Mountain Landscapes I, a photo from Sor-Trondelag, South

Photographer's Note

Last week-end I took advantage of the most wonderful weather, brought my camera and went to a mountain area in Central Norway. This is a place with lots of photo opportunities and I will bring a few of the images in the days to come, starting here with a view of my end point Lake Samsjøen. This lake is located about 15 km from where I started in the valley.

There is nothing dramatic in this landscape, nothing like the mountains in the western part of Norway. On the contrary, here we have slowly rolling hills with lakes and ponds scattered all over, connected by small rivers and creeks…

Due to the northern location the vegetation is quite scarce, in spite the altitude is only around 1000 m. Mountain birch and pine are the most common of trees, some fir can also be found.

Hello Pablo,
great landscape with warm, nice colours and great atmosphere caused by the light you've captured. As Shailendra says, I also like the layers impression caused by the cloudds and sky.
Nice work!

Hi Pablo,
Well composed with good foreground lead-in and framing. The distant rolling landscape of the mountains is well seen and the sharpness level is just right. What I like most about the shot however is the tonality of the sky. The hues and layers of the sky save the scene from being dominated by the two hues of green and blue. Very well captured and presented.

Today no church,but a beautiful landscape and a good composition.The light makes a verry nice green of the vegetation and the cloud line paralel to the horizon looks nice.

Hi Pablo.

Nice landscape. When I think in Norway, I only think in ice and cold and this pictures discovers me a different Norway.

Good colours & lights.

Hi Pablo, I am a fan of northern landscapes, with these pines and lakes (I was born in the north of Russia, the countryside is pretty much the same there). Very good composition here, with this bent pine ans a small island or pennisula with an old house and some tents.

Cheers

Hi Pablo, Looks like a good place to visit. The POV gives a good view of the pice of land jutting out like that, and water both sides adds interest. Good clarity and notes. Well portrayed. Murray.

oochappan (4880) 2006-07-23 22:28

Hi Pablo
awell framed shot on several plans, along the front plan green to see the trees in the middle of this lake up to the slight misty mountains. These horizontal clouds gives a strong pano feel. Very fine colotones.

A nice and pleasant scene and one that is quite relaxing. I like the composition with the foreground interest captured by the foliage and the trees in the distance to give some perspective. Nicely done.

kittyhawk (1802) 2006-07-24 14:32

Hei Pablo,

This is a wonderfull scene, I really like the landscape. Very nice colors and detail. I must admit that most of the time I drive in our mountains, I just drive by, and stop to shoot a photo or two. I rarely ever hike. This looks like a good reason for me to go hiking more often. Thank you for sharing and for the inspiration.

Hej Pablo,
Wonderful view! Such a lovely and tranquil landscape. The nature is beautiful and the light very nice as well. I like the clouds too, good capture and thanks for sharing!

riclopes (35577) 2006-07-24 16:14

Hi Pablo,
I'm glad to know that you went for a photograph hunting. Very good shot for a not dramatic landscape. You chose well the POV and there's a nice interplay bettween the three plans of depth that are seen here. No strong blue sky, but still a very beautiful one, with that stripe of clouds in the midle. It seems to be a very nice place for treking.
Greetings,
Ricardo

plimrn (21344) 2006-07-24 17:43

Hi Pablo, lovely mountainscape, it reminds me of our wilderness over here. Almost the same.

Nice composition and lovely colours. Good contrast too.

I love to follow your work in Norway, I love Scandinavia and I wish to go one day.

Take care, Yan :)

Hi Pablo,
Sometimes it is better to take a break from the usual routine and I can see that from your posts of architectures and buildings, you have taken a welcome break to the nature! A lovely landscape very well captured. The sky is almost looking like a drawing. A good framing too.
Best regards
Sayan

kermit350 (9016) 2006-07-25 12:44

Hello Pablo, this sight is idyllic and a pleasure for the eyes, that nature is beautiful especially when the photographer is able to perceive and restore similar beauty, and this brightness which bores the clouds is époustouflante of beauty,It is your pastel are very harmonious, for a light considered incomparable under such latitudes, sincerely

markstaples (15670) 2006-07-25 15:25

A superb sky which adds to this nice composition where the trees frame this little island/piece of land. Nicely done.
Best wishes

feather (51130) 2006-07-25 17:53

A very attractive photo well constructed with the foreground bushes almost framing the little island in the lake. The sharpness and focus are exemplary. You also show we don't have to have a blue sky to create the perfect landscape; the grey tones are very attractive.
Kath

edal (6804) 2006-07-25 18:25

Hi Pablo!
Your Northern landscape tells us a lot about your beautiful country. I like these scarce trees - they remind me our mountains at an altitude ot 2000 meters. The lakes too. But take larger areas.
Thanks!
Anton

Hi Pablo,

Nice image of the lake, strong sharp elements in the trees, nice soft elements in those clouds. Nice afternoon colours. In all,
a lovely landscape.

take care, Aleks

kiwi_explorer (12209) 2006-07-26 16:12

Hi Pabs,
I noticed that Norway's scenery is very much the same as New Zealand ... both got clean/green image and low population. This lake must be also good for trout fishing.
You've composed this beautiful sight very well and the colour quality is very sharp. I noticed that you even captured that very slight pinkish sky. Excellent shot.
Cheers,
Renier

aloyho (6798) 2006-08-24 2:52

Hi Pablo,
This is an interesting break from the nice blue sky of Norway which I always admired. The horizontal clouds add to the peace and calm of the place and must be a luxury to live on that piece of land surrounded by water. A nice composition and I like the fact that it encourages me to search for elements of interest. Well done!! Have a nice day.

Lovely view to the lake, especially to this little peninsula with little houses. I can imagine how peaceful and silent is there. This must look as a fairy tale spot when everythig is covered with snow :)

Hello Pablo,

What a pleasure it is to roam through your gallery! When I saw this photo as a thumbnail, I thought it migh be the view from Grieg's House near Bergen, it was not. But it was another view of the Suburb of Paradise. Beautifully composed and simple shot, but with a master touch.

Warm regards,
Bulent

UlfE (14641) 2007-11-21 13:41

Hei Pablo,

A very attractive shot. Excellent sharpness and colours. There is a great feeling of precence. This created by the foreground where you sort of look at the lake and the tongue of land in the middle over the bushes and between the trees. An excellent job!

Cheers,
