If you want to capture the sunrise and sunset in your photos, visit Iceland in August or even early September. However, you won’t get to see sunrise or sunset. In June, you will have 24 hours of daylight, plenty of time to fill your memory card with beautiful waterfall photos. Bring a microfiber cloth to wipe the water spray off of the front of your lens.īest Time to Photograph the Waterfalls in Icelandįor long days, lots of sunlight, and relatively warm weather, visit Iceland between June and September. Not only do you risk your camera getting wet while photographing the waterfalls, but it rains (and snows) a lot in Iceland, so this will help protect your camera. Polarizing filters reduce the glare on the water and can make your colors more vibrant.Ī waterproof cover for your camera is worth having. It also helps to use a polarizing filter. I recommend experimenting with a few different shutter speeds and pick your favorites later when viewing them on your computer. Longer shutter speeds result in a very blurry, frozen effect whereas shorter shutter speeds can still blur the water but preserve a little bit of the detail. How long you choose to leave the shutter opens depends on the amount of light available and what kind of effect you want to produce with the water flow.

GULLFOSS PARKING ISO

I set the ISO to 100 and experiment with shutter speeds from 0.5 seconds to 2 seconds (adjusting the aperture for proper exposure).

GULLFOSS PARKING MANUAL

To create the frozen waterfall effect, shoot in manual mode. It darkens the scene you are photographing, allowing you to shoot with a slower shutter speed.

On a bright day, you will also need a neutral density filter.Ī neutral density filter is like putting sunglasses on your camera. To capture the blur of the moving water, you will need a tripod.
