Picture of lonely straw and winter mountains in Northern Norway

Picture of lonely straw and winter mountains in Northern Norway
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera March 7th 2008. Click image for larger view.
In this picture you can see a lonely straw against some snow covered winter mountains in Northern Norway. I love the deep blue color on the sky in contrast to the white mountains.
I used a low f-stop, f/2.8, to get a shallow depth of field to get the mountains and the rest of the scenery a bit out of focus, while the straw is in focus.

I’ve done something similar in a scene with some grass straws and boatsheds.

  1. Wow that is different from anything I have seen on here.
    Your right about the blue its a great contrast and I don’t think I have ever seen sky over here with such a nice shade blue.

  2. I saw most of your pictures. They are sooo beautiful. They are simply breathtaking. Thank you for sharing.

  3. I love your images…….the clarity of the light is really obvious.

    I really think there are those that look and those that really ‘see’. You really ‘see’ and most importantly RECORD it with your camera. Great find i shall surely be back. Bright moments. wendy
