Kirkjufell mountains Iceland

# Trending # Lemon 8 Howtoo # Northern light # Iceland

• Mountain height ~ 463 m. Located isolated by the fjord. Near a small town called Grundarfjördur.

• Top spots: Bridges and walkways around Kirkjufellsfoss, a few minutes' walk from the landing strip. 👣

• Uniqueness: stratigraphic strata strand internodes + symmetrical shapes. Taken with waterfalls and then balances are very beautiful.

The moment should go. 🗓️

• 🟢 Summer (Jun-Aug): Long golden light sunshine fits long exposure waterfall (most people)

• 💜 Winter (Sept-Apr.): Win the Northern Lights Over the Mountain Top - If Open Clouds Are Considered in Many Superheroes

• ⏰ Golden Hour Dusk to the West - Oblique Light with clear mountain pattern. Keep very bright dimensions.

No-miss photo corner. 📸

1.Standard angle: Stand the waterfall side. Let the watercourse be the foreground. Bring sight to the top of the mountain - 14-24mm lens. Get a wide view, eat the whole scene.

2. Waterfront / Bend Stream: Push the mountain to the rule of prominence on the right, bend the water into the frame (like your image)

3.Long Exposure: Use ND 6-10 stop, set the speed 0.5-2 seconds, let the waterfall be soft, tender 🧊

4.Northern Light Night: f / 1.8-2.8, 5-10s, ISO 1600-3200 + Tight Stand (Strong Wind!) 🌌

Trick: Lots of cloud blue. Use Polarizer to reduce water reflection and pull moss green to bounce up.

Access & Travel Time 🚗

• Drive the main line of the peninsula to a small landing next to the waterfall. 5-10 minutes on foot.

• For a chill time of 45-90 minutes, if you wait for a beautiful light for 2-3 hours.

• Winter always checks wind / ice road conditions first (Iceland is much stronger than thought) 🌬️

Security. ⚠️

• Wet Passage Easy Slip - Deep Blossom Shoes Best Waterproof

• "Climbing the top of Kirkjufell" is a steep, dangerous, accident every year - only with a skilled guide, not recommended. ⛑️

• Respect rope fence / walkway. Do not step on moss (very difficult to recover). 🌿

Recommended equipment 🎒

• Strong tripod, remote / set shooting time, ND & CPL filters

• Rain proof both person and camera (saltwater spray / sun alternating rain is common)

• Microfiber Cloth Wipe Lens Throughout - Waterfall Aerosol Very Sensitive

Etiquette / Knowledge 🤝

• The parking lot is limited. During the peak, alternate the popular corner queue.

• Drones: Respect local rules / privacy and always dodge people / wildlife.

• Some ranges may have parking charges or digital settlement systems - see 🅿️

A brief plan suggests 🗺️

• Stop by Kirkjufellsfoss → Drive per Berserkjahraun Lava → Stykkishólmur Town Taken Boat with Little Island Evening → Return to Peninsula Accommodation (All Day Fit)

... Read moreหลายคนเห็นชื่อ “Kirkjufell” แล้วจะนึกถึงข่าว/คนดังที่เคยมาเช็กอิน (อย่าง Mark Zuckerberg หรือ Jackie Chan) แต่จากที่เราไปเอง บอกเลยว่าไฮไลต์จริง ๆ คือ “วิวมันถ่ายง่ายและออกมาปัง” ไม่ว่าคุณจะมาตามรอยใครหรือมาเพราะชอบธรรมชาติ ที่นี่คือจุดที่ทำให้เข้าใจทันทีว่าทำไมภูเขาลูกนี้ถึงดังระดับโลก สิ่งที่เราแนะนำให้โฟกัสคือคู่กันระหว่าง “ภูเขา Kirkjufell” กับ “น้ำตก Kirkjufellsfoss” เพราะคอมโพสจะบาลานซ์มาก: น้ำตกเป็น foreground แล้วเส้นชั้นหินของภูเขาเป็นตัวนำสายตา ยิ่งวันที่ท้องฟ้ามืดครึ้มหรือมีเมฆบาง ๆ ภูเขาจะดูมีมิติขึ้น (รูปออกโทนดราม่าแบบไอซ์แลนด์สุด ๆ) แต่ถ้าวันฟ้าเปิดก็จะได้สีเขียวของมอสกับลำธารเด่นมาก ถ้าคุณตั้งใจไป “ล่าแสงเหนือที่ Kirkjufell” ให้เผื่อเวลากับสภาพอากาศไว้เยอะกว่าปกติ เราเช็ก 3 อย่างก่อนออกจากที่พักทุกครั้ง: (1) พยากรณ์เมฆ (2) ค่า KP (3) ความแรงลม เพราะแถวนี้ลมแรงจริง ขาตั้งต้องแน่น ๆ และอย่าลืมถ่วงน้ำหนัก/แขวนกระเป๋าไว้ที่ขาตั้งจะนิ่งขึ้นมาก จุดที่ถ่ายแล้วสวยคือให้จัดเฟรมให้แสงเหนืออยู่เหนือยอดเขา และมีสายน้ำ/น้ำตกเป็นฉากหน้า ภาพจะเล่าเรื่องครบทั้งภูเขา น้ำ และท้องฟ้า สำหรับคนที่ชอบถ่าย Long exposure น้ำตก เราใช้สปีดประมาณ 0.5–2 วินาที (แล้วแต่แรงน้ำกับลม) ถ้ามี ND จะช่วยให้เล่นสปีดได้ง่ายขึ้น ส่วนกลางคืนถ่ายแสงเหนือ แนะนำเริ่มที่ f/1.8–2.8, 5–10 วินาที, ISO 1600–3200 แล้วค่อยไล่ปรับตามความสว่างจริง ระวังอย่าลากชัตเตอร์นานเกินไปจนแสงเหนือเป็นเส้นเละ และอย่าลืมเช็ดหน้าเลนส์บ่อย ๆ เพราะละอองน้ำจาก Kirkjufellsfoss เกาะไวมาก เรื่องความสะดวก: จากลานจอดเดินถึงจุดถ่ายหลักไม่นาน แต่พื้นทางเดินเปียกและลื่นง่าย โดยเฉพาะช่วงหนาว/มีน้ำแข็ง แนะนำรองเท้ากันน้ำดอกลึก และเดินตามทางที่จัดไว้ ห้ามเหยียบมอสเพราะฟื้นตัวยากมาก สุดท้าย ถ้าใครคิดจะ “ไต่ยอด Kirkjufell” เราขอย้ำว่าไม่ควรไปเอง เส้นทางชันและมีอุบัติเหตุเกิดขึ้นทุกปี ถ้าอยากได้มุมสูงจริง ๆ ให้เลือกทัวร์/ไกด์ที่ชำนาญจะปลอดภัยกว่าเยอะ สรุปคือ ต่อให้ไม่ได้ตามรอยคนดังอย่าง Mark Zuckerberg หรือ Jackie Chan แค่ได้มายืนที่จุดน้ำตกแล้วเห็น Kirkjufell ตรงหน้า ก็รู้เลยว่าที่นี่คือหนึ่งในโลเคชันถ่ายภาพที่คุ้มที่สุดของไอซ์แลนด์

400ft Inside a Volcano in Iceland 🌋😱
This is the only place in the world where you can actually go inside a real volcano 🌋🇮🇸 Only in Iceland. The tour is $500 pp, you get 30 minutes to explore the inside of the magma chamber, and it takes about 7 minutes to descend to the bottom. It’s one of the craziest experiences I’ve ever done.
