I've already shown off my hiking trip to Høgsvora but I wasn't able to fit everything into that post. While that post depicted the hike itself I want to focus on the photography in this one. I honestly think I did some of my lifes best photography on this trip. Really makes me want to move away from my phone and get a proper camera.
We had a foggy trip but that led way to some great photography. I played around for quite a while with the camera settings on my iPhone 11 Pro Max and I quickly discovered that a rocky mountainside surrounded by fog looks really good in black & white. At least I thought so.
These are mainly photos taken on our descent as the fog was really rolling in thick at this point. We were lucky enough to have a fog free view while we were sitting at the top.
The Mountain In The Sky
I really liked this one. Far off mountain ranges surrounded by the clouds in the background and the fog closest to us. Almost makes it look like it's floating.
The mountain top cairn depicted just before our descent. I liked the contrast it had to the foggy background. I think this was taken with the film noir filter on the camera.
All the way up here (1100 masl) there were still several patches of snow.
Into the Fog
I really likes this motive. Looks like my father in law is walking into the unknown.
Strolling Along the Ridge
This has to be my favorite photo. I feel like I utilized the golden ratio well to capture a sweet motive. His stance is also really great.
These two photos kind of go together but I really liked them. The parallell lines going forward looks good together with the diagonal lines of the rocks sort of breaking the pattern. I might go and edit in some more contrast in these ones to make the motive stand out even more from the foggy background.
Just to show off how the motive looks in original colors. Might have had a bit of a lively filter on to make the greens pop out more but the point still stands. This one versus the black & white above the one above wins in my opinion.
I took around 600 photos during this hike so these were just my personal favorites and highlights.

All photos in this post are taken by me.
The framing is excellent and the mood in these shots is amplified by the b&w imho. Great job! Thanks for sharing bro.
Cheers! I thought so to. I had a friend saying you can't take good photos with a shitty camera but honestly if you work that composition you can take some killer photos with the shittiest of cameras.
I am not only a member of that club... i am also the president. I think the quality of the photo is more indicative of the photographer than the equipment! =)
These are all awesome shots. I always think it's funny when people say you can't take a good photo without expensive equipment. Then I just remind them of all the amazing film photographers that came before the whole digital age.
Totally. People shouldn't have to read to many articles on symmtery, ratio and the such to be able to take better pictures.
!discovery 20 awesome photos!
First shot is stunning mate! As for the ridge, we have a couple of similar ones here in Thailand which I'm hoping to ride the bike along one day if ever get un-locked down!
Enjoy the trip, I'm loving the photos, but that first one....wow!
Best wishes mate and have a great weekend :-)
Cheers! I can imagine biking along a ridge like this would be great if you like biking. My fear of heights is already triggering from walking here. Riding a bike probably wouldn't make it any better. Expecting to see some pictures of that in the future mate!
These photos are great! I’m usually more of a fan of color, but I think these were made even better by going with B&W.
This photo in particular could easily be a death metal album cover.
Totally! I should pitch this to the Norwegian black metal band Taake. Taake means fog btw.
Oh shit, yea you really should. It’s a proper photo for album art no doubt. Fog for dayssss.
I love hiking but got no so good places around here to go hiking. Those images of yours look amazing and reminds me of so many action movies where they have to risk it all to get perfection.
I assure you I was never in any danger or risk when taking these pictures, lol. A shame you don't have any sites like this where you live. I don't think I would be able to move to a place without nearby mountains after living in Norway.
I'm glad you are priveledged to have mountains where you stay.i wish I had the opportunity you do.
these scenes look absolutely stunning in black and white.
good eye

The first pic is just amazing. I stole it a week ago when you showed it on the Discord server and I have it as a screenshot on my WhatsApp.
I'm surprised you don't have a picture with a shirt this time, maybe that mountain was cold even for you.
Amazing work dude.
