Mountain Photography & Snow Camping

[@brandonsilver]

"Areas of interestingness" is my new favorite term.

[@StephenBridgett]

If life were a do over I'd hold your values and sense of adventure. Thanks for the inspiration Dave from a senior citizen.

[@DaveMorrow]

You're welcome buddy!

[@sandrad7343]

Stephen, my sentiments exactly and endorse your words. Thanks Dave

[@lastdaystravellastdaystrav2233]

i started super late too so i take advantage of every oportunity i create!

[@wilfswanderings]

Wow, what a location !!!! There's nothing better than being alone in the hills with a tent and camera. That tranquility comes through in this video..

[@DaveMorrow]

Best place to be:) Agreed!

[@Hike-it]

Such good times!

[@DaveMorrow]

For sure!

[@jamesss1953]

I’m with Stephen Bridgett’s comment; but we all have a path in life. The important thing I think is when you can (even later in Life) change it . Stunning experience here - thank you for sharing.

[@johnwelday199]

It's great to have you back on KZbin!

[@50Acres]

Glad you're making videos again

[@DaveMorrow]

Glad you like them!

[@williambassin4046]

I especially enjoyed the night sky part of the video towards the end. It must be awe inspiring to see the stars without the light polution or the heavy sea level air....

[@nathan88274]

The best feeling ever is when you get an awesome shot that you just can't wait to get back and edit it. When you said "that's a keeper" I felt that :)

[@DaveMorrow]

Agreed!

[@Dovinesence]

I was just thinking the other day, when is Dave coming back... Great to see your fantastic work again in these amazing locations! Welcome back Dave. Looks like I've got another video to watch too... 👌

[@DaveMorrow]

Many thanks!

[@randyschwager2515]

I just discovered you! WOW! I’m glad I did! I’m on old guy who can no longer physically do the things you do, but you are inspiring me to do as much as I can while also expanding my photographic skills!

[@juanarroyo5324]

beautiful views ..images n location !!!!!!!!!! GOD BLESS !!!!!!

[@BEHINDTHECANVAS]

I have been following your work for years now, watching your videos because you are different from many landscape photographers. You are one of the reason why I also do started my own channel and everytime i go hiking i always remember your story behind the images you share.

[@DaveMorrow]

Wow, thank you!

[@tegser]

Just let me pick my jaw up off the floor..breathtaking final image..I’m imagining a massive print of that on my wall 😮

[@Slewis71119]

Glad to see you are still around, haven't heard from you in a long time.

[@ijoshpics0171]

It's great to see you behind that Nikon!! Thanks for sharing!

[@JoyEze1]

Amazing - Thanks from Denmark

[@janetbonner2100]

Always an inspiration to see your travels, you're also a great hiker. As a mother, my first thoughts are worrying about you out there but obviously you know what you're doing. Glad to see you back doing what you enjoy, been a while. Great teacher, thanks. Ohhhh to be young again, thanks for sharing the magical journey.

[@DaveMorrow]

Safer out there than in a city:) You're welcome! Thanks for watching.

[@AmyProctor]

I love your adventures and your spirit!

[@DaveMorrow]

Thanks:)

[@nicolasmurith4107]

Nice to have you back with new outstanding infos, tips and tricks! As always, thx for sharing your experiences!

[@RealmsOfThePossible]

I really miss mountain hiking and taking photos, thank you Dave for giving me a fix of my passion. Hopefully later this year things will relax and we all start getting back to normal.

[@DaveMorrow]

You're welcome!

[@texastumbleweed4165]

Love your videos. Stay safe out there in the wilderness.

[@DaveMorrow]

Thank you! Will do!

[@douglasritchie2836]

That was just Magical Dave, we are totally locked down again here in Scotland I haven't been up in the Highlands since march! so this was a lovely bit of escapism.

[@DaveMorrow]

Glad you liked it. Hope you get out soon:)

[@gizemkarakulah7443]

Splendid sceneries, spots and photographs. Even breathing nature is can be enough sometimes. Thanks for all your effort Dave!

[@AndyP1961.]

Awesome Dave, some stunning scenery, like others we're in full lockdown here in the UK and I'm isolating as my wife is having surgery on Monday, working from home and itching to be able to get out. Through your video you got me out and for that I thank you sir. All the very best and looking forward to seeing more of your adventures. All the best, Andy

[@lad78518]

Excellent video Dave, thank you for sharing.

[@DaveMorrow]

Thanks for watching

[@lucky2watch]

Thanks for this exciting video. I enjoy the mixture of hiking and taking photos, with this great information. Great work.

