The power of the image is intimidating. Pictures of the waterfall resemble gas nebulae in pictures of deep space. Congratulations on a big round of applause.
Bad conditions don’t exist in landscape photography , there’s always a shot and you sir have proven this once again !! The storm shots were superb and the waterfall rainbow sublime !! Love this one buddy
Thanks so much for watching my video! Which image from this video ended up being your favorite? Please let me know below. Also, you can check out all of these images in high quality here in my new blog post, I also share some extended thoughts on weather conditions for landscape photography! www.shainblumphoto.com/2022/10/16/iceland-2/
You are my photo hero. Your mythical monster is just mind blowing. It’s not a competition but you are surpassing all your you tube cohorts in style and substance
Thank you for the video. You made me visit Iceland through your camera and this is what I do and believe as landscape photographer, make people visit different places through my camera. Well for the waterfall photo it feels like there is a shadow of a baby on the left. Thank you gain
Michael, The rainbow patterns on the falling water were magical, and are yet another example of the variety of great images you create with the 100-400 mm lens. Your work never ceases to amaze and inspire. With every video I think it must be impossible to top, and then you top it with the next video! The consistently high quality of your stills, your video, time lapses, and drone images is just unparalleled. Amazing, amazing work!
The stormy images remind me of the formation of the earth. so powerful and full of emotion, amazing for such a minimalistic photo that you can create such an emotional response.
The dark, moody picture gave me a sense of creation. The formed water spay on the right seemed to be created by the chaotic fog and mist on the left side. It is a beautiful image.
Inspirational photography, especially the close shots of the rainbow colours on the falls. Your mono close-up of the falls is breath-taking! Literally elemental, like the forge of life… thanks for sharing.
Wowh, great photo's! The one (at 12:30) you asked what we viewers think it represents: I see beautiful chaos, crashing waves, space nebulas. Specially love the light an texture in the "wave" at the left bottom, in great balance with the "black hole nebula at the left top part!!👍👍
I found the close up images quite eery, but fascinating at the same time. Looking at the image at 11:58 I thought I saw an eye with a tear drop in the top left quadrant. You proved that no matter the conditions, creativity trumps all. Nice work.
Are you kidding!!!!!!!! Are you sure that is real. Just as well a master like you was there to capture it. Finally an appropriate use for the word -Awesome. Bravo 👏
@@tdawg719 Hey thanks so much, funny enough when I made this video and did the voice over I wasn't super fond of that photo. But the more I have looked at it over time, the more I have enjoyed it! I don't have it listed yet. But I am happy to add it to the print store if you are interested :)
I agree, Michael - the stormy close-ups are far more impactful than the pretty sunset image. Your favourite is mine, too. It reminds me of a gas cloud or nebula in space. Amazing place, captured beautifully. 🦘😄🇦🇺
Spectacular images both still and moving. The mythological creature pic... I see it too, and a wisened wizard in the background plus diving demons on the right half. So many faces. Love it.
It's said that every photo needs a subject. But when the whole scene is the subject, as in your chaotic waterfall photo, the confusion makes you start to ponder/think/imagine. You know what you're basically looking at, but you start to imagine what it's like to be there. Sometimes, if done right (as yours definitely does), it generates a more powerful feeling in the viewer, as no 2 people will walk away feeling the exact same thing. That's my take on it anyway. Thanks for sharing, amazing pics.
The pics at 11:51 and then at 11:59 are absolutely stunning, love how you managed to capture the movement of the water into those incredible textures. And they really gives the impression of being inside a storm: I can almost feel the humidity on my skin by just looking at them. Bravo!!
Rainbow flames at 5:42 creating a man's face side on looking down, the rocks creating his hair or a hoodie, easily interpreted as a portrait, photography becomes art in these telephoto shots, stunning work Michael, other worldly!
These photos of the waterfall and rainbow are probably some of your best yet that I’ve seen. Absolutely surreal and unreal. Hope to see you out some time in the Bay Area.
Michael, I have watched thousands of RUclips videos, scrolled thru tens of thousands of images on social media but never felt as compelled to comment as I have with this video. A simply magnificent achievement in putting this together , the final images are breathtaking. The waterfall rainbow images are absolutely magnificent. Thank you for posting , congratulations. Rgds Greg.
The moment your favourite image popped on screen I instantly was reminded of the illustrations of Alan Lee and his artwork for The Lord of the Rings books ... an amazing photograph.
Wonderful video! My wife saw a silhouette of a child in the upper left and I saw a half-closed eye of a creature in the mid-left. Lots of fun to stop the video and take a close look at the images.
Absolutely stellar shots Michael !!!! so much so, all I can see is not water but Hubble Telescope type images of galaxies and space dust - absolutely breathtaking images.
12:26 Yes! That's pretty much what I saw at first viewing. To the left, there seems to be some dark figure of a woman in a wispy white dress & then to the right is the mythical monster/beast, just its head & I guess hand reaching out towards the figure. Unless there's a rainbow created by the waterfall spray (as shown earlier), I rarely do telephoto shots on a waterfall...this vlog has convinced me that I need to start! 🤯🤙🏾
Michael I love how you use your 100-400 lens to capture some very compelling and unique landscapes. I recently added this focal length to my bag and I am working to see things differently as you do so well with your intimate shots. Your have really captured some epic images in Iceland.
Love the shot at 9:13, the misty atmosphere, the bird and the waterfall is just the perfect combination, absolutely stunning! The photo at 12:17 I see the profile of a little boy's face at the upper left corner.
Photos of Iceland just send me to primordial times. LOVE the shots you captured (as usual Michael - you are such a d**n fine photographer), and your points are all well taken. Do love the last shots on that crappy day - yes, big fan of the close-up of the dark and mythic falls. But I have to hand it to you for all the aerial shots w/ the drone, again - AHHHH ICELAND!!!!
The image at @ 12:25 conjured up the idea of a waking Titan: Right hand over his head as the water pours onto the gap between left shoulder and head. Good stuff, more please.
Incredible images! That brings so much emotions... Thank you very much for doing this 😊 And I see a child staring at the waterfall, with his knees against his chest, meditating (like the Rodin's sculpture "Le Penseur"/"The thinker", I guess)
Micheal your photography is stunning. The way you put your videos together makes it so enjoyable to watch, you are certainly one of the top landscape photographers on youtube.
Great video and amazing images! Iceland is really a photographer's playground. I agree that the zoomed in images of the falling water patterns are much more compelling. The patterns and detail are eye candy. The added colors of the rainbow are great but, even the monochromatic shots work well.
Goosebumps at the waterfall/rainbow shots. With this music. I tried the 100-400 at the Photopia in Hamburg. Awesome Video! Favourite Landscape Photography Channel! ❤️😊 Greetings from Germany!
Amazing work Michael, I really enjoy the intimate scenes you were able to capture on this trip. These personal views of this amazing place represent a new approach to the iconic shots we have come to see over and over. Thank you for sharing these images with us and inspiring us to find more out of our photography. Thank you!
I stumbled upon these rainbow shots on Instagram a few days ago and was instantly blown away, and through the magical powers of the internet, RUclips just suggested this video. Is this a 'big brother is watching' situation? Perhaps... but I don't care; I am glad I found your stuff. Phenomenal work.
Start the video, pause immediately, thumbs up, then lean back and enjoy the video 😎😊
I appreciate you! Thanks so much for the support Marquess!
Why pause ?
So I don’t miss a single second of the video!
Wow, the rainbow waterfall is just... wow.
The power of the image is intimidating. Pictures of the waterfall resemble gas nebulae in pictures of deep space. Congratulations on a big round of applause.
The shadowy "watcher" at 11:56 gives the image an eerie feeling. Nice shot, Michael.
Bad conditions don’t exist in landscape photography , there’s always a shot and you sir have proven this once again !!
The storm shots were superb and the waterfall rainbow sublime !! Love this one buddy
The waterfall images with with those rainbow colors almost look like pictures of galaxies. Beautiful!
Definitely prefer the stormy shots. Some wonderful abstract images of that waterfall.
Wow, those photos are all fantastic. I've never seen water swirls colored by a rainbow just beautiful.
wooow does rainbow shots are amazing!!!

