Hey all,

One of my favorite images in recent memory is this one of Kirkjufellsfoss in Iceland on the Snaefellsnes peninsula near the town of Grundarfjadour. We arrived at the waterfall the day before but the weather was awful and the trail to the waterfall was under about 4 ft. of water. We came back the next day to partly cloudy skies and the trail was bone dry, apparently the tide was in while we were there the day before. This is one of the more recognizable locations in Iceland and it was a dream to photograph but all dreams must come to an end. I wrote about it on my blog, I highly suggest reading part 1 then reading part 2 which is linked in the blog. Without a doubt, one of the wildest things to ever happen to me and makes this photo beyond special for me.

Camera settings were: Canon 5D Mk. III, 16-35mm f/4 lens, 10x ND filter.

Looking at your "Part 1" picture of the camera and tripod, it appears the left leg of the tripod was over extended. The center of gravity of the camera is only an inch or two inside of the front two legs making the setup very unstable. It would only take a small gust or anything to push it over. Very sorry for your loss, and I'm sure the event was heavy on your mind for the rest of your trip.

Thanks fort comment, you're correct it was overextended in that picture. I believe the tripod was already on its way to falling into the water when that picture was captured. It was set up in a manner that made it definitely unstable, I had my hand on the tripod whenever it wasn't taking a picture. Did you read part 2? Yes, it did weigh heavy on my mind for the rest of the trip but thankfully the rest of the trip was about 12 hours.
