Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera on July 11th, 2007. Click image for larger view.
I love walking the beach at midnight when it is summer. Everything is calm and all you can hear is the sound of the nature; sea gulls crying, waves rolling the beach and the sound of your feet walking the sand. Walks on the beach are soothing for my mind, body and spirit. I recommend it!
This photo was taken with my new sweet wide angle lens. So far this lens is threating me very good

I envy you. Do you mind if I just spend the day staring at this photo? What a tranquil place with a special magic. You really did capture the beauty.

Thanks for the compliment of asking me to examine your blog. I took a quick look through Photos from northern Norway (http://blog.thomaslaupstad.com).
Initial impression: very good. The panoramic scene at the top is spectacular. Black text on white ground is a good choice - particularly as a neutral background for your photos.
Nit-picking detail: Your English syntax is about as good as many native speakers (”Walks on the beach is” where “walks on the beach are” would be correct usage). This is a minor point. Your blog is very readable.
In your “Recent readers” section: I would have made the avatars smaller, if possible, to reduce the size of the section as a whole - but that’s my style. It may not be yours. * Internal links, like “Feel free to check out my other insect photos.”: a very good feature. That makes your blog much more useful for visitors.
Technical information about the camera and settings: That’s a standard used by many serious photographers. I appreciate the way you put the text of this information in a smaller font: That makes it easier for a casual reader to skip over it, and draws the serious photographer’s attention to it by contrast with the rest of the text.

Makes me wish I was sitting there with a six pack and a fishing pole.

Nice shot always. Just curious if the water is cold. Can you swim?
I doubt you will like the hot Sun in Arizona. It’s very hot now..

Nice pictures. Are these available at any stock photo houses?

Norski: Thanks a lot for taking the time
I can’t believe I used is instead of are. Silly me!
Gonna look into how you get the MBL widget smaller. I’m not very tech savvy so it might take a while.

BobG: One of my fave activites

Terence: It’s probably pretty cold, like 15C. On sunny days the beaches are filled with locals and many of them swim.

Fred: Thanks
Nope, I haven’t got into stock photography. Might consider it, but it’s hard to get accepted at the big agencies.
Got any tips on what photo house I should try?
