Stokksnes is famous for its calm reflections and mirror-like water beneath the mountains.

But the day I arrived, the wind was so strong that the landscape felt completely different — darker, wilder, and almost cinematic.

No reflections that day, but honestly… I kind of loved it this way too.

Really struggling with post processing landscape photography. Its a try and error process. Wondering if anyone has taken a post processing course specifically geared towards landscape photography?

Nearly called this flight a waste. Standing on the shore of a high lake, about 2,680 m up, with the Avata360 out over open water. Slow straight drift, no orbit. The sky was just gray mush for most of it, until one gap opened in the clouds for maybe ten seconds and the far mountain caught the only sun I saw all morning. Reframed the 360 footage after and pulled this still. Color is basically as shot.

Dawn over the buttes

I like to travel a lot and would like to have some amazing photos to take home. Something that really captures to vastness and beauty I am seeing. But where to start? Do you get a camera first or follow a course? Which camera? An online course or an in person course? How do I know it is a good course?

These photos were taken on my last trip to Iceland with just an iPhone. So you have an idea of my barely there skills and what my starting point is.

Cold wind, frozen fingers, and absolutely worth it.
Shot during a quiet night near Kirkjufell, Iceland.

I've been working on my photography skills by visiting places around my area that are drivable so I can learn what a good photo is and is not.

Feeling solid about this photo, the morning was cold, but well worth it.

What would you change in the edit?

Taken one year ago in Barmera South Australia. I initially wrote this photo off, but upon reviewing it I see I passed on a gem. I tend to avoid blue hour photos, I just always struggle to get the colours right, so I edited the golden hour images from the shoot and left this one untouched. But with a fresh set of eyes I see that this is a great shot that is better than the other in the set!

Taken on my Sony A7CR and Tamron 28-75mm f2.8.

Spent the night filming the northern lights in Iceland and put together a short 70-second clip from that experience.
The movement and colors looked even more surreal in real life.
