Arctic Night
I took the picture with my Fuji X-T3 and the XF16-55F2.8 lens at 31 millimeters. It is a long time exposure with 120 seconds, f/5.6 and ISO 250.
My passion is traveling and landscape and nature photography. I love to be in Northern Europe, for example on the Faroe Islands or the Lofoten Islands, but also the Atlantic coasts of Normandy, Brittany and Scotland have done it to me.
My inspiration comes, on the one hand, from the joy of being outdoors and feeling the weather. On the other hand, it comes from looking at a lot of other photographers' images, reading photography books, and most importantly, from personal exchanges with other photographers.
At the moment I am shooting with a Nikon Z7. The filters are from Haida and my tripod is a Gitzo Mountaineer carbon tripod. I edit my pictures almost exclusively with Adobe Lightroom. Sometimes I add some fine tuning with Photoshop.

entry description
The photography "Arctic Night" was taken in April 2019 during a visit to Lofoten, Norway. In April, it is already no longer completely dark at night, but there is a wonderful twilight. On this night, only a few clouds passed along the sky and so I was able to combine the beautiful light of the sky very well with the colour of the fjord to express the coldness of the Arctic night.In contrast, the house illuminated with warm light gives off a feeling of warmth and security.I took the picture with my Fuji X-T3 and the XF16-55F2.8 lens at 31 millimeters. It is a long time exposure with 120 seconds, f/5.6 and ISO 250.
about the photographer
My name is Thomas Zilch, I was born in 1968 and have been taking pictures for many years. Photography is not my profession, but my passion. It is for me, in addition to a hobby, also a means of relaxation. There is (almost) nothing more beautiful than roaming through nature with my camera and capturing it in a picture. I find it fascinating to observe how it changes through the influence of the weather, the time of day and season and the light and shows itself in ever new appearances.My passion is traveling and landscape and nature photography. I love to be in Northern Europe, for example on the Faroe Islands or the Lofoten Islands, but also the Atlantic coasts of Normandy, Brittany and Scotland have done it to me.
