Title: On a beach in Lofoten
Post by: Bjørn J on July 14, 2015, 23:36:43

I recently returned from a five-day trip to the Lofoten islands in North Norway, and these photos are from a meditative hour walking slowly on a beach, looking down. After a while I slide into a mental state that makes me forget my surroundings, I just concentrate on seeing, and when I "wake up" it takes a second or two until I realize where I am :)

Most of these are taken with the Nikkor 85mm PC-E - a fantastic lens!

I love the very abstract shots of *05.jpg

Reminds me very much of the shots I took in Pulathomas, Co Mayo in 1989 to 1991 for some exhibitions. Very nice memories. These pictorial sand formations are not very common and it is a great pleasure to see and photograph them.

I also like the simplicity of the images

Beautiful contemplative images. All from #3 onwards work very well for me; #1 and #2 a little less so.

#3 and #5 stand out to me.  All four images are simple, but they start to tell interesting stories as soon as you make pairs from them.  Thanks for the inspiration!

Beautiful shots ! I love them.

So artistic...

Bravo, Francis.

All interesting, but I particularly enjoyed the last two.

Nice set of abstract images.  I like the organic look.
