Summer evening at Fedje, a photo from Hordaland, South

Photographer's Note

I was on my way to capture some sunset photos on the island of Fedje when I came across this scene. I had to make a short stop here and capture some photos. I was attracted to the red boat house nicely illuminated by the sweet evening light - the time was almost 22:30 when this was taken. I took a couple of shots and suddenly i saw this boat coming in. I waited for the boat to enter the scene and captured a couple of shots more. This is one of them.

Hello Erling,

Photography is often about good timing.
The boat is interesting but, for me, it is the rich, red house that captures most attention. It looks to be almost smouldering in the low sunlight.
What a great scene!
You must have been overwhelmed by the photographic possibilities here!

Have a great w/e,
Bev :-)

HI Erling,great choice of the moment,the light of the nordic summer in this hour is perfect to warm up the colors and to give the best brightness to the reflections. Great half and half very geometric and with a lovely atmosphere too,i like it! Have a nice weekend and thanks,Luciano

Hej Erling,
Ljuset, färgerna och speglingarna gör den här bilden smått fantastisk. Du gjorde klokt i att vänta på den lilla båten, men detta hade blivit en enastående komposition även utan den. Det röda båthuset är inte bara en en riktig "eye-catcher", det är också en väldigt vacker byggnad. Men det är förstås aldrig fel att få med lite rörelse och människor också. Och klockan 22:30 hade du förstås fortfarande gott om tid till solnedgången. ;-)
Vänliga hälsningar,
Gert

Bonjour Erling,

Une magnifique composition qui ressort dans la galerie. Il faut avouer que les reflets font le travail et sont parfaits. Quelle belle heure de la journée et quelle belle lumière.

Amicalement

Good afternoon Erling,
Warm golden tone prevailed and a fabulous reflection over water had doubled the sight.
The motion of the crossing boat superbly detected.
Fine moment rendered.
Enjoy your weekend,
Ike

Hello Erling,
What a magnificent photo. The view is gorgeous with the warm light on the charming houses. The reflections are fantastic too and very nicely distorted in the smallest ripples in the water.

Hej Erling,
Wonderful evening sunshine shot with intense reddish light. You have excellent framing, and it is good to have that boat in the view too. That red shed right next to water is quite picturesque.

Hello dear Erling and have a nice time
and a happy new day
and now the question is which is the original one?
nobody can understand it because both are the best
greetings

Hello Erling
At first I look at this splendid picture without reading the note and I fantasized how I should have frame this scene. I think I should have tried it without the sky at the lower side of the picture creating a scene with two almost equal parts.
Then I read your note and discovered the boat entering this fascinating scene and suddenly I had to look at the picture with different eyes.
Lovey presentation, Groet Rob

Olá, Erling!

Os reflexos das casas ficaram muito bonitos! A casa laranja se destaca na composição. Belos contrastes.
Boa foto!

Bonjour, cher Erling,
Miroir, mon beau miroir
Simple reflet de nos traits ou de notre âme ? Les miroirs ne mentent pas, n'en déplaisent aux narcissiques...
Réussite complète sur cette réalisation.
Bravo.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hello, Erling!

The perfect reflection on the calm water looks beautiful, I like the symmetry of this photo! And the warm colors of the end of the day are wonderful! Very nice composition! Well done!

Hi Erling,

That is absolute perfection shot of reflection
I like the reddish sunset ray that is casting on the photo

Those houses are very unique
Nice perspective of the red house, speed boat and river front

Awesome job!

Hello Erling, patience and maybe some good fortune in your timing has enabled you to take this beautiful picture.
The almost completely still water has created excellent reflections.
The white and the bright red of the buildings really 'grab' the eyes!
I like the boat just coming into the frame.
Regards Jean.

Hello Erling,
Lots of attractive warm tones on this splendid sunset picture.
The reflections with only minor ripples on the water look fantastic!
Best regards, Paul
