April Photo of the Month

Comes from Ota Hevler. It was shot near Svolvaer, Lofoten, Norway. Here's what Ota has to say about it:

"I took this picture on the first morning in Lofoten. I was extremely tired after driving the whole night, but in the same time I was so excited about being there that I did not pay any attention to the fact that I had almost no sleep for 24 hours. When the sun reveals the ever-present mountains, which rise straight from the sea I felt like I was in paradise, at least from the landscape photographer perspective. My wife would of course tell you something completely different. At that morning I did not know what other beautiful places we are about to see during our stay in Lofoten, and of course I did not know that only in few hours time I will see (what I was hoping for the whole life) The northern lights. This place is just amazing so I am already planning to go back!!!"  Click to see larger.

Do not forget to check out all other photographs of the month since our last newsletter. They are voted for by all members and we seem to prefer black-and-white lately.

Northern Lights

Marek Potoma writes about his experience shooting aurora borealis. He was lucky on the very last day of his trip. It's in Slovak but the images don't need any translation. Read more.
