Will has^ managed^ to^ shoot^ a^ wonderful^ group^ of
images^ that^
document^ his^ travels^ in^ a^ fun,^ colourful^ way.
My biggest^ reservation^ is^
that^ in^ his^ Northern^ Lights^ shot^ there^ has^ a^ b
it of camera-shake^ in^
the mountains^ when^ zooming^ in.^ This^ is^ may^ be^ b
ecause^ the^ camera^
was^ knocked^ during^ the^ exposure,^ or^ the^ ima
ge stabilization^ was^ left^
on, which^ can^ cause^ a^ blurry^ image^ when^ on^ a^ t
ripod. If^ you’re^ lucky^
enough^ to^ have^ another^ chance^ I’d^ suggest^ a^ rock
- solid^ tripod,^ engage^
the^ two^ sec^ Self-timer^ mode^ and^ switch^ off^ a
ny image^ stabilization.

of luck, hoped to see the
Northern Lights – not
guaranteed in March.
The Norwegian coastline is
blessed with opportunities to
shoot countless fjords, bays
and inlets, including beautiful

absence of any breeze, the
multi-coloured heritage
buildings, as well as boats
resting on the water, provided
the elements for a great

Next up, Trondheim had
amazingly lush conditions
when shooting the canal area
from the Old Town Bridge.
Entering Svolvær Harbour
provided a lovely evening
vista, enhanced by the muted
light of the midnight sun.
Capturing the Northern

I researched the best way to
shoot them and learnt that you
need a wide aperture, high
ISO and a long exposure to let
in as much light as possible.
The problem was that I was
shooting on a moving boat, so
that did not go well... Luckily
I had the chance to shoot them
again when we visited Lofoten
islands. While, at -15ºC, it
wasn’t the most comfortable

one of the most satisfying.
Once back home it was time
to download over a thousand

Besides some tweaking of
shadows and highlights, I
didn’t have to do too much in

The coastal cruise of
Norway is touted as the most
scenic route in the world. As
a photographer, it is hard to
argue with that statement.
