Reine, at 23:30. The setting sun and the passing clouds give the picture a painterly feel.

10 How do you bring home memories from a Hurtigruten trip in the best possible way?

Imagine for a second that you’re already on the ship, with your state-of-the-art camera. It does a lot of things; measures, adjusts and enhances. But there’s one thing it doesn’t do. Your camera isn’t the photographer. You are.

Stian Klo waiting for that perfect photo moment.

o, how do you get the best photos? How can you let your friends back home best see a glimpse of what S you have experienced? Let’s hear from esteemed local photo grapher, Stian Klo. Born and raised in Harstad, he knows just about every square metre of Lofoten. His pictures have been published worldwide for such companies as Apple, Instagram, National Geographic and the BBC.

NATURE ON MY DOORSTEP `I’m very fortunate to literally have nature on my doorstep. For me, it’s a dream to be able to work up here. No two days are alike,´ Stian says. `Sailing with Hurtigruten along the coast of Norway, it is all about the light, or the absence of it. Nothing remains the same for long. The light colours the landscape and villages in a thousand diff erent shades; it wraps them in darkness, or lights them up; it makes them glow in the sunset or throws long, dark shadows towards the shore. From the Hurtigruten ships, you have a great opportunity to experience all of this!´ he enthuses.

------`LAND OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN´ truly lives up to its name from May to July. The intense extended daylight above the Arctic Circle persists around the clock, making every Norwegian ‘night’ a joy to behold. This natu- ral phenomenon is found in latitudes north of the Arctic Circle, where the sun stays above the horizon for 24 hours.

STATE-OF-THE-ART cameras or the ubiquitous smartphone? Stian could go on for hours about technical details for taking good photos. The most important rule is to understand a few visual basic precepts:

TILT OR NOT TILT. Generally speaking, avoid tilting the horizon in a photograph. It can be annoying to look at and it’s not really dynamic. If The colours of autumn are amazing. you want to tilt the horizon, make it clear it’s intentional.

FROM A DISTANCE. Photo graphing from a distance, your picture may end up with nothing but background. Try using perspective by including something in the foreground with a familiar size, like people, ships or houses.

VANTAGE POINTS. Last, but not least, get to know the ship by walk- ing around. Find the sweet spots. Look for options. A good composi- tion is often about moving into the right place. Spring light. Crisp autumn air.

Keep your spare batteries within your clothing rather than any bags, as your body heat will keep them “alive” much longer.

FOR SMARTPHONE USERS I recommend using earplugs for shutter release. If you plug them in and open the camera app and press the volume button, you’ll be able to take photos without physically touching the phone, thus creating less camera shake and increasing the chances of getting a sharp image.

Download the “Slow Shutter Cam” app in the App store. By default, smartphones do not support long- exposure photography, but with this app there’s a way around it. Open the app and make sure to go into settings and set picture quality to the highest position and turn on the volume shutter position and turn on the volume shutter.

41 Don’t blink, it’s Lofoten

––– Make sure you do not oversleep today. The journey past the beautiful Vesterålen islands towards the equally spectacular Lofoten is, for many, the highlight of the trip.

Between Sortland and Stokmarknes, you can see the famous mountain Møysalen, which has inspired numerous artists over the years. As we sail south through Vesterålen, we seemingly head straight for the mountain wall, but there is an opening, Raftsundet, leading to the narrow and bewitching Trollfjord, which we sail into during certain parts of the year. We end the day with activities in Svolvær, the capital of Lofoten: sea eagle safari, fi shing and RIB boat rides, horseback riding and more.

But before we dock in Bergen, there are still a few nautical miles of fascinating scenery left, like picturesque Nordfjord that lies below the enormous glacier Jostedalsbreen. Nordfjord stretches 90 kilometres inland from the open sea, all the way to the tiny villages of Loen and Olden. The rugged landscape at the mouth of the fjord is in stark contrast to the fertile landscape at the other end. Lush orchards and glacier arms reach out towards sparkling lakes and cascading water- falls. Enjoy this beautiful sight and be sure to make the most of the last hours on board.
