Located steps from its mostly dormant geological namesake (Geysir), the Strokkur geyser is the most well-known and reliable one on Iceland, if not the world. Its blasts are predictable enough that I could get the focus, exposure and filtering (3-stop graduated neutral density against bright sky) just right to freeze-frame it at that split second the bubble starts to burst through a dome of strikingly beautiful blue water about five feet in height. Oh, and notice the background: yes, there are trees in Iceland.
