Hólmaberg ...

the clouds are amazing!!!
CLICKY

I sat down yesterday on the edge of Hólmaberg to make an image about the strong waves breaking on the rocks down below. I had a 3.0 (1000x) ND filter attached to my wide angle lens and applied some of my own weight to hold the tripod steady in the strong wind.

Just to give you some idea on the proportions in this frame I would guess that the lighthouse is a at least 10m high.

The image: HDR of 2.5s, 10s and 30s exposures at f10 with contrast enhancements in Photoshop.

Beautiful composition and you did well to keep your tripod steady. I nearly lost my camera twice in the last week because of the strong winds at Dýrholaey and Jökulsárlón. I found it helps to have the camera upside-down between the tripod legs... even in Icelandic wind.
