Friday Photo #639 – Aurora

Photo: Northern lights dance over Storsandnes beach, Flakstadøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. March 6, 2025. 20:46 Like every year, the ever shortening nights of April mean Lofoten’s northern lights season is quickly coming to an end. This season has been a good one. Especially so for my photo workshop clients, which, despite some challenging weather, each […]

March 24, 2024. 22:17 Eight months after their first appearance in Lofoten’s night sky, the northern lights will soon be making their departure for brief summer break.

Friday Photo #636 – End Of The Road

Photo: View across the sea from the cliffs at Å to Værøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. February 18, 2024. 13:49 I make frequent visits to the end of the road at Å each winter and despite being quite familiar with the location, still find it a bit of difficult place to photograph. I think mainly that […]

Friday Photo #635 – Winter Cormorants

Photo: Cormorants at dawn, Haukland beach, Vestvågøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. February 15, 2024. 09:11 As the blue hour light over Haukland beach faded into early dawn I was ready to head off to the next location. But walking back to the van, I thought this row of skarven – cormorants had a nice profile against […]

Friday Photo #634 – Winter Light

Photo: Soft dawn sunlight shine over Flakstadtind, Lofoten Islands, Norway. February 6, 2024. 09:24 Before this moment I had actually been shooting pretty wide in the 14-20mm range with some nice foreground wave action over the rocks along the coastline at Vareid. In that situation, these background mountains are quite far away and small – […]

Friday Photo #633 – Unstad Winter

Photo: Dusting of snow covers rocks at Unstad beach, Vestvågøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. February 5, 2024. 12:23 Sometimes one doesn’t need to contribute much more to a photograph than being there. This is one of those times: park the van, walk 50 meters, setup camera and tripod, take a photo. Lofoten has done all the […]

Friday Photo #632 – Frozen Reinefjord

Photo: Olstind mountain peak rises over a frozen Reinefjord, Toppøy, Lofoten Islands, Norway. February 7, 2024. 10:16 It is not so often that Lofoten is still enough or cold enough for a large portion of Reinefjord to begin to freeze over. From a higher view point, I could see that the surface was frozen well […]

Friday Photo #631 – Hamnøy Bridge View

Photo: The classic view from Hamnøy bridge, Lofoten Islands, Norway. February 20, 2024. 07:30 A moody morning at one of Lofoten’s classic views: the red rorbu cabins from Hamnøy bridge. While the desire for many photography is for a bright and colorful sunrise, I generally tend to prefer a bit more of a moody shot […]

Over the next two months thousands of photographers will stand shoulder to shoulder on this bridge, rain or shine, sunrise or sunset, […]
