What an amazing place, great light and composition, definitely looks to cold for me

It's a different world, isn't it...
I did the vote of thanks at the talk on Norway on Monday. I recalled that when I was working the office divided into two camps. Most of the staff spent their summer holiday beside a pool at a hotel on the Med. They used to send postcards with a picture of the hotel, I don't think they ever moved outside it.
Then there was Pauline the typist and me. Pauline's dream was Antarctica, mine is Siberia and Lake Baikal in winter.
This is my sort of holiday.

The light, or relative lack of it, makes this shot so special, Ann: must be odd living for months in an area that never sees the sun ( mind you that's a bit like here this winter).
The lights shining in the gloom makes for such an interesting image.
And what an experience just being there.

This is stunning Ann, looks more like a twilight capture rather than a mid morning, the light is superb, for hand held very sharp.

Strange light indeed but beautifully captured with this fine shot.
Even the red looks cold in that light!
Stunning image with so much to see.

Love this Ann, and sorry to be boring, but I just have to give my award for this one.

Noticed a few comments re strange light Ann. Shooting into that snow the camera would have closed down - and I see you do not have a + compensation on exposure settings. I like the lights sprinkled everywhere in the image and it captures the coldness but a little underexposed I feel.

A beautiful pic captured.

The light really is beautiful here, Ann. Everything is just so clean and crisp and clear too! The air there must be lovely, huh?
Tell you what I love about this too ---> the fact that nothing much was done to it. So cool when things come out like that from the camera

People often forget that the land of the midnight sun is, in winter, the land of no sun at all. It never makes it above the horizon, and this image from Hammerfest shows how little light there is in the middle of the day. This must have been a bright day, Ann!
(btw..you really must get back to Honningsvåg and Lofoten in summer)

Thanks Malc - the light is extraordinary. We loved it and Christopher wants to get back to Tromso again this winter. Not sure whether we will or not, but we had such a great time there.
