You may not have heard of Norway’s second largest island, Senja Island. This underrated must-visit travel destination spans 600 square miles of land area. It is situated above the Arctic Circle and is home to ragged mountains and fishing villages.
With a population of fewer than 8,000 people along the eastern coast, the Senja municipality will most probably be excluded from your list of must-see places in Arctic Norway. There aren’t many tour groups covering this area. You can say that this island with its friendly southern coast is yet to be discovered.
If you are planning to explore the area, check out these photography locations in Senja Island you should definitely visit as a photographer.

Senja National Scenic Route
Aleksander Englund
What better way to appreciate a new place is by seeing and experiencing it through a road trip? Visiting Senja Island and capturing amazing pictures is possible by taking a trip along Senja National Scenic Route or the National Tourist Route.
There are 18 different routes that are portions of highways and railways. When taking this route you can take amazing pictures of Senja’s outer coastline. You should definitely watch out for the stunning views, picnic-worthy spots, and spectacular beaches that are picturesque.
Tungeneset Viewpoint
Kamchatka
Traveling through the National Scenic Route, you can witness two picture-worthy viewpoints of Senja Island. One of which is the Tungeneset Viewpoint. Tungeneset is considered a photographer’s haven, and it’s considered Senja’s most photographed site.
Here in the Tungeneset rest area, you can take snaps of the jagged Oksen Peaks or the Okshorn Peaks. You can also take snaps of the cliffs and the small pools on the rocky surfaces.
You can also enjoy walking along the rocky edges and taking amazing pictures of the mountain that meets the sea. If you are lucky and it is low tide, you can take pictures of rock cauldrons that are filled with seawater.
If you happen to visit Tungeneset Viewpoint during poor weather, you can still enjoy the famous Oksen Peaks and take amazing pictures. A tourist-friendly wooden walkway makes it easier for tourists to appreciate and marvel at the amazing view of so many mountains and the open sea.
Bergsbotn Platform
Inger Eriksen
The other must-see site along the National Tourist Route is the Bergsbotn Platform. This platform is 44 meters long. Here you can capture the beauty of Bergsfjord town and its surroundings.
If you like the thrill of heights, the view from the top is truly worth it to capture through your camera. The platform is made of wood but the view remains unbothered because the sides are made of see-through material.
Ersfjord Beach

Senja is home to the open sea and an enjoyable coastal stretch. The Ersfjordstranda Northern Norway hides several sandy beaches for both Norwegian hikers and foreign tourists. If you are looking for a white sand beach, you can get your treat by checking out Ersfjord Beach or Ersfjordstranda Beach.
You can easily find photographers spending a lot of their time on this Arctic beach because of its clear skies, spectacular view, and chilling water. The Ersfjord Beach is a great spot for sightseeing, walking, relaxing, and having a photography break approximately halfway along your trip.
Beach at Bøvær
Claudio Beduschi
The beach at Bøvær is another one of Senja’s must-see sights. Though, the road leading to Bøvær Beach can be extremely terrifying, narrow, and winding. But, reaching the spot can make the trip worthwhile because of the spectacular scenery.
Bøvær is one of Senja’s amazing beaches. As a photographer, you can enjoy taking pictures of the beach’s long shoreline, as well as the white and sandy beach.
After taking gorgeous pictures of Bøvær Beach, you can rest and relax at the Crow Caste. The Crow Castle or Kråkeslottet is a renovated wooden fisherman’s house located beside the lighthouse. You can enjoy and take pictures of the cultural programs while you are at it.
Husøy at Fishing Sites
Ernest Kung
Husøy or “house island” is Senja’s active fishing community. It is a small island found at the heart of Øyfjord. There is not much to do in this fishing village, but there is so much to see. You should get your camera ready when you plan to visit the picturesque fishing village, Husøy.
