p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Reine, Lofoten


The village of Reine is one of the most beautiful places on the Lofoten Islands in Northern Norway. The images were shot end of May.

According to the new rules I posted the 2:3 images with 1200 px length and the panorama images (including the 16:9 ones) with 800 px height.

C&C welcome.

Boris

Hi Boris, IMHO the 4th image is a superior composition with the road leading my eye through the village and into the distance. I think making the sky color more natural would help this shot a lot. Beautiful place indeed.

Thanks Dale for your feedback. By "making the sky color more natural" you mean lighter or a different WB?

I shot this image with several different exposures. The one posted above was one of the images that was rather underexposed. After recovering the darker parts in PP, the color in the sky was still very intense, which I liked.

Amazing scenery! Just a tip, reflections are never brighter than the sky they are reflecting. In all these was a GND filter used? If so, I'd say it was too dark of a filter as the sky is too dark in relation to the reflections. If you could get the reflections in the water darker than the sky or lighten the sky so it brighter than the reflection they'd have more natural look to them.

Thanks Scott! I didn't use a real GND filter for these images but I applied some location corrections (digital GND) afterwards with LR in the PP step. I like the sky as it is, but maybe I should have also darken the reflections in the water a bit more.

Exactly right. If the sky is darkened (I like it as well), the water must be darkened as well to correspond. It isn't the sky or the water that looks "unnatural", it's the disparity between them that does.

Anyway, they're beautiful images of amazing scenery.
