Dramatic Serenity

Gallery: LandscapePosted October 3, 2010161 views8 comments

A picture I took a long time ago of a sunset in a small plcae called Roksøy just outside Sortland, Norway. Taken half past midnight at the end of May, this really shows how the light can be in Northern Norway during Spring.

The image is a single exp from a 5D cropped to 1:2.5, I haven't tried printing it yet, but I've printed similar images 90cm wide without any problems so it should work well.

Great image Hakon, the clouds and the light on them are superb. I'd like to see it larger.

Very strong image. The color is great and I really like how the color on the horizon separates the the sky from the water.

I love those horizon colors and how they reflect off the clouds. Very pretty. Wish it were larger.

The foreground rock makes this work very well! Really nice colors as well.

Superb Håkon. Great idea to go with the pano, and the color and comp are spot on.

I see a couple of you ask for the picture larger. How do that work? The "Alternative larger version"? Do I have to have it hosted in another server, or does it get uploaded here to NPN?

PS: THanks for all the comments! Really appreaciate it.
