Svartifoss Waterfall, Vatnajokull National Park, Iceland

Svartifoss waterfall is 1.5 km or a 45-minute hike from the nearest car park. I went there in September a few years ago, and on the day I captured this image, it was very overcast with showers of rain and misty conditions.

In my opinion, these are the perfect conditions for black and white photography.

What stood out to me about this waterfall was the striking contrast between the rocks and the water. My main goal when I was pre visualising the shot I wanted to capture was to show the smooth flow of the water, while at the same time keeping the detail in the water.
