HDR Photography | Setting Star in Iceland

HDR Photography | Setting Star

The conditions were absolutely perfect to photograph Vestrahorn Mountain in Iceland. The clouds lifted just before sunset and there was this beautiful atmospheric haze that almost seemed to make the sun glow! Iceland’s landscape is so unique that you feel like you’ve been transported to another planet. I felt like I was looking at some unknown star a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. For this particular image, I wanted to shoot at F22 to create a starburst effect through the lens. The higher the f-stop the stronger this effect will show in your sunset photography. While setting up and enjoying the beautiful scene I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the work that I do and the beautiful places that I get to share with you all. Thanks for following along with me!
