Norwegian Fjords - Scenery!

Norwegian Fjords - Scenery! · 06:23 AM

Here's what I came back with from Norway last week- enjoy!

The rest of the gallery can be found here: Photos from around the Norwegian Fjords

As I posted elsewhere in the forum, I challenged myself to mostly stick to the FA* 85mm prime this summer- and I don't think the results have been too bad!

Great shots Adam, really liked the "Trollstigen" and the shot from Aalesund.

PiratStian · 07-09-2009, 06:42 AM

Really nice shots! I also liked the one of Trollstigen the most

Niki · 07-09-2009, 07:07 AM

those are terrific, Adam, I especially love the one with the Norwegian ponies.
hope you had a great time!

Can't pick one over the rest. Great series. Incredible landscape.

mithrandir · 07-09-2009, 09:28 AM

Wild, wooly and beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Stuning scenery, all well envisioned by the photographer. I was take with photo 11. The little town constructed out in the bay looks like something in a cartoon - the Venice of Norway.

Thanks for posting this wonderful series, I am not even going to try to pick a favourite. It is nice to see good photos of places where one has not been and probable never will see.

**Rense** · 07-09-2009, 10:39 AM

Great serie Adam. Isn't Norway a great scenic country? It is hard to pick a favorite, but that large fall is very beautiful...

Damn Brit · 07-09-2009, 12:46 PM

Norway is so photogenic, good stuff Adam.
I do pine for the fjords, did you see any Norwegian Blue Parrots while you were there?

Nope

Didn't have a lens for birding on me, either. The only birds I really saw were pengiuns at the aquarium near Aalesund.

Thanks for all the comments, guys!

Don't know about that, but don't you just admire Slartibartfast's handywork

Nice series BTW Adam

Love all of them Adam, but number 9 made me want to back up I don't do heights. And I thought, man, that's a long way down.

Jimbo · 07-09-2009, 04:52 PM

They're all good. couldn't just pick one! JIM

They do have lovely plumage.

Adam, great pictures. Makes me homesick.

I'm from Sweden, but it's close enough...
