The first images from my 2 weeks in early February 2012 on the Lofoten Islands are now up on my archive. Overall there is a more variety than the images from my January 2010 trip, but I think the 2010 collection is still better overall; more dramatic and better light conditions. It was definitely a struggle this year at times. From what I’ve seen online in recent days, it seems conditions improved greatly after I left. Bad timing on my part I guess. I’ve had pretty bad conditions for my last 3 Lofoten trips, so I think I’m due for some better weather next time. One of those 25˚ C summers with no rain would be nice! Maybe if I can get back in July…

So… you’re not that happy with your photos? Can I just say that I’d kill to be able to make such beautiful photographs? I love the effect of the slow shutter speed on the water. And yes, you probably deserve better weather next time you’re up there. But you manage pretty well without 😉
Fully agree with Carolina’s last statement! Very nicely done. Your photos in poor conditions already make me more nostalgic than mine in mostly sunlight. 🙂
Thanks for the comments guys.
I wouldn’t say that I’m unhappy with the photos, there’s actually a few that I like quite a bit. I just don’t feel that I achieved the ‘mood’ I was hoping to capture. Most of that is my own fault with having a sort of ‘vision’ of the islands in winter, while the islands themselves decided to give me something different and take me a bit out of my comfort zone. I think once I sit on the images for a month or two, I’ll come to like the collection a lot better…
