Blue Flames Over Tind

This is taken probably 2 kilometers up in a valley over a little place called Tind, just before Å, the end of the road in Lofoten. A stunning little place.

I saw this little pool with vibrant, rust red bottom and had to get a shot with those amazing clouds in the back. This is actually two exposures, one for the sky and one for the foreground. The reason for that was that I wanted the reflection in the little pool to go away and I wanted to have the clouds "pop", something that wasn't possible with just one exposure. Therefore I had to take one shot, then rotate the polarizer and take the other.

This was just an amazing day. One of the only days this summer that I've gotten a sunburn...and I'm ginger!
