Photographic AdventuresIn this issue of photo adventures we would like to take you on a journey to Norway, to the home of the master predator of the wonderful Fjords, to the kingdom of the Sea eagle.
The territory of the Flatanger, worthy of the title of paradise on Earth for bird photographers, amounts to 460 sq.km. and around 1,400 smaller islands, making it Northern Europe’s most numerous group of islands and ideal habitat for the eagle.

You should never save time when out on a photo trip, hence you should spend at least a week at the Fjords, which will, in turn, improve your chances of success. The weather in Flatanger is always changing, and you can witness rain, fog, haze and glorious sunshine all within one day. Out on the sea you can catch eagles, seagulls, oystercathers and skuas, and on the island deers, elks, squirrels and many more smaller forest birds. Flatanger is beautiful in its own right, so don’t forget landscape photography. Interestingly, from June to mid-August you’ll find it hard to sleep here if you are used to sleeping in darkness. At this time of year the Sun doesn’t really disappear even at night, simply resting near the horizon before ascending again. From a photographer’s point of view this means that from 10 PM to 4 AM landscape shots can be taken in ideal light conditions. To capture birds its worth taking to the waters twice a day. Fine, but where and who with you may you ask. Oleh is me of the best photo tour guides in the world, not only totally at home in his work but also very humorous and well-spirited. That’s why we returned to him again this year.
