Note that this guide was originally published on my website here. The Lofoten Islands in Northern Norway have become a popular location for hiking, boating and exploring in the summer and for viewing (or attempting to view) the northern lights in the winter. Even though there are some...

Yes, I still have more photos from Norway. This was late afternoon and I really liked the clouds. There was enough snow on the rocks that it took me a while to find a foreground with some definition to it. Not to mention the challenges of walking on irregular rocks buried in snow... Any...

This is a view of Sakrisøy from a neighboring island. Sakrisøy is known for its yellow rorbuer, contrasting with the red fishing cottages in other locations. The challenge here was controlling the highlights. Any thoughts are welcome. Here is an edit attempting to smooth out the blue in the...

Yes there is a building in this, but it feels much more like a landscape image than anything resembling a city. This was taken the morning after a fairly significant snowstorm. Drifts across the one road that extends through Lofoten greatly reduced traffic, allowing us to stop on the "highway"...

I've finally processed some daytime images from Hamnøy, which is probably the most iconic spot in Lofoten. I've also put together a short video, that includes some drone footage contributed by my friend Alejandro so you can get an idea of what the landscape looks like in the area. 1) The...

Hamnøy is the location of Lofoten's most famous postcard view, with iconic red "rorbuer" fishing huts in front of a towering mountain. I spent 5 nights in one of the huts and many hours on the neighboring bridge hoping to catch some green in the sky. We had one night with just a hint of aurora...

It's always a little tough getting up for sunrise after being up late shooting the night skies. It helps when sunrise is at 9 and the location is 10 minutes from where you're staying... This is sunrise at Storsandnes Beach in Lofoten. Any thoughts are welcome.

So having had the good fortune to visit Norway more than once, I have managed to image in a few very fun locations, all very far north. Here are 4 more images from my times up above the Arctic Circle in that amazingly photogenic country. Comments and critiques most welcome. Late afternoon...

So I am still trying to get the hang of this critique forum, so not sure this is exactly what is expected here. Please feel free to chime in on that if it seems like this is mis-posted here. So I am going to post 2 images shot on the same hike, from a very similar location. While I am sure...

My job has allowed me the good fortune to travel to Norway, a simply spectacularly scenic country. On this trip I took an extra day, rented a car, and drove to the small island of Kvaløya. The locals do not even consider this area to be particularly scenic, but I found it to be a wonderful...

Neato - just discovering this contest section. FW keeps showing me fun new things! So here is my entry, a 6 second exposure, from a night up above the Arctic circle in Norway, on the Island of Kvaløya. I had gone out to shoot aurora, and had dutifully been facing north, and there were some weak...

Hey guys, I just got back from Norway last night and since I was wired from 4 flights I just decided to work on photos through the night instead of sleep :D I went with 2 photo buddies from the UK and we tent camped through the mountains and a few beaches. This was my first time seeing the...
