Sunrise, Sunset and Right To Roam

in #photofeed6 years ago

Happy Friday 🚀

The golden light has faded again for today and I've got another batch of photos for you. British people love to talk about the weather, I hate to reinforce that stereotype but cor blimey have we had some cracking days of sunshine. Word on the street is that September is the golden month for Lofoten, I reckon my friends arriving on Sunday will be pleased to hear that.

Today was a mix of 👨🏼‍💻/📸/🏃‍♂️/⛰ as most of my days here have been.

👨🏼‍💻Laptop club was minimal but fairly productive. I've now opted for a "no need to rush" approach to finishing this first version.

📸A bunch of nice shots today. I tried in vein to get a silhouetted "person blocking sun" shot, perhaps the drones dynamic range just can't hack it or the subject wasn't positioned well enough to take up the right amount of the frame. Not sure but had a coupe shots I liked. 🤷‍♂️

🏃‍♂️ / ⛰ Running, movement practise and a mini hike through the local ridge. 👌

Took the drone out for a another spin around the local area. Clear skies, low hanging cloud cover and dregs of the fading light.

Tangstad, Lofoten vs epic sunset light

An arctic beach, inviting until you know the water temperature. Still inviting if you've got a decent wetsuit 🏄‍♂️

Arctic Beach - Gimsøyaa

I keep looking at the closest ridge and thinking it must be possible to get there. There are no trails but this is Norway and with the right to roam you can pretty much go wherever you want if you're respectful. Andreas and I set out to find a way, we didn't quite make it as the light was fading fast, half way was good enough for now.

Lofoten Ridge Mission at Sunset

It's 4 miles to the nearest shop. I don't have a car but I've been cycling a bunch so I guess I'll be alright 😉

Cycle to Spar?

Sunrise in the neighbourhood. The drone also doubles as a scouting tool when google earth doesn't have enough detail. We'll be back to try these ridges tomorrow?

gorgeous shots sam! definitely a good time of year for the lighting i'd say :)

each evening here on the homestead as well, i've basically been stunned by the amber and golden colors adorning the buildings, trees, fruits and veggies... makes the heart melt a bit.. in the best way :)

Thank you :) The light has been incredible, would like to make it back for midnight sun one year too.

Beautiful Norway! I was there for 10 days 3 years ago but didn't have time to travel up north sadly, so I will have to go back one day :) It must be an amazing feeling cycling here.

Greetings from Cape Town :)

Cape Town! Would really like to visit one day, looks like Cape Town has its fair share of awesome colours.

You're right it's totally cool to cycle :)

Drone images are just impressive :)

Thanks! Appreciate that.
