Lofoten, a photo from Nordland, North

Photographer's Note

Lofoten - NORWAY
It was our honeymoon. Tour in 2009 in late August and September. We were lucky with the weather only 15 days next 15 days was, as always. Norway was the fulfillment of our dreams that come true in 100 percent. Our idea was only a substitute for what happened to us there.

Two Shots:
f/22, 1/200 sekund
f/11, 1/100 sekund
Photo made in photoshop using masks.

Hello Monika,
I really love the way you processed this image. Looks like a night shot in broad daylight. The use of the wide angle lens really puts you in the shot and further enhances the beauty of the Norwegian coast. The colourful foreground draws the attention and makes for a very pleasing composition.
Kind regards,
Christian

You have chosen well your destination for honeymoon!
This is a place I'd like to visit...
A wonderful scenery captured masterfully.
I could not understand how you could obtain such a clear contralight until I read your explanation in the note. The result is very good and pleasant. I like the star-like sun, I suppose it's the effect of a filter?
the composition is very harmonious and those rocks in the sea make it looks like in 3D. Excellent clarity too.
Well done,
Donato

Hello Monika - The scintillating light reflections on the sea add a liveliness to this otherwise calm landscape. I like your composition very much, the FG interest is attractive and adds good depth to the shot. Very good light management, nice job. Rosemary

Hi Monika
A wondeful landscape enhanced by the backlight. Excellent framing and I like the star made by the sun and the silver line on the sea.

Ciao dear Monika,
I looked at your beautiful gallery and I must say that you really are an excellent photographer. Today I have chosen this picture, not only because it is beautiful, but above all because it was captured in difficult lighting conditions, obtaining an amazing result. The sharpness and the depth are perfect, truly a great shot. Congratulations!
Ciao, have a nice Wednesday!
