it is going to be a rainy one here in Senja today
it looks beautiful out there, though
days like today might not seem ideal for a place like this one
where it's all about the vistas, and the majestic mountains
but they are very moody, and they can give you very subtle, great images
I think I found one here
there was a peak right in front of me that you could barely see through the clouds
now it's gone again
so I'm just waiting, hoping that it will show up again
because that one could make for a great very, very subtle image
look at this
in just a few seconds out there
soaking wet
this right here is so beautiful
I think I'm gonna be here for a while, because the clouds...
you know, the whole scene just keeps changing
this is what I love about this kind of weather
if it was a clear sunny day, you'd have the mountain right in front of you
and that's it, that's the view, that's what you see, that's what you get
but today, you get so many different angles of the same scene, of the same mountain
I'm gonna take it easy today, it's gonna be a very slow day
it's going to be photography mostly from the car, or very close to the car
and really quick outings to take a shot
I have plastic bags to protect the camera
I'm gonna wait here for new scenes to reveal themselves
this is stunning and incredibly magical
everything I was hoping for here in northern norway
since I'm waiting here, I decided to make breakfast
which is almost done
I'm just lacking the bananas, but those are in the back of the car
I'm trying to decide if it's worth getting out there and getting wet for a banana
or if I should just go ahead and have it like this
I've been having this swedish... I bought them there, at least
oats, and they're pretty good
as I said, it's going to be a very slow day
I just need to be patient, because the images will come
I just need to wait and pay attention
never before was I so glad that my breakfast got interrupted
I had to jump outside because the peak showed up again
just for 15 to 20 seconds at most
so I grabbed my camera, went out there
I think I got at least a couple of them that are gonna be very good
and probably the best image that I can hope to make here
so I might consider just moving on after I'm done with my breakfast
awesome, what a place
I'm just a little bit farther down the road now
there is another very cool view here
it's hidden now, of course
but that's the thing with these drives
especially when you drive through a place for the first time, you don't know the landscape
because these clouds might be blocking the view
if you don't know the location, you might be missing out on very good images
so I was very lucky that I saw that peak when I was driving in, just a while ago
that made me stop
and since then, I think I found a couple of cool spots to make images from
a very atmospheric and moody day
it's beautiful, I love this kind of weather and landscape of course
but it's going to be a long day
I don't have much to do other than just sitting in the car
that is an incredible view of the fjord
but for the first time on this trip I got very cold
so double jacket
hopefully this will help
sometimes, shooting from the car can create moodier images
we can use the windshield, and the
windows, and the drops, and the windshield and all that moisture
to create an even more dramatic atmosphere
this is unbelievable, so pretty
and you haven't seen this side yet
I'm going to make a decaf to warm me up
it's not that cold, but with the rain and with the wind...
one gets cold really quick, and then it's really hard to warm up again
this should do it
it's hot, but it feels good
not only they are beautiful mountains
but what makes them really unique is that they are at the ocean
those huge cliffs that end on the water
that's something really cool, something beautiful
it's what I'm going to be trying to capture here
I'm at ersfjord and oh man, this is going to be a treat
whoa
I got totally overwhelmed out there
this place is just so beautiful
so beautiful, and the conditions are perfect
I took a bunch of pictures
I only brought my 28-200mm lens because the conditions are beautiful
but I mean, it's not the best time to be changing lenses or setting up the tripod for anything
it is windy too
I think it was more than enough
I don't know about the images, though
I did shoot a lot, and I think I had a few compositions that I liked
but I don't know if the images are going to be interesting enough
because there is a lot of mountains around here, and the fog is making them look amazing
so when you do a close-up of the peak, just showing up or sticking out
that works pretty well
but I wanted to do something different
so I needed something to show scale
or to contrast those mountains against that something
that was not as easy to find here as I thought
I used some power lines
I used an old school RV that was parked there
and I was trying to use the jetty
I don't know if those worked or not
but I mean...
and we are not done here yet, because I left the best spot for last
I don't know if I'm gonna have a clear view with all these clouds rolling in and out
but I'm gonna try it
this rain just came out of nowhere
I am soaked, my cameras are too
and now, with all the condensation here in the car too
funny thing, it's not raining anymore
it was just a quick one
hopefully, it's all right
look at the bag, it's totally soaked
but it's supposed to be waterproof
so it's a good test, I guess
it was indeed a very rainy day here in Senja
but what a beautiful day, what a beautiful place
I can't wait to keep exploring it
just a few minutes ago, when I was taking one long exposure and the sun
was breaking out behind the clouds
that was the first truly magical moment of the trip
it felt like I was somewhere really out of this world
I'm gonna stick around just a little bit longer
because I think that the sunset is gonna be very epic
it's not going to give me a lot of new images in black and white
it's going to be probably mostly about the color
but I might be wrong
so I think it's totally worth just waiting here and see what happens
whatever happens, I hope you enjoyed the day as much as I did
I hope that the video took you along on this journey of mine
thank you so much for watching, and see you in the next one!
