I visited the Lofoten islands once more in the first two weeks of February. Some days were overcast and the last week was wonderful weather.
Attached are a couple of pictures from the trip. I had good use of the Canon 11-24 f/4L lens on the Canon 5DSR on this trip. The first attached picture was shot at 11mm (uncropped and no lens correction).
More pictures here http://hanskrusephotography.zenfolio.com/p785895820 and more to come as I work my way through all the shots from the trip.

Wonderful set, Hans.
Are you shure the first is at 11mm? Looks more like a 35mm.
-
A feast for the eyes. :)
-
Lovely shots and a hearty soul you are for taking them :)
-
A fine set of images
-
I'll echo all the praise. These are wonderful!

Thanks Slobodan, if you position yourself in a way that the 11mm is not exaggerated, then it will look like (e.g. 35mm as you say). A partial screen shot from Lightroom is attached that shows the 11mm :)

Fantastic set, Hans, the aurora shot especially.

Thanks very much for the comments :)

The screen shot is nice, but I really like the original 11mm shot.

Thanks Eric, what I like about the 11mm is that I can get horisontals with all included where I would otherwise would have needed to do a vertical and have much less horisontal space. Sometimes a vertical would be perfectly fine, but I like the more space. I'm thinking of a thread where I share the 11mm shots I have done since I got this lens.

i think an 11mm thread would be really cool!

If somewhat restricted in its contributors. I handled the 11-24 once and was hugely impressed, although scared stiff by thoughts of damaging the enormously protruding front element.

+1 The framing is outstanding and you were just at the right place!

What a great set, thanks for sharing.

I'll come back to that :)

I keep the lens cap on while going around with the lens on the camera and only take it off when I compose and shoot. I agree it is so huge :)
-
Excellent set. The first 2 images are special.

Done in the same forum as I felt this was more about the use of this lens on landscapes than a gear post :)
-
Beautiful set! The first image is exceptionally beautiful.

Did you 10 stop that first shot and smooth that water out? Curious to compare the two. First shot is the most compelling out of the 50 so far you've posted.
-
Nice images Hans. I'm in Lofoten now with a workshop group as well as Art Wolfe and Ignacio Palacio. Forecast looks good for the week. Fresh snow on the ground. This a great area to photograph in as well as many other places in Norway. It is a wide angle landscape for a lot of shots, but some interesting images can be found using the longer lenses. I am also using so I can review it the new Wine Country filter holder for longer exposures.

Thanks :) The water was frozen so no need for smooth it out. The shutter speed was 0.5s at f/16, ISO 100.

Thanks Kevin and good luck with the workshop. Say hello to Art from me :)
I agree longer lenses are useful and I shoot a number of them this time (you know I shoot a lot with longer lenses and love my 100-400 lens for that). Last year when I was there for research I did shoot a lot more with longer lenses due to the light and partly overcast weather.
