Norway Nature

Been traveling alot this summer in my country, trying to capture some of the beauty locations.
Here is a compiled sample of some of it:

Well done, Per - thanks for sharing. Some of that looks reminiscent of our "playground" north of the border in BC and Yukon, but you have more precipitous cliffs...truly breathtaking! I'm jealous of your skinnier fjords, too. Ours (locally) are a lot wider so not as mysterious. (maybe we get a bit more sun though!) Looks like a popular place, and I can see why. Lot of work in those shots, too. What rig are you using?

Hi and thanks Gene!
Yes some of the scenes are quite busy, lots of people in summer time. Some are a bit hard to reach though. The last part showing the Preacher Pulpit Rock 2-3 hours hike on foot one way. I was amazed that so many people was able to get there!
You might observe the big crack across the cliff in the video. The cliff will sooner or later fall down into the fjord 1800 ft below and make a big sunami. But no one can tell when!

Another scene, which was first time for me to get to was summit of Galdhopiggen, the highest mountain in North Europe 8100 ft high. It´s 3-4 hours hike on foot in very steep terrain crossing a glacier to get there, but the view from the top was worth the hard hike!

I´m mostly using my 5DMk3 with wide angle lenses in this video. The panoramic timelapse from summit of Galdhopiggen was done with a GoPro 3+ Black
Timelapse dolly - Dynamic Perception Stage Zero Dolly System
Realtime dolly - Kessler Pocket Slider
Rock steady tripod - Vinten Vision Blue System

Cool !

Great stuff Per, lovely footage!

Thanks all! Hope this stuff will sell, been uploading lot of new content this summer. But still selling most of my old content at P5!

Per, very nice. I have admired your work for years.

Fantastic.
Lots of work, effort and dedication = inspirational footage

Thanks guys!
@Mark, you inspired me to get a slider for real time footage when I watched your stunning films of rivers and waterfalls!
I still working hard to get the movements right and I am thinking of build a motor driven system for it to be able to make those very slow movements!

Yes, motor driven is very smooth and expensive unless you build it yourself. I sold my DIY motorized slider a little while ago due to heavy weight of the Igus rail system. I want to go lighter when on the trail. Right now I have my eye on this which has a resistance pulley http://www.gearcontact.com/ifootage_shark_slider_s1_bundle.html as well as rail extensions. I am awaiting feedback from several owners before I decide whether to purchase. With the rail extensions I think it could be mounted vertically on a tripod and duplicate a simple jib move thus eliminating one more piece of equipment.
