This is the "back" of the village Hamnøy in Lofoten (Nordland/Norway) - a little further to the left is the harbor of the fishing villageTime
The picture was taken in the morning, but for once the time of day did not matter in view of the heavy cloud coverLighting
The clouds and the snow created a wonderful monochrome atmosphere. Only the red fishermen's huts broke the monochromeEquipment
Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, Canon EF16-35mm f/4L IS USM, 21mm, ISO 100, f/11, 30 sec, ND- and GND-filter, tripodInspiration
I love the landscape and the weather in Lofoten, especially in winter and with snow. Here the buildings are still in harmony with nature and the whole region is a paradise for photographersEditing
Fortunately, there was hardly any post-processing necessary for this picture. A little adjustment of the contrast - that's it!In my camera bag
First and foremost, I photograph landscapes. I have two lenses in my backpack for this genre: the Canon EF 16-35mm f / 4L IS USM and the Canon EF 24-105mm f / 4L IS USM. Various ND and GND filters as well as a tripod are of course always included. If the way to the photo spot is not too long or too difficult, I also like to take the Tamron 70-300mm 1: 4-5.6 SP Di VC USM with me for detailed shots. Occasionally I do astrophotography with the Tamron SP 15-30mm f / 2.8 Di VC USD, but this thing is so heavy that it is only taken for that special occasion. My second big passion is wildlife photography. Here I have the Tamron SP 150-600mm F / 5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 (also very heavy and therefore not always in the rucksack) for the larger and more abrasive specimens and the Tamron SP 90mm 1: 2.8 Di Macro 1:1 VC USD for the tiny ones I use all those lenses with my Canon EOS 5D Mark IV My newest toy is a drone: the dji Mavic 2 pro for unusual perspectives, abstractions and a view over the fogFeedback
Travel to Lofoten and find the beautiful places obvious and hidden. The weather changes constantly, you experience new moods over and over again. The same location photographed at different times can produce entirely different images