It doesn’t matter when you plan to visit Husøy because this small fishing village looks fantastic all year round. If you are planning to roam the site, be mindful that most stores close during mid-day which is an influence of the Spanish armada in 1588.
With its remote location, you may think that this site is a living museum. However, it is home to a number of residents who make this village alive and beautiful.
Red Cabins in Gryllefjord
Perszing1982
If you are looking for dramatic shots, you should visit Gryllefjord village. The fjord and the open ocean can give your pictures a dramatic feel. The red cabins in the fishing village Gryllefjord are found along the Norwegian coastline and are certainly a feast to behold.
In the summertime, if you are considering a more extensive tour of Northern Norway, you should take a car ferry. A car ferry links Gryllefjord with the Andes at the northernmost tip of the Vesterålen archipelago.

Hamn I Senja
Lars Almeroth
Hamn I Senja is a sheltered port in Senja, Norway. This place used to be a trading post and an old nickel mine. It is positioned south of Sugarloaf Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean to the west.
You can capture amazing pictures of 98 islets of Bergsfjord that are clustered together up north of Hamn I Senja. The view is simply breathtaking and worth capturing through your camera’s lenses.
Northern Lights and The Midnight Sun in Senja, Norway
Winter is a great time to visit Senja, Norway. Seeing and taking pictures of the northern lights is a non-negotiable when visiting Northern Norway. The island of Senja experiences polar nights during winter which makes it the best place to chase some northern lights.
Polar night can be experienced from the end of November until mid-January. Aside from witnessing the northern lights, it is also fun to go husky sledding and take amazing pictures with the white scenery and adorable huskies.
Now, if you want to experience the midnight sun for once in your life, you should consider a visit around the months of May and July. It is when the sun never sets and Senja is also breathtaking during this time. Hiking is a fun activity that you can do while still seeing the sun shine bright at any time of the day. While you are at it, you should bring your camera with you. If you spot an amazing landscape or intriguing wildlife, take that picture!

On Visiting Senja Island
Dodi Sandradi
Senja is famous among Norwegian tourists because of its gorgeous oceans and beaches, rugged mountain ranges, biking and hiking trails, and must-see fishing villages. This is Arctic Norway which is nestled between Tromsø Islands, Vesterålen Islands, and Lofoten Islands.
As a photographer, you want to be able to manage your own time and enjoy the island at your own convenience. Thus, going around the island in your own car is best. Rentable cars are a good option. Bring your camera and gear so you won’t regret taking a trip to Senja, Norway.
Backscatter is getting into the fluroresence photography and video game with the latest accessories for its Hybrid Flash and Macro Video 4300—the new Backscatter Hybrid Flash Fluorescence Excitation Filter and Backscatter Video Light Fluorescence Excitation Filter, respectively. The former attaches to the HF-1 using the diffuser bayonet mounting system, while the latter snaps onto the front of the MW-4300 the same way as Backscatter’s color filter holder, and both filters are carefully tuned to excite fluorescence optimally. (The latter is also compatible with the Backscatter Mini Flash, but since fluorescence is a weak effect, Backcatter says you’ll get more vibrant images by making use of the power of the Hybrid Flash instead.)
The new blue excitation filters for the Hybrid Flash and Macro Video 4300 are used in conjunction with suitable yellow “barrier” filters that attach to ports, lenses, and filter mounting systems. The barrier filter removes the blue light in your image or video, ensuring your camera records only the colorful fluorescence that is left behind. Backscatter offers threaded barrier filters in various sizes (52mm, 55mm, 67mm) as well as a barrier filter for the company’s FLIP filter system for GoPro. Also available is the Backscatter Fluorescence Yellow Barrier Filter Dive Mask, which allows you to find suitably fluorescing subjects.
When purchasing underwater photography equipment like the products mentioned in this article, please support DPG by supporting our retail partner—Backscatter.com.
You can use multiple masks and make highly complex selections.
