The Gulfoss waterfall and a possible role for humans in my images

by ·

this post contains a set of images that I took at the Gulfoss waterfall. The first image shows you the complete waterfall. See the people on the bottom left of the image. I am told that they provide a sense of scale. I have never thought of images and people this way before. It is something that I need to explore further. Usually, I avoid people when taking images but I am beginning to change my mind.

The filenames of the images are self-explanatory. If using the vOICe to view them, try edge detection toggled with function key F7 to give you a crude representation of what the waterfall sounds like.

The Blue Lagoon in the rain

by ·

this is an image taken at the blue Lagoon spa in Iceland. See the black rocks in the rain. The colour of the water has been described as milky blue. If using the vOICe, use 4-fold zoom to get a better idea of the rocks.

You can also try using negative video to eliminate the sky from the image.
