The majestic Reine Lofoten panorama before us, a testament to the unforgiving yet breathtaking beauty of the Arctic landscape. As I recall the day I captured this image, I'm reminded of the unrelenting challenges that come with photographing in one of the most remote and inhospitable regions.
It was an autumn afternoon in Lofoten, Norway, and I had been planning to capture Reine's bay and harbour in all its glory. With my trusty Nikon D810 and 200mm lens by my side, I set out to create a stunning gigapano that would do justice to this breathtaking location.
But fate had other plans. As the afternoon wore on, disaster struck – my photo head clamp snapped, leaving me staring at a broken piece of metal that threatened to ruin my entire shoot. Panic set in, but I refused to give up. With a few spare parts and some screws hastily acquired from a local hardware store, I improvised a temporary fix, using all my knowledge and experience to get my equipment back up and running. It was far from ideal, but it would have to do.
As the sun began its descent below the horizon, casting an Arctic light across Reine's picturesque bay and harbour, I knew I had to push through the adversity. The soft, diffused light of the cloudy day was slowly giving way to the warm glow of the village lights, adding a touch of magic to the scene. And then, it happened – the light, the composition, the moment all came together in perfect harmony. - this gigapano is more than just a photograph; it's a testament to perseverance, creativity.
