Traveling around the Lofoten Islands in northern Norway during winter was one thing I wanted to do for a long time. Seeing those rough snow covered peaks under the northern lights is a stunning experience. Of course, not everything did go as planned, some spot we were looking forward to bisiting were impossible to reach because of all the snow. Other times the weather was so bad, it was hard just walking a few meters in the harsh wind. However this was one of my best landscape photography trips by far so let me show you a few of our highlights.

Wow. Senja and Lofoten in 4 days?? Including the 10 hour drive from Tromsø to Å. Worldrecord. At least you had a stunning sunrise with a stunning photo at Hamnoy bridge. Congrats.

My second home Christian. My (English) Son lives on Hadsel Island (which is the the 'Gateway' to The Lofoten [A10]) with his Norwegian wife and our wonderful family. On a personal level, I thank you for these gorgeous images and the linking videos. I have saved this video as a reminder of the beauty of the area which - thankfully - I visit every year.

Thank you so much Mike! Everything Along the A10 is soooooo insanely beautiful, hope I can get back there in the summer time

Man.. Lofoten in the winter is spectacularly beautiful. I'd absolutely love to go there someday! Stunning work.

It really is, never in my life saw sooo much snow, hope to get back there in winter in the future!

Hallo Christian, ich habe mit Begeisterung dein Video angeschaut, da ich mit einem Kollegen im Juni 2022 auch eine Fotoreise auf die Lofoten unternehme, kommen mir deine Tipps sehr gelegen, auch wenn es bei mir Sommer ist ;-))) LG

[@ThePhlogPhotography]

Das freut mich sehr zu hören! Lofoten im Sommer ist wunderschön, ich hoffe ihr habt eine tolle Zeit vor Ort und könnt ein paar tolle Fotos machen!

[@Chittudesai]

Big fan of your post processing videos. What were your travel dates?

[@ThePhlogPhotography]

Thank you so much! We were in norway in the last week of february in 2022

[@stigfloberghagenphotography]

Great video. Going to Lofoten in july. Just a tech question, why do you use f stop 18 in that Hamnøy bridge photo? And Å is pronounced a bit like the O in Wow or "Ou" 😅

[@FMTrema]

Just to nitpick, it's pronounced like the o in "stock", [o:]. We went there a few years back, and it was packed with tourists, even in mid-August. If you're driving, the locals can be a bit unwelcoming in traffic. Felt like they saw our foreign plate and drove intentionally in the middle of the road. My impression was that Lofoten is a nice place, but way overhyped considering that there are plenty of beautiful places in Norway.

[@ThePhlogPhotography]

I knew it was wrong haha! :D Not sure why I used f/18 in that case, but I know the tokina lens I used there produces good quality with that aperture, so that might have been the reason :-)

[@ThePhlogPhotography]

I'll try to remember how to pronounce that correctly, thank you! I've been there once in late September and now in mid february, always only a few tourists around but of course its off-season. I agree with the traffic, it can get really wild sometimes on those tiny roads haha. Also, I agree Norway has A TON of beautiful places, I would loooove to travel the whole country, but thats not possible to do in one week. The great thing about the Lofoten is, there are soooo many top photo spots packed in one small area, you will just get more good photos from a short trip there

[@sliiahn]

Hallo Christian, vielen Dank für das Video! Da ich im Juli nahezu die gleiche Reise mache, kommt mir das super gelegen. Eine Frage hätte ich: sind die angegebenen Brennweiten auf Vollformat umgerechnet?

[@ThePhlogPhotography]

Hey, vielen Dank für das Kommentar! Die Brennweite n sind alle an vollformat gemessen :-) Sommet in Norwegen ist traumhaft, ich wünsche dir / euch eine schöne Zeit dort oben!!

[@lebnen13-xx6ed]

How long would it took you from Senja to Lofoten if you wouldn't have missed the ferry ? What ferry is it ? Thank you!

[@ThePhlogPhotography]

I think it would have been something like 6 hours maybe. The ferry is somewhere in the top left of senja if I remember correctly (cant look it up right now unfortunately)

[@lohikarhu734]

it's " Oh"

[@twiendlocha]

What month was this?

[@ThePhlogPhotography]

This was in february

[@soamjena]

Which month had you visited ?

[@ThePhlogPhotography]

This was in February

[@soamjena]

Ok I’m planning to go in April. I hope roads are open

[@ThePhlogPhotography]

Roads should be open, we didnt run into any closed ones when we were there! They might still be icey if the weather is bad, but with spiked wheels its not a problem
