Glowing Olstinden (explored) - a photo on Flickriver

Featured on FRONT PAGE of The New Perfection In Pictures in June 2017

If you know my images, you know that I - against all common teaching - like to shoot against the sun. But not this time. Here I have the low but strong sun in my back, its rays being reflected by the snowy mountain called Olstinden on Lofoten islands. The exposure wasn't easy since the snow was very bright and sunny. And I didn't want a standard mountain-and-reflection image (which would have been nice enough, sure) but something different. So I included the see weed and turquoise-blue underwater landscape in the foreground and thus, I needed enough exposure to have some detail there, too. Amazing, what modern camera sensors are capable of.

Prints are now available for all of my images. Head over to the About-section of my web page to find out more!
