    If you can get it where you are, Night nurse medicine, knocks you out, you sleep undisturbed by any coughing through the night and wake up feeling that bit better. Gorgeous images you've captured here, looks so magical.

    Great you had good weather and a nice experience. Similarly, we were blown away. Constant dynamic evolving beauty. Ran into some super rude Italian photography tours though. Especially when it came to photographing the northern lights and night photography. Great place to teach etiquette as well. Local buddy has also said there's a huge issue with tourists and some photographers camping on the beaches and leaving trash/bio waste. Good reminder for folks to remember to be respectful of the landscape, location, and others around. Nice overview of the classics =)

    • @BrendanvanSon
      @BrendanvanSon  Před 5 lety

      Our first shoot there was a really rude Italian group. They followed me around stealing my compositions and then getting mad at me for waiting for the right conditions. I was worried it was going to be like that the whole trip. Thankfully, we didn't see them again after that

    • @AlexBerger
      @AlexBerger Před 5 lety

      @@BrendanvanSon Definitely a plague. Had the tour leader lead them right in front of me on the beach at night, look at me, then set up. Worth noting there was an abundance of space to either side, all around, etc. - also the general torch usage at night with no concern for anyone nearby drove me nuts. Luckily even at peak there were probably only 8 folks on the bridge. Beaches were a bit different. But even at the Dragon's eye, waited it out in a snow storm but were only a total of 6 of us on the beach. Definitely luck of the draw.
      There's another red house which is an interesting composition just up the road between the yellow buildings and the bridge to the reds. If you look at it from the shed parking lot, you'll get a nice view of a house and mountain with moderate light (67.9415332,13.1189602) it also points almost north. Might make a good northern lights shot.

    Was in Lofted 5 days and left one day before you arrived. Great pics. One thing though - I dont think long exposures does the rough and wild waters of Lofoten justice.

    • @BrendanvanSon

    Very interesting to contrast the "low-altitude" compositions in this video with the ones in Alex Nail's recent Lofoten videos from the mountaintops in the area. Worth checking out (if you can do a hike with 800m of ascent!)

    I was wondering, I'd love to hear your insights on how you make plans for media events (ITB etc) for getting work. I attended my first one in Dublin a few weeks back and while it was all very positive with the pitches etc I am still to hear from them, do you have a grace period of time before reaching out to them to follow up. It would be great to hear your insights to that whole world, it can be quite daunting. Cheers :) (i am reposting this question from an older video) :)
