johnny1973IB 7 лет назад

Andrew, another great video. Images were outstanding as well. Keep it up. John.

@Snowcatnz2 7 лет назад

Awesome video Andrew. Amazing shots all of them. Great story telling as well. Love our style mate. Looking forward to the next one with eager anticipation!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍

@wernerseptember1558 6 лет назад

Great photograph indeed. Really inspiring. I'll be going to Iceland in a couple of months. To be exact, 13 June 2018. Can’t wait to try out all your techniques and settings. Some advice would be much appreciated.

@jordannet 7 лет назад

i followed you on instagram , but tell me when you will post video of images processing ?

@joaobispoaragao991 7 лет назад

Hello Andrew, great video. I'm Brazilian and I dream one day to photograph in Iceland. I would, if possible, talk about the cost of staying in that country for a week. A big hug!

@ronralston3592 6 лет назад

Hi Andrew, thank you for your wonderful videos, after moving from the country to Perth I found myself struggling to get out and capture some of Perth's beautiful landscapes and seascapes. I turned to RU-vid and your awesome video's came up, in a word inspirational, liked, subscribed and ticked the bell

@billonthehill9984 7 лет назад

Very well done Andrew... I see you are still in Iceland! It appears you moved in a little closer on the f/9 shot after doing the f/11 a tad farther away. I can't make up my mind which one I like better...I decided I like them both! Working with the conditions you had, nice job catching the shape of the water before it gets too milky. Thank you, Bill Farr...

@johnbentley1056 7 лет назад

Stunning location. Well captured. The images are beautiful.

@cathyann1601 7 лет назад

Outstanding video, Andrew, and the shots are superb! Absolutely stunning!

@alangore1463 7 лет назад

Beautiful images Andrew. I also like the consistency of your videos in showing the journey to find your composition - the particular aspects that made you make the choice for your composition.

@photografiaaustralis2131 7 лет назад

Stunning work Andrew and as usual, a wonderful video. I must say, those Lavender fields were screaming to be shot. Hopefully you got some images of them off camera. Greg

@Neilberg56 6 лет назад

Fantastic shots and a great video

@Andrew_marr 6 лет назад

Thanks so much mate! 👍

@55beethoven 5 лет назад

Great videos, Andrew. I’ll be there next week and have been watching your series on Iceland with much enthusiasm. They’ve been super educational and full of tips where to go. I shoot mostly 35mm film with an M7 and wondering if I should take that with me or leave at home.

@andykeeble1 7 лет назад

Your inspirational work just gets better and better Andy and this vlog is no exception mate.👍 Your production is becoming really polished, the drone work is superb especially considering you’ve not had it long, it really adds something to your videos but you don’t overdo it as some seem to. The images of Skogafoss are stunning mate, I particularly like the close up, almost abstract one but the landscape images of the waterfall are just as good. As in other vlogs of yours, I find the dialogue fascinating and particularly like that you take the viewer into the location and don’t just use the cliché views. I assume you’re back in Australia now mate, I hope the homeward journey went smoothly. I look forward to seeing how your local based vlogs have changed now you’ve had this amazing trip, I bet it will take you a while to settle back in though. Take care mate and stay safe.🍀👌

@NarroginRick 7 лет назад

Sure have enjoyed your vlog's from around Iceland Andrew, its contrast and colours are awesome thank you so much for sharing your adventure with us, you have provided us with so much inspiration with this lands beauty and wildness . cheers indeed :)

@bmkq2007 7 лет назад

Wonderful work dear Andrew, may i ask you some questions regarding iceland and norway if you have been there (Norway)?

@trevorhughes7399 7 лет назад

Another really enjoyable vlog Andrew. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences in the Northern Hemisphere, it has been delightful. Given that our summer is over and temperatures are plummeting, I look forward to seeing some nice sunny vlogs from down under! All the very best mate.

@philippeguichard5670 7 лет назад

Great video as usual. I really enjoy being "transported" via your videos to these beautiful places. I like your last water fall shot best (the tighter framing). Keep the good work mate!

@jawadsaleemastro 7 лет назад

Great video as always Andrew. I wonder if the 200-400mm lens would be better in a situation where you would have the issue with blowing mist? I've seen a couple of shots of a similar waterfall with a person standing close to the waterfall as a point of interest. Do you think standing further off and zooming in would work?

@NicholasEJones 7 лет назад

Just a stunning shot, great vlog

@Andrew_marr 7 лет назад

Thanks Nicholas, it's a stunning location.

@georgenash2471 7 лет назад

Fantastic video once again Andrew! Keep them coming, looking forward to some more from the Oz :)

@elzbietaarno2181 7 лет назад

Thank you Andrew, spectacular shots of the waterfalls. loved the close up of the falling water. The weather back home is starting to warm up, although we have rain over the next few days.

@ssdeshpan 7 лет назад

Was eagerly waiting for the last one from Iceland. Beautiful video!!

@danielb8877 7 лет назад

Great video Andrew. Keep them coming because they are both inspirational (I really want to go myself now after watching your vlogs) and informative. I do really like the journey up to the destination too as the surrounding areas are often just as nice. Also don't worry about vlogging in front of other photographers. Your content is awesome.

@eltinjones4542 7 лет назад

I had to photoshop people out of my image from this location, of course it was about 5.30pm when we arrived!

