So this is really my first post about photography or travel. As it happens I get to travel a decent amount for my work, and I've always enjoyed looking for mental "shots" of places I've been and then recording them in some fashion, so I thought I'd start sharing here in our steemit community.
These pics were from a roadtrip I took in Iceland. I was traveling from the North down to Reykjavik. They're fairly minimalist, only using an Samsung S5 and playing with some of the filter settings, barely.
As I was driving it was a constant awesome assault on my senses. I couldn't help but stop multiple times to soak up the beauty of the place and take pictures and video....sometimes trying to get myself killed by doing it while moving because I was just felt compelled to do so. LOL
These first two were on the road just outside of Mývatn, where I was living for several months, on the way to Akureyri Iceland.
I was on the way there to visit a blacksmith and see all the wonderful knives and jewelry he makes. THAT would be a photo essay in itself as I couldn't stop taking pictures of his work....and buying a bunch of it. LOL
Then I was on my way to Reykjavik. This pic wasn't too long after leaving Akureyri, but I couldn't say exactly where as I took photos over the next 6 hours.
I hope my fellow steemians enjoy the photos or locations. I'm still getting the hang of all this, but hope to post more "pics of places" in the future.