The flame rainbow with birds flying in front of it was something else. The wide shots were good but the close up shots were on another level.
You are my photo hero. Your mythical monster is just mind blowing. It’s not a competition but you are surpassing all your you tube cohorts in style and substance
Thank you for the video. You made me visit Iceland through your camera and this is what I do and believe as landscape photographer, make people visit different places through my camera.
Well for the waterfall photo it feels like there is a shadow of a baby on the left.
Thank you gain
I absolutely love the tight images of the waterfalls.
6:15 The colors and movement of water is BEAUTIFUL! Gosh I wish I was there in person to witness it
Michael,

photo's at 6:07 and 12:00 fantastic !!!
its what you said like a fairytail. Like a still from Lord of the rings.
congrats !!!
The stormy images remind me of the formation of the earth. so powerful and full of emotion, amazing for such a minimalistic photo that you can create such an emotional response.
Love the abstract water images the one at about 12,07 i can see a shadow of a head and shoulder great work.
Best photographer on this planet! Your videos are always a highlight and inspiration for me.
This is a masterpiece of cinematography and filmaking! Well done!
The dark, moody picture gave me a sense of creation. The formed water spay on the right seemed to be created by the chaotic fog and mist on the left side. It is a beautiful image.

Gorgeous. I see the turbulence of creation. Love the textured waterfalls, which make me gasp. It scares our cat but he’ll be fine.
I found the close up images quite eery, but fascinating at the same time. Looking at the image at 11:58 I thought I saw an eye with a tear drop in the top left quadrant. You proved that no matter the conditions, creativity trumps all. Nice work.
Are you kidding!!!!!!!! Are you sure that is real. Just as well a master like you was there to capture it. Finally an appropriate use for the word -Awesome. Bravo 👏
The shot at 11:50 and the following.. duuuude!!! those are absolutely incredible!!
that shot at 7:10 is the one man! WOW!!
do you have this image for sale?

A simple way to describe the waterfall shots was falling gold!! These images are just one of the best waterfall shots I have seen, touched my heart!

