Silk by Simeon PatarozlievA few weeks before I left Iceland I’ve spent a night near Godafoss. It’s an amazing waterfall but I never had the intention to camp there or to take a photograph of it. Still I somehow ended up at this place quite late during the day and decided to stay. While I was at it I’ve also decided to at least take a shot or two for my family. It was in mid-October so at that point there weren’t many people around which was great. Found this small mossy stone and set up my tripod into the water. As I was making some tests a guy popped out of nowhere. He came next to me, said “Hello” and asked if he could put his tripod next to mine. “Sure” I said, but “Why the fuck?” I thought…So he puts his camera right next to mine, the legs of his tripod crossing mine, adjusting the angle while looking at my display. I don’t say a word, after all that’s his choice. At some point he starts talking to me: “The sunset is boring. (I don’t answer) Now is not a good time to photograph this place. In winter there is so much more water here, it’s more beautiful.” I think to myself: “Then what are you doing here now, man…” Then he draws a smartphone out of his pocket and opens up a whole gallery of photos taken from the exact same spot, with almost the exact same composition, obviously from different times of the year and from different authors. “See, these are way better.”I silently packed my stuff and left the place. I still can’t understand this.This photo is part of my ICELAND project.Take a tour in the INTERACTIVE MAP of my journey. -- source link
