The sun was setting behind Seljalandsfoss in southern Iceland as I stood in the cave behind the falls, hoping to capture the moment. It was no easy shot—each time I took off the lens cap, mist from the waterfall quickly covered the lens. To get the entire span of the cave, I had to stitch a 7-image panorama, and the breathtaking light held for only a few precious minutes. In the end I think it turned out okay :).
