Moellebukta Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

I've obviously been neglecting my TE account for some time now but I hope I can change that habit.

This is a photo created from 5 different exposures taken at this location outside Stavanger.
The location is "Møllebukta", it is also the location for the monument "Sverd i fjell" which commemorate the battle that unified Norway back in the viking ages.
The battle was called "The battle of Hafrsfjord".

I did not use a tripod and there are some "disturbing elements...like the "ghost" swan in the right side of the photo...

As for other news:
Only 19 more days and I get to go to Japan!

Hi Odd.
I like this shot a lot. It's beautiful like a painting, with this light paints, the perfect composition and the melancholic mood.
Well done.
Best regards.
Bobo.

Nice "ghosty" photo, it has the charme of amateurs, but well-composed and the colours are really beautiful. Thanks for sharing and returning to us, Jalab

Hey Japan-fahrer.

A nice photo but the beachline and the trees look like the could need som color. The same with the distant horizon. POV is nice and the clouds are full of life:)

PeCO

Hi Odd,
That's a strange place. Kind of mysterious place with a rich past history.
Cheers
Marc

Hello, yes you are right about my 'today shot' it is oversaturated. I have just deleted it, as I saw the difference.
I will try to put other one tomorow. Hope, it will be better ;-)
thanks for comment!
