[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Extensive mountain plateaus without trees and colossal mountain sides. That is what you expierence when you are in Istersalen and in Romsdal in Norway.
When you are travelling overthere every time you will be rewarded with fabulous views on the surrounding mountains. Because of the extremely steep mountain sides the area is not very suitable for "normal" mountain walkers.
For example: the mountain group Trolltindane (1788m) was only climbed for the first time in 1967.

Here, close to Trollstigen a view of the "Bispen" (1.450m). This day it was quite cloudy, but suddenly the sun came through, and the clouds were rapidly disappearing. This phenomenon was giving a very special atmosphere.

Hope you get a right impression of this wonderful landscape.

Great POV :)

Hi Ruud,

Great exposure on this one! Very well done and great capture. There is a lot of movement in this shot.

Hello Ruud,
A typical scenery from Western Norway, well captured!
And above the clouds the sky is always blue, they say...
Nicely composed image with fine colours and good details!
Greetings,

Hi Ruud,
perfect photo with excellent exposure and use of the light. I love the details showing in this photo. The houses give a perfect idea of the size of the mountain peak.

Hi Ruud!
1788 or 1450 meters may not sound impressive by way of the height of a mountain. The degree of difficulty involved in climbing it matters a great deal, of course.
This is a lovely peak you have shot here. It looks very pretty with clouds swirling around it.
The sky is a bit noisy. I have removed the noise by using a filter. Hope you do not mind.
Regards,
Ram

Hi Ruud,
Good detail, colours and sharpness. exposure and lighting are good. Good POV and composition.

Thanks for posting, have a great week.

What a wonderful picture of this peak. I hadn't appreciated the scale until I read some of the other notes and Niek's pointing out the houses in the bottom right corner.

I like Ram's workshop, the noise reduction has worked well, improving the picture no end.
