When we wake up the morning of Thursday 12, we find that incredible moisture has completely soaked the tent!
We decide to delay the start and we put into action, trying to dry the wet with the bulk of paper towels, squeeze and re-using them as best we can!
When the situation improves and the tent is partially dry, dismantle everything and we get on the road.
Along the way, the fjords, as always, give performances. At one point we find a situation quite incredible: we have only one scene in a lake, a hill, mountains and even a glacier! This time we can not stop for some photos!
After you put everything away, we continue the journey.
We had planned to arrive in the waterfall Voringsfoss late morning, because according to our calculations, there would be the best lighting conditions, but when we camped at Øvre is already mid-afternoon. Have placed, however, we decided to visit the waterfall, having nothing better to do.
We climb in the car on a very winding road (almost spiral) up to the perfect start when you look at the waterfall. There are various ways and various places to see this attraction, what we have chosen is not the best: you can easily see the small waterfall secondary as the dust raised by the water vapor flow in which crashes to the ground (amazing how the steam and the air mass caused by increased scavenger cascade way up, the water of the lowest), but the waterfall more if you do not see the end, being almost entirely hidden behind the rock.
We note that probably the best point is that from the bottom, along a footpath that leads up to the foot of the waterfall, but, in addition to being a long distance (2-3 hours of walking, according to what we know), it would also difficult to take pictures with all that water vapor, and of course you are completely soaked.
Given the late hour and the adventure of the day before, we are content with where we are and took some pictures.
Back at camp we cook our usual large pot of pasta and then we dedicate ourselves to the photos. Fortunately, the campsite is right on the shore of a fjord and offers a nice scenario, as often happen in the various places where we will stay, so for once I just do only 2 steps to already be on location!
The weather conditions in Norway are highly variable, and more often at dusk or dawn, there are situations worthy of note, or at least cute. This is definitely a pro for those who love landscape photography! The probability of finding something good when it comes to photography is definitely high.
rest until the last color on the gray clouds passing, shooting every now and then to record each situation and change colors in the sky, so you can choose the best moment later.
Now I put everything away and sat down with a beer and chat with John, when I lose the eye in the sky and I see that you have created a special situation with a pair of fiery clouds of a vivid red with purple hues. It seems almost impossible for such an event several minutes after everything has shut down, but this is it! Obviously I can only do viewer.
The next day we wake up early, take the car and we head towards the Hardangervidda National Park in search of wild reindeer, birds and anything else interesting faunisticamente can occur. The weather is bad, however, especially on the park, at times with rain and strong wind.
take a dirt road for a fee (there is a casottina beginning with the application forms a part becomes detached and is held, the other is made in the envelope, so you shove money in the pockets is 'appropriate box) at low speed and continue looking around to spot something.
Luck does not help us much, and also the road is the only passable by car to go into the heart of the park, so it's pretty busy and the human presence takes maybe a bit 'away wild animals. On the other hand, the bad weather we have to pass the desire for a walk, then we should go back and forth in the car and hope for luck.
Throughout the morning we do not see anything at all, except for some rock misleading mistaken for animal, then all that remains is the surrounding landscape.
Around noon / one o'clock exit of the dirt road and parked in an area along the road to take a break, they take the opportunity to eat, a game of "Trivial Pursuit" with the defeat of John annexed (the first of a series!: D), and also some pictures "from boredom."
Then we resume our back and forth on the dirt road.
At one point out of the window I see a bird still on the grass, nailed down the window on my side and do a short burst, control the shots, I make a second burst and then gives way to the specialist. Misfortune has it that at that very moment behind us comes a van, making a loud noise, we move to pull over and let him pass, but when we get back in now the bird is gone.
Covering Photos John suggests it is a Plover doves, actually then look at the guide of the birds that it is a golden plover.
The distance and conditions did not produce a great photo of start, but the RAW files still try to pull something out, if only to remember my first sighting of game!
The rest of the day goes by without anything done. Late in the afternoon
some sunshine begins to filter through the clouds, making among other hope for the sunset, just as I'm trying the 300mm f2.8 John, so I take this opportunity to a landscape by hand.
the evening, over our classic dinner of pasta, I placed again on the banks of the fjord of the camp for sunset.
The conditions are less attractive in the sky this time, but there is still something nice.
behind me but there are large clouds of yellow-orange color and I think to myself that maybe dall'Hardangervidda would have done something really nice, having a good view of 360 degrees and some interesting areas a bit 'in all directions. This time
rest beyond the last lights, not to me how unprepared the night before, but obviously in this case the conditions do not recur, so I have to make do with what I have already done so.
