When Skógafoss Turned Green

When Skógafoss Turned Green

My friend and I had joked that a perfect day in Iceland would include (1) blue skies as we went four-wheel-driving in Landmannalaugar, (2) a colourful sunset at Seljalandsfoss, and (3) the northern lights over Skógafoss. Seeing this meant we were 3/3 for the day! Shooting here was actually quite difficult, since the aurora was so bright and the waterfall was so dark. Trying to light paint it just resulted in lighting up the huge amount of spray coming off the falls. But really, we got to see the aurora over one of Iceland's more famous waterfalls. It doesn't get much better than that.
