You just described wonderfully why I'm drawn to remote places. It started with a trip to the interior of Iceland, then Tromsø, and more recently Svalbard and the Faroes.
I tried to capture the beautiful sense of isolation in Svalbard here, maybe it inspires others to make a trip to somewhere remote. https://photoblog.nk412.com/Svalbard2024/n-ssC8fP/Svalminiphotoblog https://photoblog.nk412.com/Svalbard2024/n-ssC8fP/Svalminiph...
- brotherjerky 1y agoPoked around your site and enjoyed it, please post more
- grilledchickenw 1y agoThank you, kind of you to say. Enough people have said nice things that I've convinced myself that more might be interested in my travel shenanigans.
- geoduck14 1y agoThanks for the pics! The prevalence of rifles is... thought provoking. The pic of the guy on a bike with a rifle is so metal My overall impression of the area is "gloomy" all pics are overcast. It feels sad. It is beautiful, but I long for the sun
- _alternator_ 1y agoI believe that a rifle is required in Svalbard when you are outside. Polar bears are no joke there.
- gsf_emergency_2 1y agoI couldn't find my old photo of a modern-day nordic recreational cyclist with an all metal SAAB on his back, so here's the next best thing https://old.reddit.com/r/shittytechnicals/comments/yicgme/italian_machine_gun_mounted_bicycle_ww1/ https://old.reddit.com/r/shittytechnicals/comments/yicgme/it...
- fastasucan 1y agoOn Svalbard you need a rifle for Polar bear protection. If you need sun just go there in summer, with the midnight sun it will never leave you.
- hetspookjee 1y agoI could’ve scrolled far longer. Really liked the pictures and brief texts
- grilledchickenw 1y agoThank you, I've been trying to post more.
- hermitcrab 1y agoGreat photos. Crazy to just see a picture of a rifle leaning up against a window, unattended.
- technocrat8080 1y agoMy god, how can I take photos like that? Do you describe your setup and process somewhere?
- grilledchickenw 1y agoThank you, I don't think I'm doing anything particularly special with my process. I like blacks, and keep photos slightly underexposed, something that most phone cameras will avoid like the plague, brightening everything up. Cropping and composition is also more important than it seems IMO.
- alluro2 1y agoBeautiful photography, and I enjoyed your commentary. Thank you for posting.
