Yellow and Red Houses, Lofoten Islands

The traditional fishing huts on stilts come in two flavours, yellow and red - both excellent for landscape photography. The cliffs scenes are from A the most northerly point of the Lofoten Islands. Night scenes from around our cabin.

Reine District Dawn

We went out to watch the sunrise on a bridge overlooking Reine - not a great hardship as first image taken at 9.30am. There were snow showers and then clearer periods. We then returned to our cabins and the sun the came out for us. The images are in chronological order showing the changes in the light. The last image is home for 3 nights - more of these to follow.

After the Sunset, Haukland Beach, Lofoten Islands

A selection of images after the sunset on the beach, the first two with the Fuji-XT and 10-24mm (good choice Phil), then two at 10 secs followed by variety of shutter speeds from 1.6 to 2.5 secs

Haukland Beach Lofoten Islands Norway

The flight from Bodo to Leknes was very bumpy going through large cumulus clouds but, by the time we had been picked up from the airport, the rain had gone and the sky cleared. We travelled a short way to Haukland Beach and were treated to a beautiful sunset. There were still large blocks of ice on the river banks and beach, which made great lead-in features for the compositions.

Oslo Opera House and Harbour

We got the train into Oslo on Monday evening to shoot the final light of the day in the harbour.Very impressive building and waterfront though there are a lot of building works going on at the moment.

Day One in Norway

 We have made it to Oslo where we are staying overnight at this hotel before the flight to the Lofoten Islands for 8 days tomorrow. There has been heavy snowfall recently and very cold conditions resulting in some beautiful frosted trees, captured during a short walk just as the sun went down.
