Midnight in Lofoten - Svolvær, Norway

This shot was taken close past midnight in Svolvær. It took numerous attempts to get the required exposure as the clouds kept rolling in and chucking down snow on us. The weather was changing every 5 minutes. Finally managed to get this 130s exposure. In the background you can see the clouds already rolling in for the next round.

Wee hole in the clouds - Lofoten

I managed to wake up for sunrise on this particular day (which is a massive task for me). The sky was overcast and gloomy. I setup the camera on the tripod and waited in hope of a break in the clouds to let some light through. As I was about to give up and head back, this tiny little hole opened up to let some light through. The light literally lasted for less than a minute and about 2 minutes later a blizzard. Glad that I waited just long enough.

A dash of colour! - Fløyfjellet, Lofoten

A view right outside our door step in Svolvær. The mountain seen here is Fløyfjellet. The mountain is popular among climbers, in particular Svolværgeita, a 150 m (490 ft) high pinnacle at the southern face which resembles a goat with two horns.

Embracing the Storm - Svolvær, Lofoten, Norway

The pier in Svolvær during a blizzard. We walked to the pier when it was sunny but the by the time we got their (which was less than 10 mins), the weather changed completely and everything went white and kind of flat. Decided to go for a moody image trying to capture the blizzard. Thanks @instasurs for walking in knee deep snow for scale and adding some colour to the almost white landscape.

Red & White - Lofoten, Norway

A Norwegian Cul-de-sac we came across while wandering in Svolvær. I love the contrast between the bright red Rorbu cabins and the white winter landscape of Lofoten. These cabins can be found all over in the Lofoten archipelago. Used a long lens to compress the background and accentuate Fløyfjellet mountain in the background.

An opening in the clouds - Lofoten, Norway

It was mostly an overcast day in Lofoten with the sun peeking through now and then for just a couple of minutes at a time. I liked how the parts of the landscape were lit while the rest of the scene was in shade. In this image the light is just hitting the islands in the middle while the mountains in the distance are covered with thick dark clouds.
