Undanfarna daga hefur veðrið hér á Suðvestur horninu verið hund leiðinlegt, rok og rigning út í eitt.
Í svona veðri er oft mikla fegurð að finna þótt ótrúlegt sé. 
Í storminum í gær (2020-09-19) skellti ég mér út á Reykjanestá til að mynda klettinn “Karl” í Kirkjuvogsbás, því ég átti von á miklum öldum í þessu veðri. Rétta aldan lét eitthvað á sér standa því ég stóð þarna nötrandi úti í þessum veðurham í rúma tvo tíma með myndavélina og þrífótinn, þurrkandi af filterunum, kaldur og hund blautur, en stóð alltaf í þeirri trú að næsta alda sem kæmi, væri sú rétta.
Eftir að hafa smellt af um 250 myndum þá kom hún.
Það var stórkostleg sjón og mikil upplifun að sjá máttarvöldin hvítþvo þennan fallega 51m háan klett.
Birtan var svolítið sérstök því ég þurfti að nota Kase Polarizer filter ásamt Soft-GND 0,6 sem snéri niður og Soft-GND 0,9 sem snéri upp til þess að losna við glampann og jafna út birtuna.
Þetta er gaman.

In recent days, the weather here in the Southwest corner has been boring, windy and rainy.
In such a stormy weather, there is often great beauty to be found, even though it is unbelievable.
In the storm yesterday (2020-09-19) I headed out to Reykjanestá to photograph the rock “Karl” in Kirkjuvogsbás, because I was expecting a lot of nice waves. The right wave didn’t come as I hoped for, because I stood there shivering in this stormy weather for over two hours with the camera and tripod, wiping the rain off the filters, cold and dog wet, but always believed that the next wave would be the right one.
After about 250 clicks, it came.
It was a magnificent sight and a great experience to see force of nature white wash this beautiful 51m high rock.
The brightness was a bit special because I had to use a Kase Polarizer filter along with a Soft-GND 0.6 that turned down and a Soft-GND 0.9 that turned up to get rid of the glare and even out the light.
This is fun.