You can also use the following manual masking tools:
Select the Graduated Filter tool from the toolbar on the right side of the screen. This tool allows you to apply a gradient effect to your photo, which can help draw the viewer’s attention to a specific area of the image.
To use the graduated filter, click and drag on the part of the image where you want the effect to start. Then, release the mouse button where you want the effect to end. It will create a gradient effect that gradually changes the photo’s exposure, contrast, saturation, or other settings.
Next, you can use the Radial Filter tool to apply a circular gradient effect to your photo. It can help create a vignette effect or draw attention to a particular image area. To use the radial filter, click and drag on the part of the image where you want the center of the effect to be, and then release the mouse button to set the radius of the effect.
Finally, you can use the brush tool to apply effects to specific areas of the photo selectively. Select the brush tool from the toolbar on the right side of the screen and then adjust the brush settings to control the brush’s size, hardness, and other properties. Then, brush over the areas of the photo where you want the effect to be applied.
Using these tools, you can create a more minimalistic photograph by selectively applying adjustments to specific areas of the image. It can help draw the viewer’s attention to the essential parts of the photo and create a more cohesive and balanced composition.
4. REMOVING DISTRACTIONS
One of the most helpful ways to make your photograph more minimalistic is to remove distracting elements. In Lightroom, the healing tool is the tool you can use to get rid of unnecessary elements. This tool allows you to selectively remove unwanted objects from your photo, which can help create a more minimalistic and cohesive composition.
There are three different tools inside the healing panel in the Lightroom CC 2022 version. The Content-Aware Remove, Healing, and Clone tool.
The Content-Aware Remove tool tries to automatically remove selected distractions without suggesting an area to apply with.
The healing tool suggests a replacement for the spot you are trying to remove and uses an algorithm to match the color and light of the applied area.
The clone tool clones an area you want to remove.
Use the cropping and straightening tools to remove distractions and frame the photograph to emphasize the subject.
My favorite thing about photography is that you don’t always have to travel far to capture unique photographs. In this week’s tutorial, I talk about capturing fog in winter and how it can add a sense of mystery and atmosphere to your photos. This is the ultimate guide to capturing winter fog photographs.
Whether a thin layer of mist hovering over a frozen lake or a thick fog enveloping a forest, fog can transform a mundane scene into something magical. In this tutorial, I show you how to capture stunning winter landscapes with mist, from finding the right location to choosing the right time of day and experimenting with compositions.
Find the right location
Fog can be elusive, so it’s essential to find a place where it is likely to appear. Look for areas with low-lying valleys, rivers, or lakes. These areas are more prone to fog because the cool air tends to sink and settle in these areas. Look for locations where the fog is likely to accumulate, such as near water, valleys, or low-lying areas.
Look for forecasts of foggy conditions, especially in the early morning or late evening when the air is cooler, and the humidity is higher. You can also check the humidity and dew point, as the fog is more likely to form when the air is saturated with moisture.
Pay attention to the wind direction. Fog is more likely to form in areas with calm winds. Look for locations where the wind is calm or where the wind is blowing away from the area you want to photograph.
Look for locations with interesting features that can add depth and interest to your photos, such as trees, buildings, or other landmarks. Consider using these elements to create leading lines or to add a sense of scale to your photos.
Fog can be unpredictable, so it’s a good idea to visit your location at different times to see if the fog appears. This will also give you the opportunity to experiment with different lighting conditions and compositions.
The seaside can be an excellent place to capture fog in the Winter. The warm seawater and temperature drop can create a massive cloudlike fog.
This is how you can achieve goals and track them in your journal. Write down each of these and be as thorough as you can.
Specific Goal What do you want to improve? “I want to improve my Lightroom Color editing.”
Specific Action What are your action steps? “Use the HSL panel in Lightroom and watch tutorials on how to use it.”
Timeframe How many hours does it take? “I will spend 1 hour per day editing in the HSL panel to improve my color editing.”
