Flakstad Church

[Kyle Jones]

Yes there is a building in this, but it feels much more like a landscape image than anything resembling a city. This was taken the morning after a fairly significant snowstorm. Drifts across the one road that extends through Lofoten greatly reduced traffic, allowing us to stop on the "highway" and grab a few snaps of this scene. The goal was to line up the church with the mountain. I avoided the temptation to add contrast to the scene and stayed with the hazy, soft look that was there that morning.

Any thoughts are welcome.

Beautiful scene - glad you didn't juice it up as subtle works quite well here.

That's so cool Kyle. It lined up perfectly and I agree this is a landscape with that mountain dominating the background.

I have a similar issue that in scenes like this I am used to adjusting more contrast in. It's really hard to lay back and keep that low contrast feel. But it really works and enhances the image I think by having less contrast in the background.

Kyle,
This is a beautiful image. I really like the combination of red and white together. Works great!
