Norway 2018

I spent a month in Norway. The Oslo Airport hotel was a base of sorts. From there, I flew to The Lofoten and back, and took one of the many available Norway in a Nutshell railway/road/fjord tours to Bergen and back, and flew to Svalbard for my journey into the Arctic Ocean in search of polar bears. I was grateful for dark nights when I returned to Oslo from that expedition. 

A month in Norway with so many picturesque shooting locations will fill your memory cards and computer with images. Even with massive culling. So ... this is a big preso/video.



I toured Svalbard and the Arctic Ocean on the M/S Origo with Wildphoto (Longyearbyen).

I toured The Lofoten with 68 North / Cody Duncan (Lofoten).

I snuck in a quick tour of the countryside and Fjords with Norway in a Nutshell.

And I made a day trip from Longyearbyen to the abandoned Russian mining city of Pyramiden.

The Shoebox for Norway 2018

So many photos. Processing has begun. The trip has a few major segments.

1. The Lofoten (a chain of islands that peels west from the mainland into the northern Atlantic ocean)
2. Oslo, the Fjords, and Bergen
3. Svalbard and the Sea Ice

As I cull the keepers from the riff raff and apply some post-processing and cropping, the results of that first-order filter get tossed into The Shoebox.
