Lava Fields on Fire

    Went out shooting last night. The weather wasn´t really promising. Overcast, rainy and pretty dark.

    But then I drove out of the rain. Behind the rain the low laying sun was shining and its rays managed to shine through the rain causing the clouds and rainfall to lit up with this amazing red and yellow color.

    The lava field is just beside the road. Walking far in this kind of lava field is horribly difficult and slow. Lose lava rock underneath is full of holes covered by the thick soft moss.

    Mt. Helgafell in the background.

    Canon 30D, EF-S 10-22mm @ 12mm, 0,5 second exposure at F10 using ISO100. 3 stop hard egde GND filter on the sky.

      Glæsileg mynd. Flottir litir. Alveg eins og það sé eldur uppi.
