Waterfalls of Iceland

Retrographer — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 19:16:51 +0000

Iceland is incredibly suited for waterfalls and also they are amongst Europe’s most powerful and awe-inspiring. They are everywhere! Atlantic climate produces frequent rain and a near arctic location produces huge glaciers, which are feeding rivers throughout the summer. I am listing just a few of them; Gullfoss (golden falls), Skogafoss (forest falls) and Seljalandsfoss, but as we were driving around the island we were passing countless number of waterfalls and every single one them was incredibly beautiful and unique and made us to stop and enjoy the moment.

It started in Inverness just because direct train from London doesn’t go any further, the day when Scottish Open finished. To my opinion, nothing to be missed, because rain was pouring like from the bucket for the last month until the very last day. But here we are, time to flip the card over!

So from Inverness we headed to Loch Ness and then we followed A87 to Inner Hebrides. We diverted a few miles before Fort Augustus. Definitely nice town to see but our purpose was to see real Scotland.

Iceland is definitely on the very top of my favorite countries I have visited so far. With its population of about 320.000 inhabitants, Iceland is quite a unique place to be.

Iceland is closer than you think and the chilliest thing about Iceland is its name! I can’t imagine visiting this country without my recording equipment and a great partner to share all this beauty with. For that reason, please consider these as a must-have before deciding about your next travel to Iceland!

For obvious reasons, first destination we have visited was Reykjavik where we spend one night before taking off around the whole island. Welcoming impression of the whole experience of being in Iceland was just staggering. Mind-bending quietness and calmness after living a hectic London life-style! I instantly felt that Iceland is such a place to enjoy myself taking photographs and making documentary movies. Aimed to use my wide lens 10-22mm for landscapes and architecture, and 18-200 mm for any other opportunities such as waterfalls, icebergs and anything else…

Retro Prague 6 x 6

It seems like everyone is throwing back to the 80s these days. I keep running into photographs that pop simplicity, geometry, atmosphere, beauty, feel and fundamental abstractness. Beyond the lasting memory of the performance itself I want my images to remain long after the other things have faded. Personally, I prefer black & white photography because it does more to evoke an emotion and freeze a moment in time than any other medium.

I am not using any post-production techniques for such photography to keep its uniqueness. Enjoy my retro post!

Photographs below are dedicated to my ongoing love affair with a German lady. She needs a bit more clean up, but I ran some film through and I like the effect. In 1954 came the Weltaflex. A postwar German camera from Welta of Dresden. It’s a nice TLR* (twin-lens reflex), and just the kind of TLR I would recommend for a medium format photography. It’s reliable and quite pretty, but it adds into your weight when traveling.

A twin-lens reflex camera (TLR) is a type of camera with two objective lenses of the same focal length. One of the lenses is the photographic objective while the other is used for the waist-level viewfinder system. In addition to the objective, the viewfinder consists of a 45-degree reflex mirror. The two objectives are connected, so that the focus shown on the focusing screen will be exactly the same as on the film.

The content is of course based on my own personal collection. Only a very few photographs are currently available for public, but fewer is better than a never-ending slide show. Majority have been captured in my very favorite Prague quarter where I lived most of my time. Prague number 5 is located on the left bank of the river. An area that has gone through major changes in its lifetime. From the middle ages, when Smichov was comprised of vineyards, gardens, and hop fields. The late 18th century saw the beginnings of an industrial boom, which eventually led to the replacement of gardens with factories. In the 18th century the quarter was also known as a “hundred-chimney Manchester“. Now! Office buildings pushed out industrial complexes while modern residences replaced cheap working-class housing.

Having said that we all have to keep up with advanced gadgets and technologies, most of my works and equipment is therefore adapted accordingly to objective reality.
