I don't know if it's a money thing but I actually was able to buy a plane ticket to Norway for £5. That's so cheap! Convert it if it's not your currency.

Make sure you visit between November and February if you want to see views like this one everywhere. This was shot in Porsgrunn (around 3 hour drive away from the centre of Oslo).

I'll be sure to do that! I have a friend in Oslo that I wouldn't mind visiting. Some time also, I'd like to check out Iceland. So much beauty on that island. Ugh, so many places, so little time!

It feels like there's not much time, but really... if we use it wisely, there's loads of time. Going to Norway this October so feel free to watch if you wanna check those shots out! It should be very snowy.

Sounds good, I'll add you to the watch list! I just moved back to the US midwest from the Arizona desert so I'm looking forward to getting some nice winter shots this winter as well!

It's actually a fjord. If you rode a boat from there, it would lead to the ocean. Nice, right? In the winter, it completely freezes over and people go for walks on it. I was meant to do that at Christmas but it got to -5 degrees celsius which is too hot to walk on it.

BlueNostal In reply to FiaDahl [2011-07-01 10:59:33 +0000 UTC]

I love to see photos of Norway(one of my favorite Classical composers is Edvard Grieg---You must rent the video movie of Griegs' life titled "Song of Norway). It's a classic if you can find it...
Goo[link] The composition and just the right amount of lighting in this photo..., but Fia..., always remember to print your sunset shots a little lighter because if someone buys a print..., it'll print just right. On the ones that are photographed in low light(such as this one), I always do a 4X6 test print first...

I don't sell prints. I'm glad you like it, thanks so much. ^_^ I love Grieg too and I'll totally watch the film. I'm brazilian and norwegian so anything to do with either is something I know I'll adore and appreciate. I didn't even edit this photo, I just posted it as soon as I joined because I wanted to show people something. I don't think anyone would be interested in buying prints from me anyway. I don't even know how the whole prints thing works on here.

airlux27 In reply to FiaDahl [2011-06-30 00:35:39 +0000 UTC]

Not too much to say about prints, just that dark always prints darker than it looks(shadowed areas mostly). Fia, people are going to buy your prints maybe. I have a brand new $75.00 Hewlitt Packard aio printer(HP Deskjet F4480) just for testing color, density, and highlighted areas in a photo. However, if you don't care to concentrate on selling your prints right now, you don't have to bother with printing them yourself. However, the rewards are great when you do 8 1/2 X 11" prints and install them in 11X14 frames and give them out as gifts...(I personally have bought one large print from a D'artist which came to about $30.00). I would buy your Norwegian Sunset one in a heart beat but I think it'll print down and be too dark. Only way to know is to print a sample guide and that should tell you about what you want to know!!! Anyways, a basic rule to remember is black and shadowed areas mostly print down...
Incidently, the Norwegians are known for having the most beautiful voices in the world!!!
Uh, what city in UK were you born in? Just curious...

I was born in Botafogo in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I moved to England when I was 10. No english blood at all, it's just this is my home. My dad lives in Norway with my brother and my mum lives in Brazil. I might look into prints some point this year. Concentrating on finishing writing my album this summer so I can take it into the studio in September. Music is my primary passion. Photography is a hobby but it would be so cool if I was capable of taking it further than that. What did you think of my voice? And how many prints have you sold on dA?

Fia, I wrote a note to you in case you havent't spotted it yet, just click on "note."
Ummm, I've sold one print thus far but I have to admit I'm really lazy and haven't worked my portfolio all that much!!!
