I’m super happy to announce that I’ve just published my first eBook!  It’s taken up the majority of my free time over the last couple months, and I’ve just finished it less than 24 hours  before I’m heading back to Lofoten myself.

You can BUY THE BOOK HERE.

The cost is $5.  It is 104 pages long, contains 80 images (45 of which are a portfolio/location section) and nearly 15,000 words.  I mostly cover the basics for the first time visitor to Lofoten in winter.  But even as a photo book, I think most people will enjoy it.

I’ve added a new gallery for my winter 2014 images.

I’ve had most of the images processed for several months now, and have already posted quite a few on the blog already: winter part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6, part 7.  But now here’s some images in gallery format.

While I didn’t have much of the weather or conditions I was hoping for (ie: no snow), this somehow turned out to be one of my most productive trips to the islands.  So it was a bit difficult to narrow down the gallery to 25 images from the 165 that I have processed so far.  I think the conditions pushed me towards a greater variety and to continued exploration beyond the typical Lofoten ‘Icons.’  And the lack of snow meant I had easy hikes and nights camping at the three best beaches: Kvalvika, Bunes, and Horseid – though the northern lights remained elusive on these nights unfortunately.

I’m a little late with this one!  Well actually, I originally wasn’t going to add it at all, as I didn’t really think I had enough images and variety.  But looking at the images now, 6 months later, it doesn’t seem that bad, so here you go!

Some of you might remember that I was supposed to go hiking in Sweden’s Sarek national park in mid September last year.  Unfortunately, one day into the hike, I dropped my camera into a lake.  This left me camera-less for the next two weeks, eating up the precious few days I had in the north.  By the time I had camera back in my hands I only had 6 days left on Lofoten.  Luckily, for some strange reason, the weather gods must have felt sorry for me, and once I had a new camera, I was provided with 4 days of brilliant weather.  I didn’t let this go to waste and hiked up 4 mountains in those 4 days: Grytdalstind, Reinebringen (camped overnight), Holandsmelen, and Kroktind.  But having so little time to photograph, I wasn’t really able to achieve the variety of images I’m used to providing.  But some of the mountain views are quite nice, so I still though I’d share them, even if it’s sort of only a half-gallery in my opinion…
