Photo of cows under snowy mountains - antique style
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera on June 19th 2007. Click image for larger view.

In this photo you can see some cows grazing under snowy mountains. A scene like this is very national romantic here in Norway and thus I wanted to create an antique look in this photo.

Used some filters in light room and photoshop for the effects.

Went for a walk a up in the mountains and this is the view I got when I turned around. It was very steep so had a hard time standing and photographing.
The fjord is called “VÃ¥gsfjorden”. The mountain is called “Drangen” and is 1022 meters above the fjord.

Photo from a warm day on the coast in northern Norway
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera on June 22nd 2007. Click image for larger view.

What beautiful and warm day here at the coast in northern Norway. I really like it when it’s 20C and slightly overcast. Anything warmer get to hot for my arctic body 🙂

Here I’m crawling between pebbles trying to make a good composition at ground level while not getting too wet from water seeping in from the ocean. When I take pictures I always think “How can I make this scene/subject more interesting” thus I often find myself in back-breaking positions.

What are your opinions on this photo?

Photo of winter mountain and pebble beach
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera on March 23rd 2007. Click image for larger view.

This photo was taken back in March when there was still lots of snow around.
I really love this beach full of millions of small pebble stones. It is very special to walk on it and listen to waves rolling in.

The reason I’m posting this photo today is that I was contacted on Flickr about this particular picture. The person contacting me are making a book about “Hurtigruten” (English: Costal Express) in Norway and wanted to use this shot in their book. I’m very excited about this because I have never been printed before!
The project is very low budget so all I’m getting from it is a free book and of course my name in it, but the satisfaction of getting printed is payment enough.

Huritigruten (or Hurtigruta as we call it in northern Norway) is a passenger and freight line that sails daily along most of of our long coastline. The trip takes 11 days and is very popular among tourists.

Photo of midnight sunset and some amazing clouds
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera on June 12th 2007. Click image for larger view.

This photo was taken through my bedroom window at midnight. I guess it’s not really a sunset because the sun is not setting in the horizon. The midnight sun is just hiding behind the mountains.

What I really found striking with this scene, was the massive cloud formations. Don’t you want to fly up there, lie down in the cotton clouds and get a tan from the midnight sun? Sounds like a nice dream to me 🙂