[@DaveMorrow]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@nicklabelle9566]

Really enjoyed this video. I especially liked how you talked about the art of composition, which I wish you covered more of in your other videos.

[@DaveMorrow]

Hey Nick, Thanks! I send out a lot of stuff to my email list that I don't post on KZbin. You can check it out here: www.davemorrowphotography.com/free-pdfs

[@blivieriphoto]

So glad you're back with the awesome videos. Love your locations and the way you explain everything. Looking forward to more!

Such an inspiration. Regards Barrie

[@DaveMorrow]

Thanks Barrie. I really appreciate it:)

[@odileguiller1925]

Thank you, Dave for sharing your adventures, photography and tips. I love trekking in mountains (favourite scenery) but would not be able to do what you do on longer trips with the heavy backpack being no longer as young as you are. So my next adventure with my partner will be in an off road expedition vehicle crisscrossing Australia, then hopefully north America!

[@arielalejandrogarma3672]

Really really fantastic I like so very much congratulations

[@wendynewing8834]

Thanks for a wonderful video and images! What a fabulous landscape! I just love watching your adventures and photography guidance.

[@hollymasepohl8276]

Beautiful location. Thanks for explaining your thoughts on finding and creating a good composition. I have learned a ton from your videos. Thanks for helping me become a better photographer. Keep up the great work and thanks for taking the time to share and create these videos. A nice escape from the pandemic

[@DaveMorrow]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@thesiklosexperience7385]

Amazing shots sir!

[@valentin.ionascu]

Photography is one of my hobbies, I only have 2 influencers in my photography life and one of them is you, Sir. First time when I found your channel and I saw the first video I subscribed right away from the intro. I love the life you live and I would like to live this way, to travel everywhere and do expeditions and other stuff but what nobody talks about is family life, a wife and kids. I am married, and we have a daughter if I have to give up my job to do all this stuff is not gonna work. What are your thoughts about family life are you gonna do this all your life? Are gonna get your job back?

[@DaveMorrow]

That's great. Thanks! Really glad to hear that. No kids. Can't ever go back to a normal job now. I'm ruined;)

[@paulburgess5111]

Yay! New video!

[@scotthumphrey4624]

I'm so glad to see you back Dave. Been to a few places myself while you were away. Keep on Truckin' off the beaten path. You know one of the things I miss most when I'm out there? The silence. Damn do I miss that... Love the Moonscape shots.

[@DaveMorrow]

Silence is my favorite thing too! How have you been Scott?

[@scotthumphrey4624]

@@DaveMorrow Terrific Dave. Thanks for asking. A few mishaps along the way, but hey that's life. Keep moving, keep exploring. Looking forward to more of your postings.

[@chiuyuenkwan833]

Professor Morrow, I love your landscape photography techniques. As wildlife photography, especially birding, is very popular, would you consider going into that field? Thanks a lot.

[@michiuno2238]

Thanks Dave for letting us participate in your adventures. What I'm always wondering: How do you manage to have enough battery life for camera and GoPro? You mentioned you pack food for 2 weeks. Do you take batteries for 2 weeks or do you charge somehow with solar panels?

[@mazharmubeen]

Really happy to see you back. Stay blessed brother. Lots of love from Pakistan.

[@DaveMorrow]

Thanks brother! Want to hike in your mountains. They are beautiful!

Thanks Amigo!

[@rayfocalphotography]

Dearest Dave , It’s quite a relief and great to see your face and hear your voice again. Welcome back. I was concerned for your well-being and I hope you and family are well. Your work and videos have been and continue to be a source of inspiration. This year has forced me to explore new areas with my camera I would not have got to, for which I am grateful, but life has been challenging this year. I wish you health and happiness for 2021. Congrats from Yokohama , Japan , my friend ! God bless you all there !

[@DaveMorrow]

Right back at ya. Ray! Have a great weekend buddy:)

[@Sameersupertramp4life]

Dave, I would like to know how you prepare for the long hikes in the wilderness. For e.g. clothes, food, weather, workout, etc?

[@DaveMorrow]

Awesome! I have a course that covers all that stuff, step by step, inside my online school. Email me if you're interested. [e-mail]

[@410wright]

Hi Dave, glad to see your video and I am enjoying your online school courses still! Interesting to hear how you shortened your shutter speed to get the sharper outline of the peaks vs the 1 sec previous setting that didn't show the outline as much. I would not have thought about that since my world is studio work I don't change my ss very much. but I know that a slower speed will will increase the ambient light in a studio ( I call that dragging the shutter) mainly to get more light into a background. but the landscape world is a lot different and I just find it interesting how that technique works. I think in your video you were at 1/6 ss? it made such a big difference in the shot when you shortened your ss. It really is a nice shot with the pink peak! note: so you actually hear avalanches during the night!?

