Picture from a polar day in Northern Norway – Distant sunset

Picture from a polar day in Norther Norway
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera December 30th 2007. Click image for larger view.
The polar days (I guess the correct term would be polar night day?) are pretty dark here in Northern Norway, but there are some nice sights to be seen. The sun made some nice colors at midday so I had to take my dear camera out in the cold weather.

The same mountains, in an autumn setting, can be seen in this picture.

  1. 1/8s exposure… I guess tripod is your best friend, when it comes to photography.

    Situation isn’t that much better here in Helsinki either. Today, I went for a walk with local birdwatchers and most of the images had use monopod and take shots with ISO800-1600, so that shutter speed would be around 1/50s and 1/100s and even that is probably too slow (I was shooting with 420mm lens). We’ll see if I got anything useful, once I have time to copy files from compact flash and check them through.
