Perched high above the valley floor in the Norwegian highlands, this viewpoint rewards the effort it takes to reach it with a sweeping panorama of layered mountain ridges, deep green valleys, and dramatic Nordic sky. The classic composition here is a wide shot looking back down the valley, letting the curves of the landscape guide the eye toward the distant peaks; a wide angle lens in the 16 to 24mm range works beautifully for capturing the full sense of scale. You will need to hike uphill from a narrow, winding mountain road, so wear sturdy footwear and give yourself extra time. Overcast days soften the contrast and bring out the rich greens, while golden hour light rakes across the ridgelines and adds depth to the scene. Early morning visits tend to mean fewer cars on the road and the chance of low mist sitting in the valley below. (Strynfjell, Vestland, Norway)
