Agreed James, but I didn’t have a lens with me that would achieve a much wider perspective and still deliver the Concept I was looking for. This was taken with one of my walkabout EF100-400mm L IS II lenses set at 220mm, in an attempt to show how a typical fjord in Norway dwarfs everything man-made.

I was standing high on the stern of QM2 when I took this shot, so I’m pleased that (a) my attempts to stay still while shooting hand-held and the IS combined together to produce this relatively sharp shot, and (b) that I managed to close on my Concept with relatively little post-cropping. If I had taken a wider lens with me, I probably could have closed on a more traditional landscape shot and still achieved that “wow, that is high!” Perspective... but I “did the best I could, with what I had, where I was, at that time.”

You did well, congrats on staying still enough on a ship. That can be difficult even at anchor with winds and tides moving the ship. Keep posting, we enjoy the perspective and landscape.

This is what I had in mind: I took your photo and applied the Dehaze tool in Lightroom.


What you have created is interesting, but not my concept, or what I closed on. The “haze” in my photograph is the drizzle falling from the clouds. Those clouds and integral moisture are (just my opinion) a key part of the experience of traveling down a Norwegian Fjord; removing the haze creates a picture postcard effect. Not bad, but just not my reality.