Track your Actions How many hours have you spent this week? “I have spent learning 2 hours this week using the HSL Panel?”
Results Write down what you learned. Be specific and acknowledge your improvement. “I understand the HSL panel easily and can identify how to improve the colors in my photography.”
I believe these steps will help you improve your photography and make you continue to enjoy taking photographs.
5. Goal ideas for Your Photography
When you set inspiring goals, it’s easy to feel inspired to start creating and have fun in the process. Let your creativity flow and create what you desire!
Practice shooting in different lighting conditions, such as sunrise or sunset, to improve your skills in capturing the golden hour
Experiment with using filters, such as polarizers or neutral density filters, to enhance the colors and contrast in your photos
Work on composing your shots more effectively by learning about the rule of thirds or practicing leading lines
Practice shooting in different weather conditions, such as fog or rain, to capture unique and atmospheric images
Learn how to use a tripod effectively to capture sharp, blur-free photos, especially in low light
Experiment with different focal lengths and perspectives to create different effects in your photos
Practice shooting in manual mode to have more control over your camera settings and to create the desired exposure and depth of field in your photos

Shoot in a new location or visit a new destination specifically to photograph landscapes
Work on improving your post-processing skills, such as using software to enhance colors and composition
Collaborate with other photographers or participate in a photography workshop or retreat
Work on developing a personal style or theme in your landscape photography
Explore new local locations. Many beautiful locations are likely near your home, even if you cannot travel far. Aim to explore these new locations and try out different compositions, lighting conditions, and subject matter.
It’s natural for us, as photographers and creatives, to lose our inspiration. While taking a break can initially be a great way to get your inspiration back, it can also harm your inspiration. Procrastination will sometimes sneak in when you are too comfortable.
It can be easy to fall into a creative rut and feel like you need more ideas. I certainly have been there. However, finding new sources of inspiration is an essential part of any creative process, and there are many ways you can do this. In this article, I share a toolkit of ten tips for finding sources of inspiration.
If you haven’t read my earlier posts about inspiration, here you can find them below.
Take your camera with you wherever you go, and be open to capturing unexpected moments and subjects. Visit new locations and try shooting at different times of day to see how the light and atmosphere changes. Explore new neighborhoods, towns, or even countries – sometimes, the most unexpected locations can yield the most inspiring photographs.
2. Try new techniques or subjects
Consider trying new editing techniques or using different lenses or cameras to change the look and feel of your images. Try shooting in black and white, trying long exposures, or experimenting with different compositions. The more you experiment, the more you’ll learn about what works for you and what doesn’t, and the more you’ll be able to develop your own style.
3. Get out of your comfort zone
Stepping outside your usual routine and trying something new can be a great source of inspiration, such as taking up a new hobby or visiting a new location. Taking a break from your routine can help you see things in a new light and spark new ideas.
4. Find new subjects
Keep your eyes open for inspiring subjects and moments in your everyday life. By staying attuned to your surroundings, you’ll be more likely to spot unexpected moments and topics that can inspire your photography. It could be a beautiful sunset, a stunning landscape, or an interesting street scene.
5. Journal
Consider keeping a journal of your photography ideas and inspiration; this can be a great way to keep track of your ideas and revisit them later. Having a place to capture your thoughts can help you stay organized and keep your creativity flowing. You could include sketches, notes, or even photographs that inspire you.
6. Seek inspiration elsewhere
Photography is just one art form, and many other art forms can inspire. Consider looking at paintings, sculptures, or even music for inspiration. Pay attention to the colors, compositions, and themes in these art forms, and think about how you could apply these ideas to your photography. For example, you might look at a painting with a strong color palette and try to recreate that same palette in your photographs. Or, you might be inspired by a sculpture’s texture and try incorporating texture into your compositions.
7. Open your Mind
Keep your eyes open for inspiration in the world around you. It could be the changing seasons, a city’s architecture, or the natural landscape’s beauty. Look for patterns, textures, and colors that catch your eye, and think about how you could capture these elements in your photographs.
