Challenge: Backlighting VIII (Standard Editing)
Collection: Portfolio
Location: Austurengjahver, Reykjanes, Iceland.
Date: Nov 23, 2025
Aperture: 8
ISO: 320
Shutter: 1/4
Date Uploaded: Nov 23, 2025

 Taken at Austurengjahver at the Reykjanes peninsula. The small river flows from a mudpool from where the steam arises. Had to wait for the right day to get the right lighting conditions, right amount of wind to move the steam a little bit.

Don't you just love it when everything comest together?

Used 1 3 stop reverse grad, and 1 soft grad filter to expose for the sky and the steam. Focus stacked in PS.

It's ok, but I think I'd prefer something more personal and up close with a story.
