Skogafoss from the Drone, a photo from Rangarvallasysla, Sudurland

Photographer's Note

Here is the larger/clearer TE Beta version. SKOGAFOSS .

I think its time for another Drone photo, what do you think? Please take a look at the Beta version, its so much better.

There are many wonderful waterfalls throughout Iceland, so many to fly over :)

This is one of the more popular Waterfalls, SKOGAFOSS in Skoga, located in southern Iceland. I was here the last time i visited Iceland, but I didn't have my drone back then. So you know I was eager to do some flying.

The weather conditions and lighting were perfect, I used up a couple of batteries here with lots of flying time.

In the WS are a couple more shots if you're interested.

Hello Craig,
Drone photos are always welcome. This one is spectacular again. The green slopes look so special too, especially in this pattern of light and shadows. I like to see the tiny people in the foreground too. Great work.

Hi Craig,

This is a spectacular view. Excellent lightning and a POV that shows not only the waterfall but also the beauty of its surroundings. I love the shades of green here.

regards
Robert

Hi Craig,isn't easy to comment pics likes these,absolutely fantastics from the drone the 3 view from above of Skogafoss,it's a great way to see this beautiful waterfall in a different perspective,useful to who been there like me too. Have a nice day and thanks,Luciano

holmertz (74423) 2018-04-17 3:22

Hello Craig,
It's hard to comment a photo like this. What can I say, except that the scenery is terrific and that your drone has once again taken pictures that generations of photographers never even dreamed of. Even more fascinating to me than the scenery and the waterfall are the tiny dots of tourists crowding to see this natural wonder the traditional way.
Best wishes,
Gert

Hello Craig,

Now that we are learning how to use a drone, I view your photographs with much greater respect! This is a cracker of a shot, revealing the magnificence of the waterfall, its wild, green location and its tremendous scale! Those people look no bigger than ants!
How good that you have been able to show the effects of the light and shadows over this vast expanse of land!
The w/s are also immensely good shots!

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Magnificent buird-view from above the impressive waterfall, Craig.
The scenery scale by themany people at the foot of the cascade, and the green slopes and elevated terrain is outstanding.
In general: scale clarity and contrast are most importent - always.
Bravo,
Ike

Bonjour Craig,

Une photo qui doit ętre assez rare. Tu as réussi tous les éléments ŕ partir du point de vue du drone ( qu'on ne voit pas souvent), de la gestion des couleurs vertes qui sont spectaculaires. Le monde semble bien petit autour de la chute.

Amicalement

Serge

Great, perfect moment when the waterfall was in sunshine and surrounding hill in shade, excellent photo from the drone, the waterfall looks majestatically

Quel splendeur, c'est magnifique, la vue est grandiose, plongeante a souhait, la cascade dans cet univers vert est fantastique, bel effet de la lumičre, intéressant l'arričre plan, j'aime beaucoup
Belle soirée

Hi Craig,

The wideness of the area is giving depth to the composition. You have captured well the power of the water falls water fall. The point of view is showing the details of the scenery. The light is enhancing the beauty of the colors. I am still using my tablet, the new computer should arrive next week-end, have a nice day.

LuisGustavoLima (4952) 2018-04-17 16:17

Oi, Craig!

Impressionante a textura da vegetaçăo, parece veludo haha! A paisagem é absolutamente fantástica, com um verde abundante e essa majestosa cachoeira. Cores bonitas e luz excelente.
Uma fotografia ótima!

abmdsudi (73990) 2018-04-17 23:04

Hi Craig
An exquisite location of nature beauty and that's what you call a waterfall! highlighting its immense detail with incredible volume of water crashing down. An impressive viewpoint and some foreground interest, inclusion of the 'ants' certainly gets the scale of this in perspective.

The catch light gives a feeling of the power of the water - being my fav element here. Indeed a dramatic capture from this height, blended with gorgeous fresh green & brown. Splendid lens work, Congrats
Best regards

BennyV (25880) 2018-04-18 6:58

Another superb drone shot, Craig. The result is stunning, but I do have mixed feelings about them. In a serene and peaceful place the buzz of drones can be very, very annoying. Then again, here it looks like there are quite a lot of people about anwyway.

Cheers

Benny

danos (110395) 2018-04-18 8:18

Hello Craig,
breathtaking the view of all the photos from the waterfalls in Skoga,with the people to look so tiny.Impressive the scene from above with the green to cover the rocky areas.Just unbelievable.

Regards,danos

ktanska (33679) 2018-04-18 10:26

Hi Craig,
That canyon between hill slopes looks surprisingly narrow from this high angle. The impression is quite different from what I saw from my own eye level. But it's because that fall is so much bigger that it looks on this one.
You have fantastic light here, brightest spot just oin the fall. Green grass looks like velvet.
Kari

PiotrF (35776) 2018-04-19 14:24

Hello Craig

Hello Craig
At the end of June I hope to be one of the little figures who walk around here below. Lars cant join , he has to work, but because we do not have to fly and go with our own car on the ferry, I can go here with Annelies (my wife), after we have first visited the Faroe Islands. I'll see if I can spot some abandoned houses for you.
Have a good weekend, groet Rob

sacimar (35249) 2018-04-24 5:27

Hello Craig,

beautiful image of this place, you used perfectly the drone to take a great nature image, I like the green landscape with the waterfall, congratulations!

Best regards,

Sergio

cornejo (56986) 2018-04-25 12:54

Hello Craig, excellent aerial view of this beautiful waterfall, very well composed and captured in this good and beautiful picture. An interesting image, with good sharpness, light, color and quality. Very good and beautiful work perfectly done, my congratulations my friend. Thanks for sharing this interesting work.

Good afternoon and happy rest of the week.
All the best from the south of Spain.
Angel.

PaulVDV (43884) 2018-04-26 12:18

Hello Craig,
Your drone has found an excellent high position for this splendid shot :)
I'm amazed by the many different greenish tones in the landscape. The light made it very beautiful together with a few overhanging clouds that caused an attractive difference between light and shadow.
Of course the waterfall is impressive.
Best regards, Paul

gervaso (24101) 2018-04-28 13:31

Hello, Craig!

This is another fantastic view from your drone, showing the imposing waterfall and the beautiful tones of green that surround it! The people look so little down there, they are a good scale for the grandiosity of this landscape! And it's much safer to take photos from the sky with a drone than with a machine like the one I showed in my last photo...

worldcitizen (11456) 2018-04-29 13:12

Hello Craig,
The people are so tiny!! This POV is amazing, and the landscape is like a mossy wonderland. :-) It's like the land is covered in green velvet. Of course I also like the waterfall, but I'm mesmerized by everything around it, too.

jmdias (82711) 2018-06-21 12:49
