I went to Norway for 2 hours of Photography

[@AmorLucisPhotography]

Congratulations on reaching 100k subscribers! I love your passion and for bringing your *self*, not just your camera and skills, to the vlogs. It's why I watch your vlogs. May 200k roll on soon.

[@Firstmanphotography]

Thanks Martin. Very kind.

[@Sunrazor]

I love Norway. And I live in Sweden. It's simply fantastic.

[@glacieractivity]

Great to see you embrace our rugged little place up here - You communicate your joy of the natural world so wonderful Next spring - skip over to Bergen and get a rental car to Hardanger or Sogn and Fjordane around mid may when the apple trees are in full blooming and the birch is going bonkers green down by the fiords, while the spring snow still is dressing the mountains 1200-2000 meters above. That is when the brain goes "ding-dong plonkers" with geometry and seasons folding up on each other.

[@stigfloberghagenphotography]

Nice and very short visit to Norway 👍🙂

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

It is on my list of places to see visit and photograph. You did well to get the camera still on the little manfrotto great mountains

[@owenjones9608]

Gorgeous shots, Adam. I think you'd really like Norway's North Cape.

[@artyomandreev1890]

Great video, Adam! I really enjoy your work, but this video was inspiring in particular. I persoanlly live in the northern parts of Norway myself (Bodø), and it was very interesting to see how you tackled a typical "northern-Norway scene" in terms of compositions. I find the nature to be absoluletly stunning up here, and im sure you can agree on that :) But i find it difficult to vary my compositions. It usually boiles down to mountains in the background, sea in the middle, and some rocks in the foreground, much like the ones you showed in this video. While they are great pictures, you kind of get tired of the same type of composition after a while (for me at least). Anyways, this video still definitly gave me some inspiration, so thank you for that! I would absolutely love to see which photos you could come up with after a week in Norway! Perhaps you will return here some day? :) I would gladly guide you around the local area, or even Lofoten which is only 4 hours away (ferry) from my city ;)

[@donprice8925]

I am so fortunate to live in Norway. It really is a wonderful place. I hope you get an opportunity to come back and capture some more of it.

[@andysheridan340]

I went to the North of Norway for work about 10 years ago, I got some great photos, and the light was amazing. I did see a sunset at 10PM over the Norwegian sea.

[@finnlarsen7279]

Next time you visit Norway, you have to go to Jotunheimen....take a google search on it. September is fantastic up there, and on the west side of Jotunheimen you have Sognefjorden that are 200km long. You don't belive it before you see it....its amazing. Regards from Finn in Norway.

[@carlreid4161]

Finn Larsen thanks Finn I’m picking up heaps of places for my visit next year 👍😃🇳🇴🇫🇮🇦🇺✈️

[@TheCris1717]

You are such a inspiration and the reason I’m going to buy a camera and try it out my self. Thanks for your content

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

Huge congratulations!! A remarkable 100,000!! All the hard work and videos like this is why you deserve it Adam. Well done indeed!! 👌👍 all the best to you.

[@Firstmanphotography]

Thanks buddy. Appreciate it.

[@Noealz]

Glad to see you out and about friend, hope your taking care of your vision. And grats you are almost at 1k - must feel pretty good :)

[@carlreid4161]

Congratulations Adam on getting to 100k subscribers I watched your vlog last night in Norway and you were only 20 or so from hitting your landmark and this morning down under when I woke boom! Congrats again Adam thoroughly deserved pal!

[@1spitfirepilot]

Very enjoyable. I think the third shot - with the foreground rock - was the stand out image.

[@CountMiffed]

How did you know the exposure on the first shot needed to be 1:43 seconds? That’s very specific. Great vid.

[@Firstmanphotography]

I used an app called Photopills to work it out from the test exposure. I have featured it on several other videos so skipped over it on this one.

[@CountMiffed]

First Man Photography thanks I will check it out.

[@katiemayhall354]

Another top draw video with some fantastic photos.

[@scotty4418]

Great images and must have been hard leaving a beautiful location when your time was limited

[@dlphotodlphoto1098]

Thanks for sharing your limited time with us the viewers , wonderful place and as always you show us exactly what your doing and where you are so we get a great feeling of being there with you just brilliant .

[@jefffiles9209]

So much beautiful landscape to see, framing the right scene must be tricky, but hey you cracked it. Wonderful wide shot, but love the B&W's. Missed you on the Nerds!

[@alan1111q]

Thanks for sharing.Loved it

[@BJJandBS]

The mainr eason i went mirrorless was my now ability to see the image through my 9 stop filter for these types of shots. No more having to take it off and put it back on to adjust focus. Just use focus peaking and its awesome.

