Geysir

[Stephen]

Just had a short break in Iceland, a wonderful country which I'd like to return to.

One of the highlights was a visit to Geysir. It gives its name to all spouting hot springs.

I used only the Olympus E-P1 on this trip, and with the generous help of Ian, I was able to use a couple of his Zuiko lenses. These shots which show a sequence of the Geysir erupting were taken with the 9-18mm (18-36mm equiv) using a micro four thirds adaptor. Its a cracking lens IMHO and I really enjoyed the use of such a wideangle lens, though you have to be careful with distortion. This sequence of 6 taken with the camera set on multiple exposure have had only minor adjustment in Lightroom.

Re: Geysir

Very impressed with the composition of the sequence that allows for just the right amount of space for the water to erupt into.

Was that good guess work or is this a regular geyser

Re: Geysir

Amazing shots Stephen. Even without the sequence, which is fantastic, each shot is a stunner on its own.

I look forward to seeing further shots.

Re: Geysir

Thanks Graham & Audrey. The shots were set up using a tripod, and I had allowed a reasonable distance for the gesir to erupt into. However it can go up to a 100' high but often it is lower so its difficult to get it exactly right. There were infact another seven in the sequence after these and some went outside of the frame

Hi Stephen. I think the second one looks brilliant, (well, they all do) but the second one where you just see the water start to come out of the round bubble, looks ace.

The sky looks fantastic too

Re: Geysir

Sorry to come late to the party - great series, really like these. In particular, the last shot - the detail of the water is exceptional.

Hey don't apologise I suppose it's what comes of using a tripod and a suitable shutter speed, though I've just checked and it was only 1/160s glad you liked them anyway and thanks for commenting
