This photo is taken in Trollheimen. I know it sounds like Troll hymen, but bear with me. It translates into Troll Home or Home of Trolls and rightfully so - it is a big national park, in the middle of Norway and has a lot of mountains rising tall, valleys, waterfalls, and lakes. Unlike places such as Lofoten which are more known and popular, Trollheimen is harder to reach and stay in as it is a broader and wilder area. In this location I stayed in a nearby cabin with some friends. We went skiing as it is the only way you can reach this location during winter from a parking space around 12 kms away, approximately.
Anyway, I took the photo during an unexpected sunset, when the whole evening was grey and dull, but during the last moments before the sun set there was an opening in the sky, and everything suddenly just bloomed. Couldn't believe my eyes and through sheer enthusiasm I was sliding across this ice (had to throw off my skis, they obviously don't handle ice well) looking for a fitting foreground. Luckily I made it in time, as the sunset vanished after ten minutes or so.
Technical info: 28mm, ƒ/16, 1s, ISO 125. Canon 5D Mark II, on a tripod. I think that is about it, but just ask if you have any questions or are wondering about the area! And lastly, if anyone's interested in more of the same kind of photography, feel free to check out my instagram.
