Oddur Jonsson's photos with the Oddur Jónsson

Another picture from the same place, taken with ND-filter. It was quite windy and tiny waves on the sea, but the filter evened it out :o)

There is the rule of thirds and other rules that say that the subject should never be centered. But rules are made for breaking...

Now, when the days are getting shorter and it will be dark all the time, I bought a very dark filter for long exposures. This is the first test, but I'm hoping for some bright days before the winter so I can use it more :o)

The mountain tops are now white from snow and the leaves are getting red, yellow and brown before falling to the ground. My father fell too when hurrying across a slippery road, but he is already feeling better :o)

This rock in Hestfjörður was moved from the shoreline when the road was being built because some people believed elves lived there :o)

I was working in Borgarnes a while ago and this was the scenery from the place where I stayed at nights :o)

My old computer finally crashed completely about two weeks ago so I haven't uploaded or taken any pictures for some time.
I took this picture last week when I had to go out and do some surveys in a tunnel close by. It is taken around noon and still no…

This picture is taken in Óshlíðargöng, a new tunnel that is being build between Hnífsdalur and Bolungarvík, small towns close to Ísafjörður. I sometimes have to go and do some surveys, then I send the results to some specialists that check if the tunnels…

I went out this morning in a beautiful weather and took some pictures while it was getting brighter :o)
I think it looks very nice in the large version.

I went out last night because the weather was so beautiful. The moon was so bright that it lit up all the mountains and I had to try to take some pictures :o)

I climbed to the top of this mountain on Sunday, with my camera and my skis to enjoy the sun and the beautiful weather. It was hard to go all the way to the top, but it was worth it to enjoy the scenery and get to ski back down. I put two pictures in no…

Last night I could see a tiny glimpse of the Northern Lights through my kitchen window. I went out and managed to get this picture before they totally disappeared :o)

When I was taking this picture, a car drove by. Few seconds later another car followed, it was the police and they turned on the lights on top to stop the other car. That explains the blue lights on the right and the red dot where the cars stopped :o)
U…

Another photo I took few nights ago when I was trying to capture the northern lights. I like this place, it is only a few minutes drive from my home and the scenery is really great on nights like this :o)

Another picture from the same place. This shed is used for drying fish, "harðfiskur" in Icelandic, very delicious and I love it with some salt and butter :o)
