Gullfoss, South Iceland

10/9/2018

Gullfoss (or Golden Falls) originates from The wide Hvítá river flows southward, and about 1 km above the falls it turns sharply to the right and flows down into a wide curved three-step "staircase" and then abruptly plunges in two stages (11 metres or 36 feet, and 21 metres or 69 feet) into a crevice 32 metres (105 ft) deep. The crevice, about 20m wide and 2.5 km in length, extends perpendicular to the flow of the river. The average amount of water running down the waterfall is 140 cubic metres (4,900 cu ft) per second in the summer and 80 cubic metres (2,800 cu ft) per second in the winter.  We arrived at Gullfoss on 10.09.2018 as our first stop.

I used two setups here. For still images, I used my SONY 
α7RIII and SONY FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM lens, mounted on my Gitzo Mountaineer GT-1542 and FLM 32FP ballhead. I used NiSi CPL, NiSi GND .9 Soft and Nisi ND8 filters to capture these shots.  My other setup was mainly for timelapse, where I used SONY α​7SII and Laowa 12mm f/2.8 Zero-D with NiSi CPL, mounted on the Leofoto LS-284C and Leofoto LH-30 ballhead.  I had also flown my dji Mavic Pro Platinum here for about 20 minutes.
Some tips on Gullfoss:
  • Great to visit any time of day. There is no optimal time and the way the falls are situated means that you can easily photograph them without people being in your way! There is no need to get here very early in the morning.
  • Stay On The Approved Trails And Walkways. When visiting Gullfoss, it is highly recommended that you follow caution signs and staying on the approved trails. It can be tempting to go off trail to get the perfect photo, but that photo isn’t worth your life!  Gullfoss Waterfall is very powerful and the ground may be unstable or uneven. This is especially true during the winter because snow may look safe but may end up being deceiving.
  • Wear appropriately. Be sure to wear the proper clothing! During the summer, the surrounding areas can be slippery and wet and during the winter, they will be icy or slushy. 
  • Leave No Trace and trash behind. This may sound obvious people still leave their trash behind.
A short drive away from Gullfoss, there is Bru's Horse Farm. Here, one gets to touch and pat the horses, while taking selfies with the fabulous creature.
