Autumn in Fiskfjord

Gallery: LandscapePosted September 28, 2010153 views8 comments

Autumn is truly my favourite time of the year. The colours, the temperature, the extra clean air, the smell, the sounds, everything! This picture was taken up a valley in Fiskfjord in Northern Norway. The two mountains in the background is the Fiskfjordtindene (Fiskfjord Peaks) which I felt made a great background for these wonderful autumn colours in the foreground.

This is one shot cropped to square. Taken with a Canon 5d, 70-200 f/4L, with a Lee .6 soft ND grad and a polarizer. Comments on how I could have made this shot better are much appreciated!

Welcome to NPN and ESS, and very nice first post. The color in this is so warm and rich, and I like the cloud covered peaks. Can't wait to see future posts.

Very nice. I like the added focal point of the rock in the foreground. Gosh, I sound so Norwegian just trying to pronounce "Fiskfjordtindene" out loud. Welcome to ESS. Looking forward to seeing more of your locale.

Thanks all for your kind comments! :-) did not expect to get any to be honest. I'll try to post here regularly and also review/critic/comment on other peoples work.

Tony: if you master "fiskfjordtindene" you can say more or less anythin in norwegian. ;-)

Cheers
Håkon

Beautiful Autumn photo! Autumn in Skandinavia is particularly beautiful and this image shows that well. 5D+70-200 F/4 is also neat combo

Very nicely composed. I like the way the foreground rock mirrors the shape of the right side mountain. Well balanced tones.
