My 24-70mm lens has an 82mm filter thread, but I’m currently eagerly awaiting my new Canon 24-105mm f/4 Mark II lens, that is expected to go on sale this week (Nov, 2016). I bought this particular filter a number of months before the trip, and was so happy with the images from this filter, when I got home, I bought five more filters from Breakthrough Photography. Jökulsárlón Looking Forward to the 24-105mm Mark II Lens! This was a 20 second exposure using my new 10 stop 4X neutral density filter from Breakthrough Photography. Jökulsárlón Glacial LagoonĪfter spending most of the afternoon on the beach, I walked back up into the glacial lagoon, and did a few more shots, like this one (below).
Note too that I also considered lowering my tripod a little, so that the waves reached further up into the sky, making them look bigger, but that also reduced the amount of sea and distant waves in the shot, and I didn’t want that, so I stuck with my tripod height. The reason I speed up the shutter speed was because I was now closer to the waves, and wanted to freeze the movement just a little bit more than a 1/50 of a second would.
Basically I increased the shutter speed by two stop, going from 1/50 to 1/200 and that means two stops less light would get into the camera, so increasing the sensitivity of the sensor by two stops gives me exactly the same exposure as the previous image with a faster shutter speed.

I actually speeded up my shutter speed a little to 1/200 of a second for this, and increased my ISO to 400 as well, to counter that change. I also used my cable release, without a timer, so that I could release the shutter at the optimal moment as the waves crashed.įor this next shot, it’s obviously not possible to avoid cutting off the large chunks of ice, as I was square on, and there were no gaps, so in these circumstances I start to look for the best place to cut off the ice, and that results in this composition for this scene (below).Īgain I was using my cable release to release the shutter at the best moment for the waves. I shot this image with my 24-70mm lens at 24mm, with a shutter speed of a 1/50 of a second at f/14, ISO 100. Over-kill, you may think, but this is how I’ve trained myself to be very careful with how I compose my photographs. If I get home and find something annoying sticking in the edge of the frame that I didn’t even see, I abandon the shot. I generally allow myself to clone things out that I was aware of in the field. I just don’t want to be messing with large chunks. When there is this much ice strewn around, there will often be a few small chunks that are cut off, but I’m fine with cloning those out. I’ll move around and find an angle and focal length that enables me to compose the shot without a chunk of ice being cut off by the edge of the frame. When composing shots like this, I’m also very conscious of where the chunks of ice fall in the frame. I set up my camera on a tripod, as I often do, and carefully positioned the left edge of the frame just to the left of the end of the ice. Here I was waiting for the waves to crash bigger than average, and I was also conscious of the waves rolling in as well, trying to get a good combination of both. The sky was great on this afternoon too. We literally can spend an entire afternoon just photographing a relatively short stretch of beach, and continue to find compositions that work. I love the color in the ice that washes up on this beach from the glacier.