With blue beard. Good stuff, homegrown?

I love the first waterfall with the rainbow and bird!
Michael, I have watched thousands of RUclips videos, scrolled thru tens of thousands of images on social media but never felt as compelled to comment as I have with this video.
A simply magnificent achievement in putting this together , the final images are breathtaking. The waterfall rainbow images are absolutely magnificent. Thank you for posting , congratulations.

I was mesmerized by this. Stunning video and pics! I'll take stormy conditions anytime!

My word some of the nicest photos ever the rainbow water wow
Thanks so much Paul!
majestically beautiful, wow, just wow
I loved the close up b n w photos, moody, different, special....
Absolutely stunning images of detail in these waterfalls! Thank you.
Amazing. You should be happy with all of them. I love them all. Thank you!!!
Just stunning, what a fantastic subject to shoot 👏👏
Wonderful video! My wife saw a silhouette of a child in the upper left and I saw a half-closed eye of a creature in the mid-left. Lots of fun to stop the video and take a close look at the images.
Just gorgeous. Now I just can't wait to go back - yet again - next year !
Absolutely stellar shots Michael !!!! so much so, all I can see is not water but Hubble Telescope type images of galaxies and space dust - absolutely breathtaking images.

Some amazing images, particularly the close ups of the waterfalls. Great work.
Solid video Michael, loved all the images and you're 100% right, I did prefer the dramatic zoomed in shots of the waterfalls.
Wow, those shots of the waterfall and rainbow look like something from the James Webb telescope!
Michael I love how you use your 100-400 lens to capture some very compelling and unique landscapes. I recently added this focal length to my bag and I am working to see things differently as you do so well with your intimate shots. Your have really captured some epic images in Iceland.
The cine look in the video was amazing!
I have never seen such a beauty before… thanks for sharing!
very beautiful Micheal! I really do like the waterfall pictures. The dark reminds me of pictures of angels or something.
Stunning images, love the close up waterfall pictures. I can see seahorses in your waterfall image. Thank you for sharing.
Wow, the wide shots were nice but the close ups were amazing! I loved the rainbows and birds but the moody was probably my favorite.
Absolutely stunning
Great location and photographs!
MaShaAllah Micheal Bhai kya shot liye ho Allah apko or dy
dhanyavaad :)
Love the shot at 9:13, the misty atmosphere, the bird and the waterfall is just the perfect combination, absolutely stunning! The photo at 12:17 I see the profile of a little boy's face at the upper left corner.

Tu vídeo es tan majestuoso, hermoso, me transmite tanta paz. Eres bueno en lo que haces gracias por compartir tus increíbles fotografías. ❤️😊✨👏👏
Beautiful, I was just there a few weeks ago and agree that it’s crazy how much weather & lighting change the same spots!
I admire beautiful scenery of Iceland.👏👏👏
Look at the scenery of Japan by all means🇯🇵
Stunning as always Michael
Outstanding photos!
Absolutely stunning work mate. The images look absolutely stunning on Vero. 👌
Simply fantastic man. Stellar images and superb photography.
absolutely stunning photos. The bird with rainbow photos are my favorites of your photos this year so far.
My favorite shot was the same as yours. The close-up of the falls at 12:00. I didn't see a monster in it though, but I've got old eyes.
Thanks Wayne, I always love hearing other interpretations of the shots as well. I often see things that others don't in the images and vice versa :)
Wow, nature is sooo beautiful 😍
Superb as usual! Loved the waterfall with the bird!
The image at @ 12:25 conjured up the idea of a waking Titan: Right hand over his head as the water pours onto the gap between left shoulder and head. Good stuff, more please.
What a freaking stellar video Mike! Those falls 💯💯👏🏻👏🏻
All I can say is wow!
Incredible images! That brings so much emotions... Thank you very much for doing this 😊
And I see a child staring at the waterfall, with his knees against his chest, meditating (like the Rodin's sculpture "Le Penseur"/"The thinker", I guess)
Wonderful photography it's simply amazing.ur showing ur heart fealt in these pictures.thanks for those photos and these video and important tips .
those rainbow shots look like nebulas. bravo man!
Micheal your photography is stunning. The way you put your videos together makes it so enjoyable to watch, you are certainly one of the top landscape photographers on youtube.
I see faces in those images like you do, stunning work💖
Blown away Micheal! I think is is the best video and some of the best shots I have seen
beautiful!
Great video and amazing images! Iceland is really a photographer's playground. I agree that the zoomed in images of the falling water patterns are much more compelling. The patterns and detail are eye candy. The added colors of the rainbow are great but, even the monochromatic shots work well.

Those are some amazing detail shots of the waterfall, never would have had the idea to shoot waterfall closeups, thanks for sharing :)

Such incredible photos, Michael! Loved the rainbow waterfalls and the stormy ones from Haifoss 😁
Thanks Mads, I really appreciate it!
Beautiful work Michael!!!
What an incredible artist you are. Some of your shots are even better than what i used to see on Nat Geo. Superb and inspiring work.
Thank you so much 😀

Thank you so much Ian! :)
I see the Pillars of Creation in that photo!
