Challenge: Free Study 2008-12 (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-30D
Lens: Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM
Location: Reykjanes, Iceland
Date: Dec 26, 2008
Aperture: f8.0
ISO: 400
Shutter: 30 sec
Galleries: Landscape
Date Uploaded: Dec 31, 2008

 I was originally going to shoot the nearby seas cliffs of Reykjanesviti. It was very windy and the day before there had been a huge storm so the waves at the cliffs where monstrously big. Because the wind was blowing from the sea the huge waves caused non-stop drops of salt water pouring over my car. It was like it was raining and the water would have gotten my gear and my lens glass wet in seconds.

Disappointed not being able to shoot the awesome surf I drove back home. On the way I saw this plant. Decided to take a go at it. This is the result, and I am quite pleased.

Isn't this the same plant that won "pollution"? I love the big dipper up there, really adds to the shot.
