Skógafoss is one of Iceland's grand waterfalls. We arrived before sunrise to beat the crowds and take in its natural beauty. To capture a more intimate look, I used my 70-200mm lens to isolate part of the waterfall and it's surroundings. Blue hour revealed a quieter side to this iconic location, despite the roar of the falls. I wanted to show the contrast and beauty between the power and the calm.
