I woke up today to snow covering the mountain peaks. It is a sign that autumn will soon be coming here in northern Norway, but it makes a pretty picture don’t you think?

The mountain peaks are 1000 meters above the sea.

  1. Et flott bilde, men jeg har et dumt spørsmål,
    hvorfor har du blender på 3,5, jeg har fått det rådet å bruke blender 20-22 på landskapsbilder fordi du da vil få hele bildet skarpt, stemmer dette med dine erfaringer?

    Hilsen en nybegynner

    Takk for besøket og observasjonen av f 3,5. Gikk litt fort i svingene når jeg skrev blog posten. Har retta den til f 9.

    Det er rikitig at man bør bruke liten blenderåpning på landskapsbilder, men det kommer an på hvilket kamera du har. Du må ha et proff kamera med full frame sensor (feks canon 5d) for at det ikke skal bli diffraskjon (tror det er rett uttrykk, er ikke så stødig på begrepene) ved høy f nummer.

    For mitt kamera blir det diffraksjon over f11/13 derfor går jeg sjelden over det.

    Kunne med fordel brukt f11 pÃ¥ dette bildet 🙂

  3. Great photo… but the snow is still far off, so you may yet get a while longer with some warm weather!

    If not, relocate to Malta for a while!

    🙂

    Might have to do that. I’m a sucker for good weather 😉

    Claire:
    I have been to the mountains you see “behind” the peaks, but not the peaks them self. Been wanting to go there, but they are very steep and a bit dangerous so you can’t go alone. Not easy to find people that want go on the risky peaks.
    Want to go with me? 😉

  5. Looking at this picture I feel like I’m there, seeing this beautiful scenery from a window! I guess that’s cause the clarity of the image is excellent! You’ve wonderfully captured the whole thing! 😀
