[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I like to photograph the sky, and some have mentioned there always is a big part of sky in my images… Maybe they are right!

Two means are essential in making the Nordic sky look it’s best: A polarizer and underexposure! Max pol and 2 full steps under will always add drama… Not that I applied that much in this one but you get my point!

Don’t be afraid to experiment! Digital photography means cheap frames and you can study the images while you still remember what you did…

Hola amigo,
magnífico pov,
espectacular vista, preciosas nubes...
excelente trabajo Pablo,
saludos

Hi Pablo. This is a unusual scene as pride of place seems to go to the large cloud. I like the effect very much. Good blue sky - your trademark! Well presented. Murray.

I love clouds and I try to include them in my photos too. The ones on this are just amazing. They seem so near to the ground. Very scenic view Pablo, and thanks for sharing.

Hello Pablo
An imposing image. A beautiful composition and an excellent contrast. Thank you the polarizing filter for this splendid sky. Good day. In a friendly way Gildas

That is a good tip, I still have to remind myself that it's digital and it does not cost a thing to experiment - however old habits die hard. You will come across more norwegian skies I'm afraid, because I just loved the skies in Norway.
Isn't it wonderful to have those rich red houses to brighten up your picture. A real feast. Love it.
TFS
Have a nice day

Stunning Pablo. This is why I love Norway soo much.

Brilliant POV, Pablo,
The cloud and the shadow cast on the hill-side vegetation just underneath add a very good sense of depth.

Image is also very sharp as usual with your photographs

Well done.

Hello Pablo,

You are an expert in showing skies and clouds. They are very special from your point of view. This is one such thing amongst them. Lovely clouds and colors. Nice POV. TFS.

Kiran.

I have always been a great fan of your skies and clouds, to say nothing about your special, Nordic light. Superb compo, colors and light. I love those small, distant, red houses, the magnificent sky with those clouds and the mountain with its black fir-trees.

Hi Pablo,
Breathtaking sky my friend and I'm very happy with your explanation regarding the use of the polarizing filter and the 2 stops under exposure. I'll goingto try that (iff the weather gives me this kind of sky's, it's right now vert poor weather in the Netherlands) Anyway the large area of sky and the relitive land area gives it a dramatic look. Excellent excecuted photography my friend.

Hi Pablo, The clouds here are amazing and seem to be very close to the ground...the wide angle works well here. Polarizer IS ALWAYS a nice thing and you used it well here. I don't take many wide angle shots as I don't have a good wide lens, but this is very inspiring, makes me wanna get one soon:) Very nice shooting Pablo, as always.

Thanks for the wise advice exposed in your note; that technique and a wider view surely adds drama to composition of this beautiful landscape I saw first a while ago.

WELL DONE
BYE . İNAN UC

By your note i realise we often do the same way. I enjoy to underexpose the sky a little. It give a liberty! Just that give a dramatic and if i readjust after it could even give tragic.
We had an electric strorm... Very rare at the end of september. A dome with a light from a hole in the sky... Very tragic dark sky... A little increased by that underexposure... I believe i will don't have to retouch!

My polirized miss me. Wrong size for my actual camera. I know how he increase! If i remade my stock one day, i believe i will go for Cokkin square filter system... a little more expensive but great quality and it follow many size.. just change the adaptor!
It help for a realism like that for deep and colors!

Almost forgot.. With some observation you will see a very close up of a dod's head!

Hello Pablo. You have exposed the wide sky really well here. The red architecture always brilliant on the foreground. I like the sky land division which is unique making this a stunning image. Regards. Jusni
