Behind The Lens

Location

Here is an nice example of The Naeroyfjord Norway seen from a top called Bakkanosi. The area is on the world heritage list and is in general a very inspiring area with or without a camera. I am a self taught photographer and therefor searching the country for motives like this.

Time

After studying the map, weather forecast and where the sun would approximately rise, I started a 4 hours hike at 23:30. Hiking at night the first half of the summer is wonderful because there is no need of a headlight. I got up there at 03:30 and dawn was about to appear. A one hour wait in the cold was clearly worth it and the picture was taken the 4th of July at 04:36 AM.

Lighting

I was really hoping for the carpet of clouds I got because it amplifies the transition from night to day, giving context and giving the sun rays something to play with. You will see a clear blue sky above the clouds as a contrast and still keep the shadows from the night below.

Equipment

This was shot with an Olympus OM-D EM-1 with a 7-14 2.8 Pro lense. No other equipment was used.

Inspiration

Have been in the area several times photographing or just passing through by car I have learned the potential for great shots of the area. It will surely not be the last time I will be up there somewhere.

Editing

I processed the picture in Capture One first, exported as jpeg and then loaded the file up to Affinity Photo for further processing. The first because it is the best program for Olympus raw files and the second for retrieving shadows, removing flares and other unwanted effects from the sun.

In my camera bag

I always carry my E-M1 and 7-14 2.8 Pro. This is usually followed up by the 12mm 2.0, the 12-40 2.8 Pro and the E-M5. This kit is small and light ensuring good quality and fits a small bag in to my backpack perfectly. It handles every aspect of the climate I normally hike in Scandinavia.

Feedback

You have to be at the right place the right time of day and right time of year. So you have to do some research regarding the sun, what will be it's position? And if possible what kind of light and colours there will be at different times of the year, terrain. Is there objects that might be useful and try to envision the picture to yourself before you get out there. When you know strength and weaknesses of your equipment I think having a wide enough lense is more important then a top-notch camera.
