Lofoten locations with some epic Autumnal colour.
The locations look absolutely stunning in autumnal colours, plus the lakes with those towering peaks hold the possibility of reflections in Autumn. Not to mention numerous locations that are inaccessible in winter including the amazing Reinebringen and Kvalvika hike. So much to shoot including dramatic mountains, epic fjords, cute little cottages, single-trees and hopefully northern lights.

Plus there’s very few around at lots of the locations so it’s a real treat.

In a nutshell
This workshop is covering some of the best parts of Lofoten Island in northern Norway which is located north of the arctic cirlce, where we can experiance some magical arctic light.

This time of year we will be focusing on the stunning fall colours along with some epic seascapes and ofcourse some nothern lights.

This usually stunning area becomes even more magical and striking in the autumn with its autumnal colurs, mountain peaks, turquoise seascapes, clean beaches, dramatic fjords, and of course we will have our fingers crossed the Northern Lights.

There are no big drives on this trip so plenty of time to concentrate on your shooting.
Getting to Iceland
You will want to fly into Oslo (OSL) and connect through there to Leknes (LKN), normally with short stop in Bodo (BOO) tour begins in Leknes (arrival night included) and concludes at Leknes airport
Physical Requirements:
The majority of the workshop is easy with locations close to the car.

We consider a 15-minute walk easy/nature isn’t paved. Apart from that we have 2 hikes planned if weather allows, one of them is to the beautiful beach of Kvalvika and is not hard while it's not a walk in the park, the other one is called Reinebringen and is a fair bit more challenging, but with plenty of time everyone in decent shape should be able to do it, both hikes are afternoon activities and in case someone is not up for doing them there is plenty of other things to shoot.
