Behind The Lens

Location

Lofoten Islands, Norway.

Time

6pm in mid-winter.

Lighting

Waited in the cold for Blue Hour.

Equipment

Pentax K-5 with tripod for the necessary long exposure.

Inspiration

Privileged to have been able to travel (drive from the UK!) to the beautiful Lofoten Islands, Norway. The ultimate Arctic Road Trip with my Brother, intentionally incorporating the legendary islands to try to capture their beauty in-camera.

Editing

Lightroom

In my camera bag

These days: Nikon D750 + Sigma f1. 4

Feedback

"Waiting for the light" as they say, is worth it!
