Sunsets might not be the most original or artistic thing to photograph, but I still love a good sunset photo because it reminds me of how beautiful the nature can be.
Here is my personal top 5 favorite sunset pictures that I photographed during the summer 2007 in Northern Norway.
Update: Title supposed to say 2007, not 2008.
Prints of these sunset pictures can be bought at ImageKind and 3 of the pictures appear in my calendar.
You can click on each title to read more about the individual photos.

Hey Thomas what plugin do you use for that cool image effect? The one that fades up with the loader over the page. I’ve been looking for that, but don’t know what it’s called.
7 chica // Dec 18, 2007 at 4:56 pm
amazing photos. My favorite is the second one.
8 Chris // Dec 18, 2007 at 5:07 pm
Great photos as normal
Nate I think it may be lightbox
9 Thomas Laupstad // Dec 18, 2007 at 5:09 pm
Thanks all
Yeah, I’m using lightbox. Had to try several different plugins to get it to work. Using WP lightbox JS 0.8.2.
10 n8 // Dec 18, 2007 at 5:20 pm
Right on that’s what I was looking for. Thanks for the heads up guys!

In the second photo your timing couldn’t have been more perfect, and I love the framing.
I was surprised that these are summertime pictures, they look autumny to me…. looks like a wonderfully unique place on the earth, would love to visit.

I noticed the time on the first picture….. sunset at 1:30 am! that is so cool!
41 Dave // Dec 20, 2007 at 12:04 pm
I have tried taking sunset shots and i found out one very important thing, the sun goes down in Malaysia very fast when it hits the horizon. By the time i set up my cam the moment is lost
. Remind me to set up a shot very well in advance please and then only maybe i’ll have something to show. I like your sunset shots.

Stunning sunsets, at dawn?! In the Philippines, the sun sets between 5-6pm at any given day of the year. Now I have a longing to come visit Norway! And how about Aurora borealis? That could be pretty interesting too! Cheers!
