Adventures in Ísafjörður - West Fjords, Iceland

After a weekend of star photography workshops, and little sleep it felt great to get a full 6 hours of shut eye. After clicking "publish" on this post it's time to pack for Iceland, where the 4 hour sunsets and sunrises keep me busy for days. As for my other workshops this summer, there is 1 spot left in each of my July Star sessions. Head on over to my Summer Star Photography Workshops page for full details. 

The Shot

It's been around 350 days or so since I took this shot & since I am headed back to Ísafjörður tomorrow, why not post a shot? I really liked adventuring through this town in the early morning around 3 AM when no one was awake, it was a complete ghost town.

I have been working all morning to integrate an “On the Road” photo-stream into my website. Photos that I take with my iPhone when out shooting or on the road will now stream directly to the side bar of my website. I think this kind of stuff is really fun, I hope you enjoy it as well. Click any of the pictures to see them full size in the gallery. You can always come back to this gallery by selecting "On the Road -  iPhoneography" under "Let's Explore" in the right-hand sidebar.

There are some other fun functions that have been recently added to Dave Morrow Photography as well, including a Travel & Adventure Map which allows the you to view where all my photos have been taken on a user friendly map interface.  This has also been located on the bottom of the “Let’s Explore” section on the right-hand sidebar.

Deep in the North West Fjords of Iceland lies the Small town of Ísafjörður. This is about the closest to the middle of no where and the Arctic Circle that I have ever been. None the less it is an awesome town with beautiful Fjords rising up on all sides of it, if you ever travel to Iceland make sure to take this drive.

Got lucky with some amazing weather in the Palouse this weekend and was able to get some new Milky Way shots, which means some new star pics should surface pretty soon. Next topic! Not sure how many of you out there use SmugMug, I've been using them for almost 2years and find the service to be an unbeatable place to showcase your photos online. Their site also flawlessly integrates into any blog or website which is a huge help. Anyways here is my SmugMug Portfolio which holds my entire online portfolio. You can also click on any of the photos on my website to get the full size view. Feel free to download any of these shots for your desktop background:)

The Shot

On our way to Ísafjörður, an amazing small town deep in the West Fjords of Iceland, an opportunity arose to climb into a pasture and shoot sunset with some horses. This sounded like an awesome photo opp so I grabbed my gear and started shooting.