8. Plan a trip
Planning a trip specifically for photography can be a great way to step outside your surroundings and find new sources of inspiration. Consider researching locations known for their photographic potentials, such as national parks, historic cities, or natural wonders. Look for places that offer a variety of landscapes and lighting conditions, as this will allow you to experiment with different techniques and subjects. Wander from the beaten path and explore off-the-beaten-track locations – sometimes, the most unexpected places can yield the most inspiring photographs.
9. Collaborate with others
Collaborating with other photographers on a project or photo shoot can be a great way to learn from others and find new sources of inspiration. Working with others can help you see things in a new light and inspire you to try new approaches to your photography. Consider reaching out to photographers whose work you admire and see if they would be interested in collaborating on a project. Alternatively, you could join a local photography group or participate in online forums or communities where you can connect with other photographers and discuss ideas and techniques.
10. Seek new experiences
One of the best ways to find new sources of inspiration is to seek new experiences. It could be trying new hobbies, traveling to new locations, or simply trying something new in your everyday life. By stepping outside your comfort zone and trying new things, you’ll be more likely to find new subjects and experiences that inspire your photography. For example, if you’re a landscape photographer, consider trying a new type of photography, such as portrait or still-life photography. It can help you see things in a new light and find new ways to approach your landscape photography.
An additional source for inspiration: Create a theme or a goal. Consider setting yourself a personal photography project with a specific theme or goal. This could be a project where you photograph a particular location over the course of a year or a project where you focus on a specific type of landscape or subject. Having a specific project to work on can help you stay motivated and focused and can also provide new sources of inspiration.
As underwater photographers, many of us have witnessed not just stunning reefs and awe-inspiring creatures, but also the gradual decline of our favorite dive sites—due to overtourism, destructive fishing practices, and steadily rising water temperatures. Equally, many of us want to use our images to help encourage efforts to protect the marine environments we care deeply about, but we may not know how best to go about it. If that describes you, you’ll want to make sure you catch the next event hosted by The Underwater Club (TUC), as founder Nicolas Remy talks to Canadian conservation photographer Shane Gross.
During the two-hour webinar, Shane will be discussing some of the conservation stories he has shot, the impact those stories have had, and what he’s learned along the way. The 2024 Wildlife Photographer of the Year will also be offering insights into his award-winning photography, including techniques, post-processing, gear choices, and the business side—how he pitches stories, markets himself, gets published, and uses his work to support ocean and freshwater ecosystems.
As usual, TUC members join for free, while non-members will need to purchase tickets to the event at AU$49 (approx. US$35). Note that this is also the price of monthly membership, so this is the perfect opportunity to join the club and take advantage of all of the membership benefits.
As a professional landscape photographer, I’ve had the pleasure of capturing breathtaking images of nature, traveling to some of the most stunning locations, and sharing my passion for the beauty surrounding us. However, my journey didn’t begin overnight. After graduating from a graphic design school in 2008, I decided to immerse myself in the world of photography. When I started, I focused on the technical aspects of photography. I photographed everything and anything. No constraints. I was testing out different settings and following my inspiration.
Over time I realized that maintaining a beginner’s mind is one of the most essential factors in my growth as a photographer. And when I feel uninspired, it’s usually because I get caught up with doing the same things repeatedly. Then I remind myself to start again with a beginner’s mind, following my inspiration. Sometimes I might start it with either a new location or technique.
While researching for this blog post, I came across the concept of “beginner’s mind,” an ancient Buddhist principle known as “Shoshin.” This way of thinking emphasizes the importance of approaching our experiences with an open, curious, and humble mindset, regardless of how advanced we may become in our chosen fields.
In this post, I will share how embracing a beginner’s mind has shaped my photography journey and how it can benefit photographers, artists, and creatives of all levels.