[@beeniesmotorbike2454]

I'm planing to go to norway in 2 years il be going on my motorbike now this is amazing i love travelling u cant wait to get my camra there wow beautiful amazing fantastic you have inspired me so much thank you wow

[@VoGusProspecting]

I live in Australia, I could drive for a full 3 days and still be in NSW lol. Great video mate.

[@mauriceaustin3657]

Thank you very much. I really like how you compose the picture and then describe what your settings are and what you are going to chance them to. I know each camera is different but this at least gives me ideas of what needs to happen when I hit the field. This helps me so much learning photography. New subscriber and Instagram follower

[@sjedouglas]

Enjoyed watching that. As soon as I saw the first scene, I knew a long exposure would make it into something great and again on the second scene, when I saw that big rock behind you, I knew you'd have to make a feature of it. The comparable shapes work so well.

[@edward3475]

There you go. 100K.

[@Firstmanphotography]

Ha. Thanks mate.

[@stevemarson9665]

******* CONGRATULATIONS ON 100K SUBSCRIBERS ! *******

[@Firstmanphotography]

Thanks buddy.

[@johnwaters4566]

You always take amazing photos! So Awsome man.

[@clintwoosley9512]

Beautiful images! 100k! Congratulations!!! You do fantastic work!

[@ryans_life]

Stunning country and shots Adam. Would look stunning as prints. Also, congrats on 100K mate. Safe travels.

[@joonochakma2823]

Amazing place and beautiful pictures. keep it up👍

[@sean-bilodeau]

What a beautiful location Adam! I'd love to visit Norway some day. Loved the video and the images, keep it up!

[@Hangs4Fun]

50 more to 100k!!! Congrats Adam, its content like this that got you here.. be safe out there and have a great day!

[@LordArioh]

I live in Norway for about 10 years now and don't even bother with those landscapes, they're pretty much anywhere you go. usually 2 hours is not even enough to get to a good spot for real landscape photography. If you ever come across Odda, there are more than 6 main hiking trails in every direction, plus extra ones, blue glacier Folgefonna, waterfalls, mountain lakes, fjords, mountains ofc, forests, all kind of rivers, famous TrollTunga any landscape photographer dream. Highly recommend.

[@donnydefenders]

Wow. Absolutely stunning. Some fantastic photos. Somewhere I would love to visit myself at some time.

[@MrCochise71]

Simply beautiful. Hope you're feeling great my friend.

[@carlreid4161]

Marvellous Adam you managed to convey the far Norge in two hours that’s amazing and you grabbed some wonderful shots! Your enthusiasm shines through also, I would have been sad myself with such a small time frame and surrounded by magnificent scenery but it didn’t deter your good self well done chap 👍😃🇳🇴🇫🇮✈️👌

[@philpetrie]

Another super video Adam , could you please tell us / me what 10 and 16 stop filters you are using , the look the business and being screw on little or no chance of any light leak , thank you

[@Firstmanphotography]

Yes sure. The 16 stop is a Formatt Hitech Firecrest. Its superb. The 10 stop is made by a German company called B&W. Its not the best filter in the world although it's pretty old now. The better ones like my six stop have a better coating that prevents a colour cast being created.

[@philpetrie6346]

@@Firstmanphotography thank you

[@carlreid4161]

First Man Photography thanks for the info re filters Adam and Phil for asking

[@chilley1703]

Love the place. Welcome back later.

[@orgue3461]

Great vid again Adam - thank you! Also very realistic if, like me, you're about to travel to a place you don't know & will have limitations on the time available to explore & set up for shots. Love your channel, man!

[@davidmatthews631]

Beautiful. If you can’t make it to Norway there’s a Norwegian author who writes about old Norway. Growth of the Soil is 13 hours long (KZbin) but is beautiful for its language. Knut Hamsun. Thanks for the tutorials Adam.

[@NarroginRick]

Thanks mate , enjoyed this indeed , cheers

[@bh6279]

awesome work Adam

[@andychattaway5620]

Stunning location, shame about the light but I bet you will return one day. Loved your passion when you viewed your images on the cameras LCD. 👍

[@mohsinkamal8829]

I love your work bro

[@Firstmanphotography]

Appreciate it.

[@KonradKealeysIreland]

Great video mate 👌👍☘️

[@liborkrupica5686]

Adam, really nice images ..... Perhaps you will come back in the future

[@tigeroye]

Would love to know where in norway it was. The landscape is so fantastic up there.

[@tegser]

🤘🏻🥳🥳👍🏼 100k..congratulations

[@Firstmanphotography]

Thanks Terry.

[@MF.Productions]

It's amazing the places you can get to on a pushbike ;)

[@Enrique-the-photographer]

Very nice and inspiring video. BTW congrats on the UEFA.

