all right
I need this lens
come on, come on, come on
all right, let's go
come on, come on, come on
cool!
good morning, still from the Helgeland coast in Norway
I thought I was going to leave this part of the country much sooner
but Norway just keeps on giving and giving
it's still pretty early, just past seven
but everyone seems to be awake and driving around
as I was saying, Norway just keeps on giving and giving, no matter where I go
I was not expecting to find a lot of beautiful landscapes here in the central part of the
country
but I was so wrong
this is beautiful and stunning as well
this is why it's taking me a little bit longer than I expected to get out of this part of
the country
and just go farther south where I have plenty of spots that I want to visit
but I don't want to just drive by these places and not photograph them
so here I am
this spot that I'm photographing this morning is an art installation
it looks very cool and I think it's just the perfect spot for a long exposure
I was here last night, but I got here a little bit too late
because the tide was a little bit too high
it was already covering the tiles a little bit
they were not as clear as I wanted them to be
the image was fine, but I think I can make a better one this morning
that's why I came back here
but this time I'm a little bit too early, the water is too low
I wanted it a little bit higher, so I just need to wait
all right, gonna take another exposure here...
this is gonna take longer than I was expecting
so I'm gonna make a coffee... hot coffee, too, because it's very cold out here
as I said in the last video, I got an apartment in the little town of Mo i Rana
I spent four nights there
it was a nice break from living in the car for more than a month
a nice break from photography 24/7 as well
I also got a lot of work done, the Wi-FI was amazing
so I was able to schedule a lot of videos for here
I backed everything up
which gives me a lot of peace of mind
because I know now...
I have the photos in the memory cards
but also I copied them to the hard drives, and now they are in the cloud as well
so if something were to happen to my camera bag
or my hard drives, or both
I would still have a copy in the cloud at least
before I got to town, I drove through another part of this beautiful helgeland coast
my personal favorite is one of a tree I took by a rest stop where I spent the night
during the last couple of days and since I left the apartment
I'm still driving the same scenic drive
this part of the coast is full of beautiful spots everywhere
like for example, a couple nights ago, I spent the night at a parking lot
and it was absolutely beautiful
this is the parking lot for a hike, but it's pretty big and there is no one here
look at that view, it's pretty amazing
so yeah, I think I'm going to spend the night here
I made a lot of images of the peaks around there
I even made a picture of the bathrooms themselves
I thought they looked pretty cool at night
but again, my personal favorite I think is one of a tree
that I found during my evening walk
against the backdrop of one of those mountain peaks
and the weather, the atmosphere, was just absolutely beautiful
with those low clouds hanging
as opposed to Lofoten, where I was kind of knowing what I was going to find there
where I knew kind of what to expect
I didn't know much about this part of the country
so I wasn't expecting a lot
it might not be as spectacular as Lofoten is
but it's still absolutely breathtaking
I am down to 2-minute long exposures now
it's much brighter
yeah, that's plenty and it's looking very good
it's getting better and better
it's getting to definitely closer to what I had envisioned for this shot
I just want the water slightly higher than it is right now
and I think I'll get what I wanted
but I took a bunch of shots this morning
I took an exposure every few minutes
I'm gonna have a lot to choose from
I still think that the one that I'm yet to make is gonna be my favorite
but I like a lot of the ones that I already made and they are different
I don't know, I might change my mind
and... just for fun
I'm gonna be in the next shot
it makes me very nervous to have my two cameras so close to the water
unattended
there is a little breeze
all right, time is up
I'm taking now what is going to be my last exposure
I have a lot of shots to choose from, even from from yesterday
I've been here for more than two hours, so I think it's enough
I'm gonna show you now my favorite image of the bunch
okay, getting some gas
it's at 19.87 NOKs, or Norwegian krones
that is by far the cheapest I've seen it
all right, time for a little walk
there is a mountain that you can see behind me
it's supposed to have a hole in the middle
it's visible from the southern part of the mountain
so that's where I'm going now
there are a lot of those where I live, where I grew up, in Northwest Spain
you've seen me taking photos of them in the fog many, many times
there is no fog here today
but we do have a pretty cool backdrop there
that's something I don't have back in Spain
so I'm gonna photograph that
I think it's a cool shot
okay, there you have the hole in the mountain, right there
it's kind of cool
I think I have to get on that field to avoid the weeds here in the foreground
I've been using the 50mm 1.4
going to switch to the 35 and get closer to the bales
hopefully the sun... just came out right now, of course
and now, that plastic... that white plastic wrap, whatever the name is
is super bright
I have way too many things in this little bag
but it's much...
more convenient to bring just this than the huge camera bag I have
one thing that I like about shooting in this weather
by this weather, I mean, kind of cooler temperatures is that
I should...
I have to wear a jacket like this
so I can put stuff in my pockets
that's extra space, extra storage
that's a pretty view
so here I am, taking of course another long exposure
using the 35 still
just a couple minutes, maybe enough to smooth out a little bit...
to get a little bit of motion on those clouds
it's not exactly what I was hoping to find here
I was not counting on those buildings there
it would be better without them
but I can't do anything about that
I am so excited, because my favorite grocery store here in Norway
or at least so far, here in Northern and Central Norway
is one called Coop
they have these tiny stores called Coop Prix
they have the bigger ones, Coop Extra
but I just found a Coop Mega
and I have no idea what that means, but I have to check it out
waiting for the ferry, just 15 minutes
it's going to be a very fast ride, 20 minutes I believe
so I might not even get out of the car
this might be the last ferry I take for a while
because this is gonna be the last section of this whole...
helge...
I'm gonna try to pronounce it, helgelandskyten drive, scenic Drive
and I found a couple of spots that were very cool
the first one was a bridge that was called something like that
and the other spot was one just before getting here
the landscape was nice, but the light... that light!
and many other spots at this helgeland coast
where I didn't record videos
but where I got some images like these ones
still looking pretty beautiful at this other side
and I saw moose for the first time here in Norway
that was pretty cool
so let's take a look from the air
so cool
all right, that was quite a bit of driving
but I finally found a spot that is...
close to the road, but it should be okay just to spend the night
it was a long day on the road
it was a fun one, though
I got to take some photos, so that's always great
and I'm surrounded by beautiful landscapes
I hope you enjoyed the video
thank you so much for watching, and see you in the next one!