Maintain Curiosity
One core principle of a beginner’s mind is maintaining a sense of curiosity. When I first started photography, I was eager to learn everything I could about the craft. Over time, I’ve found it essential to keep that curiosity alive, continuously exploring new techniques, subjects, and perspectives. This constant drive to learn has allowed me to grow and evolve as a photographer. It has not always been easy. And at times, I have lost that spark or inspiration. But then I know I need to focus on being a beginner again and find that curiosity.
How can you expand your creative horizons by exploring new subjects or techniques you haven’t tried before?
What resources or learning opportunities can you seek to deepen your understanding of your craft further?
Embrace the Unknown
Throughout my photography journey, I’ve found that embracing the unknown and stepping out of my comfort zone has led me to some of my most memorable experiences. One story comes to my mind: My initial idea was to capture some seascapes, but on my way to the coast, I saw a massive cloud of smoke. I started driving towards the smoke. Finally, I arrived near a field where I saw prescribed burning. While taking photographs, I saw a man standing amid it all, taking pictures of the area. I took a photo I still can’t believe is a single frame where birds were flying perfectly with the composition I chose.
A beginner’s mind encourages us to take risks and experiment, leading to unexpected discoveries and growth. In those moments of uncertainty, like venturing into unfamiliar locations or trying a new technique, I’ve often found my most creative and unique ideas.
What fears or hesitations might discourage you from trying something new in your photography or creative work?
Can you identify a specific project or idea that pushes you outside your comfort zone? How might you approach it?
I don’t often write about gear, but it’s the most common question I get, so today, let’s talk about gear and what I currently use in landscape photography. Throughout my journey, I’ve experimented with various Nikon cameras, from D90 to Z7 II and now to the new Z8. I have used lenses from Nikon, Sigma, Tokina, Tamron, and Laowa, ultimately finding the current setup that allows me to express my creative vision.
I used the new Nikon Z 8 for a week in March, and it was fantastic. From a quick overview, I think it delivers an excellent upgrade for the autofocus and video options compared to the Nikon Z 7II. I’ll receive my copy of the Nikon Z8 later, so I can give you more thoughts about the camera. These are my honest opinions about the gear I use. Even though I’m a Nikon Creator, this post is not sponsored by Nikon.
Nikon Z7 II
I have used the Nikon Z7 II as my primary camera for the past year. Before that, I used Nikon Z7 and D810. You can view my review of the Nikon Z7. Now with the Nikon Z7 II, I barely use anything else. The SD card slot is a great addition to the previous version. I’m not currently shooting video much, but that part has also been upgraded from Z7. The battery life is slightly better than in the Z7. When I want to capture time-lapse as well as stills I bring with me the Z7 to have the option to shoot two different perspectives at the same time.
Sensor
Although not the highest-megapixel sensor in the market, the Nikon Z7 II‘s 45.7-megapixel sensor produces high-quality images with incredible detail. It is essential in landscape photography, where every nuance, from the texture of rocks to intricate patterns, adds depth and richness to the final image.
Dynamic Range
The dynamic range of a camera refers to its ability to capture detail in both the brightest and darkest parts of a scene. It is essential when photographing landscapes with high contrast between bright skies and shadowy foregrounds. The Nikon Z7 II excels, allowing me to capture images that retain detail even in challenging lighting conditions.
Low-Light Performance
One of my favorite aspects of landscape photography is capturing the beauty of the night sky. The Nikon Z7 II‘s excellent low-light performance allows me to photograph the stars and the Milky Way with minimal noise and incredible detail. The camera’s high ISO capabilities and noise reduction ensure that my astrophotography images are clean and sharp.
Nikon Z7 II pros and cons
+ Exceptional image quality + Low-light capability + Dynamic Range + Low weight, only 705 g + Dual card slot – No in-camera RAW video capabilities – Relatively slow autofocus – Could have a better battery life
