Intro

Lofoten is known for a distinctive scenery with dramatic mountains and peaks, open sea and sheltered bays, beaches and untouched lands. The Lofoten Islands are draped across the turbulent waters of the Norwegian Sea, far above the Arctic Circle. This rare wilderness outpost offers a breathtaking landscape of majestic mountains, deep fjords and a multi complex set of islands, many of them connected via bridge or causeway. If you are seeking an unforgettable photographic experience, Lofoten will definitely not let you down.

Between the mainland and the Lofoten lies the open Vestfjord. The archipelago is known for its exceptional natural beauty, the picturesque fishing settlements, the Rorbu (fishermen's cottages) and the stockfish. Due to the Golf Stream the climate is mild, despite the latitude north of the Arctic Circle. Between May 25 and July 17 you can experience the Midnight Sun, and from early May the nights are bright.

The tourist season begins in summer – typically June till August – with a major number of visitors. Yet, it is the other seasons that offer the most in terms of experience. Only then you can truly see the beauty of this wild and exotic corner of the Earth.

We chose the winter months because the mood of the place and the light touching every part of the scene are out of this world.

Info

Pricing £ € $

The cost for this tour is £2495 GBP or €2895 EUR or $3395 USD per person, depending on the currency you choose and based on single occupancy (no room sharing). A deposit of £500 or €600 or $700 is required to book your space. The outstanding balance will be requested 12 weeks before the tour date.

Duration

The tour starts in the evening of Friday 07 February 2020 and ends on Friday 14 February 2020.

Group Size ☺☺☺☺☺

The group size for this tour is limited to five people. Due to its small size group, this photo tour is designed with inspiration in mind, allowing plenty of time for individual attention by the tutor, making sure you photograph the area under the best light and the best time of day, under the best tuition possible.

Transportation ✈

All transportation in Lofoten will be in a comfortable vehicle (included in the price). Meeting with all participants will commence at Leknes airport during a designated time. If you arrive or depart at a different time or date, you will need to make your own way to the hotel. Don't worry though, the hotel is only 5 minutes from the airport.

Equipment requirements

Camera and lenses

cameraPlease make sure you know how to use your camera or at least the basic functions – make sure you bring the camera's manual along with you. Focal length of wide angle to 300mm will be required.

Tripod

tripod-layerA sturdy tripod is strongly recommended. If you need advice on purchasing a tripod, we recommend the Manfrotto 055 or similar. If you own a low budget light aluminium tripod such as Jessops and you are wondering if it is good enough, no, it is not. It will not allow you to trust your gear on it and it will not allow us to help you with tuition.

ND Grad Filters

filtersNeutral Density Graduated filters are highly recommended for balancing exposure difference between land and sky. We recommend a 1.5 stop hard and a 3 stop soft (if you are just starting with filters). Full instruction can be given during the workshop to help you with the correct use of filters.

ND Filter (optional)

To get the very best out of your images and the locations, we suggest that you bring a good Neutral Density filter with you such as the Lee Little Stopper or Big Stopper or the Singh-Ray Vari-ND filter for long exposures.

Shutter Release Cable

You will need one for longer than 30 seconds exposures.

Clothing

Comfortable walking boots as well as warm and weatherproof clothing is a must as the weather can be unpredictable, with temperatures between -12C +3C ☀ ☁ ❄. We also encourage you to bring some digital files of your previous work as there might be opportunities to discuss your portfolio and supply you with beneficial feedback.

Insurance

Although all 'Inspiring Photography Workshops' clients are covered by our public liability insurance, we recommend that you take your own travel insurance also.

Post Processing

This photo workshop does not offer post processing tuition, please see here for further details.
