This photograph was taken at Skógafoss waterfall (Iceland) in September 2024. Being at one of the most photographed waterfalls in the world, I tried to add a different perspective. I soon noticed the presence of three seagulls aligned on the rocky wall of the waterfall and focused on them. The light was very flat, but I knew that black and white processing would be very effective in this case, playing with the contrast between the dark rock and the white of the water and the seagulls. The 105 mm maximum focal length of the lens I had mounted was perfect for my intention, as the idea was to create a minimalist composition with the three birds, using them as a scale to appreciate the dimensions of the waterfall. My camera has a 3×2 sensor, but I preferred a square crop, following the 6×6 film camera format to give more presence to the seagulls. The composition, which divides the frame into two halves, doesn’t follow the usual rules, but in my opinion, it works well in this case due to the balance provided by the three seagulls aligned at a third of the top edge. I used a relatively high shutter speed to add dynamism and drama to the scene, which was later enhanced during editing, mainly by increasing the contrast, without losing the details and texture of the rocky wall.
