 Last minute entry as so often. Most of you think Iceland is heaven for photographers, but what many of you don't know is that our weather is incredibly unpredictable and very often very dull, gray with very little contrast, too much wind for long exposures, too heavy skies for any kind of light giving us muted colors, so sometimes when deadlines are looming we simply have to find a way in post-processing to make things work, such as increasing contrast and adding gradients to create any kind of dynamics. I hope it worked :) This is a 30 second exposure shot with a 6-stop ND filter and a circular polarizer.