@TomCornell1 7 лет назад

Just discovered your channel; thoroughly enjoyed this episode!

@ehsansoltani5194 7 лет назад

Nice Video as always, I was 2 months ago in Iceland as well. Your videos brings up a lot of nice memories. In regards to waterfalls what I experienced there, was missing of my pictures with fast shutter speed in many cases. When now I am looking back to the pictures slow shutter speed and silky waterfall reduces a bit the feeling of how big the waterfalls were.

@marinakyriacou6525 7 лет назад

Wonderful video as always and such amazing shots!

@Andrew_marr 7 лет назад

Thanks so much Marina. How did the auditions go? When do you find out if you have a part?

@marinakyriacou6525 7 лет назад

They went well, thank you very much for asking. I've already found out and I got the part of the wicked witch :D

@davidjenbrown 7 лет назад

Wow, some great shots and drone footage. Always look forward to your posts and never let down. I said this before but I think your vlogs are the best photography videos on YT because you explain so much of the details around the shoot. Thanks Andrew

@kevint6757 7 лет назад

More banal photos from Iceland. What's the next location RU-vid content creators will beat to death?

@pjalbert6395 6 лет назад

I, thank you for the clear and concise explanation of your image selection. The selections are very, very well done.

@abdulrhmanfawakrjii7394 7 лет назад

@mashaolenkgapele7765 7 лет назад

Fantastic, I like the fact that the area is not cordoned off

@Andrew_marr 7 лет назад

Yeah, me too but one day they'll have to do something to manage the large crowds they're getting! :)

@scotty4418 7 лет назад

Andrew, a great ending to what has been a fantastic series from Iceland. The colours of your images are really stunning and bring the scene to life. Looking forward to seeing more of your vlogs back in Oz but will you still need the wooly hat :)

Lovely photos and wonderful video - awesome package.

@shaunmullen9874 6 лет назад

Playing catch up with the videos but again, great video and amazing shots Andrew.

@allanmarshall4582 7 лет назад

Hi Andrew, another great video and some nice shots. Are you missing us over ! Not the weather I guess. Water spray is a real pain. Trying to keep of the lens. Had that issue early in the year at Portland Bill in Dorset. Take care now..

@nkellyuk 7 лет назад

The car park is virtually empty compared to when I was there in the evening a few days ago! I absolutely loved Iceland, the scenery was spectacular and a photo opportunity around every corner.

@tomwhite7895 7 лет назад

Andrew. Simply awesome. I am always amazed how you can get a spectacular image from all the overcast and mist.One question though. Did you consider removing the railing at the viewing platform on the shot from the base of the falls? I find my eye going right to it as it is not natural and seems out of place ..

@davidthomas670 7 лет назад

Another superbly crafted video Andrew, thank you.

@georgegraham4851 7 лет назад

Just beautiful Andrew especially the first shot of the waterfall.

@ChapMan806 7 лет назад

Once again Andrew, you have gifted us spectacular images and video content of a very special place in the world.

@richardwinlondon9689 7 лет назад

Another good blog Andrew. Is it your personal preference to use a "letterbox" format or is there some other reason? I find it very appealing how you use it.

@trevordrake 6 лет назад

beautiful! How did you manage to make it at a time with so few tourists? I was just there and unfortunately a mass of around 50 tourists all crowded around the falls, made it impossible to capture a good shot.

@ayosh7291 6 лет назад

Can you gives which filters and holder is best.? Can you suggest me to buy

@markhollis5644 7 лет назад

Another awesome video Andrew, I like the way that you explained the troubles you encounter and how they are overcome, along with the times you've visited too. Do you have any plans to release a video on how you edit your images?

@Max-cd8ii 7 лет назад

Beautiful images, they made me want to go there right now! From your vlog perspective i thought your angle was a bit weird in the fist shot, but then the image itself looked great

@johnallibon2792 6 лет назад

Hi Andrew. You nailed it. Great explanation and brill pix - superb - well done, JA

@peterbucek2136 7 лет назад

Great shots, but honestly, I think that with these magnificent waterfalls it is sometimes better to use a slightly faster shutter speed at several 1/10s of a second to show the structure in the falling water which will very well emphasize the sheer power of the waterfall.

@SoundsandImages 7 лет назад

Worth the crowd dodging to get the shots Andrew! Not sure if you have already headed home to the Southern Hemisphere yet, but this has been a fantastic series and wish you a great finale and trip home and thanks for the inspiration.

Wow, what an awesome location. Thanks for sharing, Andrew!

@davevowles8093 7 лет назад

Hi Andrew, yeah nice interesting vlog. My camera is waterproof but I still like to cover it when it is raining. Your shower cap which I have watch you use a few times is a simple but great idea, I am now on the lookout for one.

@TheFlyingJocks 7 лет назад

Great images there Andrew . really glad you used the drone to capture an image in this video shame you where not allowed to fly it over the falls . Really need to get over to Iceland next year if i can .

@MrPanthers23 7 лет назад

Amazing photos. Great vlog. What do u think about not using a polarizer on the 24mm shots? I feel like the glare of that shallow water on the lower left corner of the photo would help accentuate that leading line towards the water fall. Just food for thought.

@brendanjohnstone4493 7 лет назад

I was just there this summer it was unreal and thank you for helping me re live that experience because i miss Iceland so much! Enjoy it while you are there Andrew!
