There are so many iconic places in Iceland, but what is more unique about Iceland is that it has so many unknown places that are equally beautiful and amazing. Also, the weather here, that changes at anytime and everytime - making the same place look completely different by altering the mood.
I was driving on the Road 1 and (I think) just before Djupivogur I saw this mountain with relatively calm water-body in front. I was so amazed looking at this beauty, the wind was very strong, it was drizzling and dark clouds were approaching and I wanted to capture this mood. Somehow, I managed to take the off-road and drove my car down to this place.
I setup the tripod and took a few shots, but I knew that only a long-exposure will do justice to this shot and the mood I wanted to capture. So I used 6-Stops ND filter, giving me about 30 seconds exposure in that situation.
This place was unknown and I couldn't find it's name on the maps, hence I call it "The Unknown"