[@datguy2730]

Awesome! Man I have been missing your inspirational and informative videos!!! I need to figure out if I can take another one of your great tours!

[@DaveMorrow]

Would be great to have you!

[@rodgerbivens7826]

Makes me want to get out backpacking again...although at my age I have to be careful of the weight I carry. Your use of the "Transitions" terminology is setting up your compositions really clicked with me...always trying to learn and improve.

[@DaveMorrow]

Love to here it. Get out there. Any adventure is a great one:)

[@SandraBassin]

Wow!that was so much fun! Beautiful site and a relaxing visit with you. Felt like we were sipping whiskey together in the snow

[@DaveMorrow]

Thanks!

[@vladimirevrov8363]

I like all your videos and the detail lessons. Thanks for the inspiration Dave! But it is interesting for me, if you are using a tripod and the shutter speed is not so important, why the ISO is 200 and not 64 for example? Why you choose higher ISO?

[@kathieodonnell6882]

Hi Dave - per usual vicariously enjoyed your video. I also follow the Natl. Parks at Night group and they mentioned Sherry Pincus. Ever hear of her? - apparently like you she does extended backpacking trips and night photography. The other thing I wanted to comment on....due to watching your videos, I purchased a Nikon f2.8 14-24 mm lens for a retirement present to myself. It did a soft plop fall (probably less than 6 inches as I was shooting low). into the sand dunes in Colorado. Luckily I insured it and hopefully now it is being fixed as I noticed scratches and got a big flare on images where the sun caught the scratch. But, even before that I had a feeling about the lens not being quite right but wasn't sure. So, basically, if you can sometime, tell us how to determine if something is not right about a lens we purchase or how to test it. You know that one is a spendy lens. Also, since you've mentioned it is one of your more used lenses in landscape photography I'd like to learn how to use that lens to it's fullest potential. Thanks! Kathie

[@Whiskey7BackRoads]

Dave, enjoyed this video very much. Where is this hike? I am from Washington and love to hike also. Looking forward to mixing photography and hiking together. Thanks for sharing

[@DaveMorrow]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@scotty4418]

Good to see you looking fit and well Dave and your intro is still one of the best out there. Loved that night time image too. In terms of where you set up camp, what was your elevation at that point

[@cicco5833]

Thanks for sharing such an epic experience. Just curious how you manage your camera battery life on such a long outing

[@DaveMorrow]

Lots of batteries:)

[@brandonsilver]

Hey Dave, can you really quick talk about those rad blue (waterproof?) gloves you had on while shooting? What are those and how functional/practical are they?

[@DaveMorrow]

Will do a Q&A in future. Saved your question:)

[@cmichaelhaugh8517]

Envious!

[@1961Duane314]

Welcome back. I resubscribed to your channel. Wondered what happened to you a few times.

[@RayMajoran]

Hey Dave, Thanks for your videos. Always appreciate you, and what you do! I guess my only question would be specifically related to daytime shots: When you find yourself buried below a peak for a sunrise/sunset, any reason you prefer to "play it as it lies" vs. throwing up a drone (I.e. M2P) to capture a multi-stitch pano a little higher up? Is it just the cold weather/altitude/batteries that dissuade you from doing that (or perhaps you're in a national park, and can't)? Anyways, just curious. Have an amazing day!

[@lastdaystravellastdaystrav2233]

hi, what kind of kayak are you using?

[@Luigi13]

On one of your latest video I saw that you where shooting with the Nikon Z7? Did you upgrade the camera body? In this video you are using the Nikon D810 with the 28-200 lens? Good camera. Sleeping on the snow do you guys manage to sleep through? Cheers.

[@gwisesan]

Hi Dave, Your website said to contact you via KZbin vs. email. I'd like to shoot the Northern Lights this year. Are you doing any tours or can you recommend some other tours? Any preference (Alaska, Iceland, Norway)?

[@DaveMorrow]

Hey Garett, good to hear from you. I'm not doing any northern lights this year. Personally, I'd go to Alaska. Iceland is a mass tourist trap now. The place is kinda ruined... You can read this guide and fly into fairbanks and probably manage just fine on your own: www.davemorrowphotography.com/2014/10/how-to-photograph-northern-lights.html I don't have any recommends. Sorry!

[@davehayford4294]

Dave, please forgive me if his has been asked. How do you warm up in the morning?

[@DaveMorrow]

Do 50 bodyweight squats and you're warm! Down everything. Pants. Jacket. Everything!
