      Haha, hiking in Norway comes with “climbing” some pretty steep cliffs. The good thing about this hike in particular is that you don’t get that exposure until the very end, so you can just take a look and get out. Thanks for watching the video!

    Have really enjoyed this series of videos and generally what you create. I like that you often shoot wide open, in b&w, often square, not too many ultra wide angles and your videos are more like short movies.
    Hope your new camera is helping you realize your photography and films even more.
    One of my favorite images is by the water looking up some stone steps with mountains behind. 👍🏻👏🏻

    Your pictures of that little church encapsulates so much of this place. So many died from necessity, chasing a great wealth of fish. Many more were never found. In the North we have always been held as somewhat blasphemous by those who took scripture too literally, because Nature is so much Greater than those stories. The church looks so tiny in front of the mountain. Also because of sayings like "God is Mighty, but three men in a six-oar boat is right up there!".

    • @aows
      @aows  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for that, Steffen. Nature makes me feel that way, especially at places like Lofoten. You feel so small yet part of something much bigger. To stand in awe in front of a majestic mountain or a breathtaking fjord, that’s my definition of divine 😊 thanks for watching!

      th-cam.com/video/SUdY9LFvVE0/w-d-xo.html
      But yes, I do have to crop because I shoot RAW and that gives me the full sensor, which is 3:2. Some cameras include the original crop info in the metadata, so it might show up already cropped in your editing software.
