Vestrahorn - a photo on Flickriver

Vestrahorn

For me quite simply one of, if not the most stunning places I have visited so far, Vestrahorn.

A huge difference to the last time I was here where you couldn't see the tops of the mountains and it was too rough to get up by the coastal section, today was the total reverse with the dunes being unshootable due to extreme winds howling around and blowing the black sand round everywhere, so the coast was actually a far more sheltered option.

One of my favourites from the mornings shoot at sunrise, not long after I'd fallen and ended up on my backside on the rocks... unhurt but covered in mud and sand..

This shot was a case of getting to a shutter speed that I liked and just waiting for the right time, and the right wave to give me what I was try to achieve.
