On this trip to a waterfall in Iceland, I wanted to record a cinematic video of this amazing waterfall and place. In this location with the waterfall I first set up my camera and tripod to take long exposures, then I walked down the canyon closer to the waterfall and saw this sick opening in the landscape and thought it would be cool going through that space with my DJI Mavic 2 Pro while taking a video.