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Nice video Adam! Thanks for sharing it with us.👌👍😎JP

[@fragoncr]

Hi, nice video!!!, what is the brand of your gloves? The next year I will going to Norway and Finland, thanks!!!

[@dennisc1719]

you made the most of it considering the rush you had, nice one. what 17 40 lens do you have Adam.

[@michalstoch]

So beautiful there ❤

[@eirikjarlmikkelborg537]

Familiar views! 🤩

[@richieflesfadar6893]

Haha that's nuthin..... i drove a 8500km round trip to photograph sumthin that lasted 2.5 minutes... total solar eclipse in Cairns Australia back in 2012 :P

[@Firstmanphotography]

Wow. Did you get the shot?

[@garystone6583]

That's some stunning landscapes Another great video but looking at the area a week wouldn't do it justice

[@kilerdz9044]

Hi, I'm following you from 🇩🇿 ❤️ I want to ask you if Canon200d is good for me as a beginner in photographic photography and is its original lens useful for photography of nature and portraiture note or should buy a lens 50mm And thanks my greetings

[@pizdamatii5001]

great video! wish you had more time to spend there. just out of curiosity, shat brand of ND filters do you use? are the cheap ones any good or is it only the expensive ones that atre truly neutral density?

[@tommyandersson7093]

Nice clip Adam, but where exactly is this? Whats the location called?

[@alexmarnoch870]

Love the drone footage. More please :)

[@CJamesPhoto]

Great stuff mate! where exactly were you? i was up in Alta just a couple weeks ago and it has a similar look :)

[@RomanLesovoi]

why you don't shot clouds on shot time and water on long and don't compose in one shot?

[@shubhamloshali95]

You're the best sir 😎

[@Firstmanphotography]

Wow. Thanks.

[@mohsinkamal8829]

Awsome bro

[@Firstmanphotography]

Thanks mate.

[@kingkenny334]

I ❤️ Norway.

[@dennisc1719]

sorry i meant 24 70 lens.

[@Firstmanphotography]

Tamron 24-70. The old one. I've felt no need to replace it yet as it still does a great job.

[@JohnPaul-ii]

I forecast we will be seeing more of Norway 🇳🇴 again in the future .

[@jh5401]

This would be so cool on TV

[@walterreil7721]

Absolutely beautiful! In such grand country, how do you keep from stopping every 5 minutes as more and more fantastic scenes come into view? This must be an awfully frustrating to have so much spectacular scenery around you. Just too much to see and too little time.

[@LordArioh]

when you're born here or living for 5+ years all of this becomes routine. You start getting excited seeing a field)

[@finemmerson9117]

What tripod do you use?

[@derekosborn]

Thank you for not shying away from a midday photo shoot. Too many of us feel constrained to a mere two hours or so a day. Silly.

[@NE-Media.inc.]

first comment :) keep up the great work! I find you inspiring! :)

[@Firstmanphotography]

Nice. Thanks buddy.

[@mikecornwall2943]

Having lived the last 32 years in Norway i must admit we take the scenery for granted.

[@NotFinancialAdvice]

Remember me... I was a fan "before" you hit 100k subscribers and got all famous and shit. :)

[@chrisbullett1513]

Shame about the time constraints, great images still!

[@Eti1968]

Well done, this is the way hobbyists have to do it when they are unable to go at sunset :-)

[@Rallybear]

Welcome to my homecountry even it was a quick visit 😊

[@justinholding02]

Beautiful location. Pity you couldn't have stayed longer to get some nicer light

[@robertwahlross3348]

Welcome to my country :) Very nice images!

[@captainmegamike]

Perfect...thanks for the weekly motivation! I've learned a ton! Keep up the great work! @captainmegamike on IG cheers🍻

[@michaelscott1778]

all you had was 2 hours and you shot in one location. I'd be huffin it man, going to different locations.

[@seanfox2346]

Bulb without a release... hmm

[@maxpower6918]

Nope, it's just not happening for you is it. The light shining on the beach rock field was the photo to take. Perhaps incorporating the large rock. It's bland and doesn't pop. They are just 'tourist' pics the sort they quickly snap and jump back on the bus. Look mate...you know it you're not stupid. Seems to me your taking pics for the sake of taking pics and not taking time out to think about it.

[@cedarcanoe]

2 hours only, what a shame

[@duxbury2002]

Why are KZbin photographers obsessed with filming themselves walking in and out of shot? As soon as this happens in any video, I’m off.

[@haukebendt8186]

You really flew there for 2 hours? Seems if flights are way to cheap. Shouldn’t landscape photographers do care about nature a bit more?

[@Firstmanphotography]

Nope. I drove from Finland where I was working for the week. This channel is not a place for a discussion around the politics of flying or an individuals responsibility towards the environment. If we ever bump into one another I shall happily share my opinions with you.
