Hi all,


I'm new to this forum and want to introduce myself with a few pictures. I am primarily a landscape photographer. Last year I was hiking for two weeks in a remote area in the north of Sweden: Sarek national park. My X-T1 accompanied me with three lenses (14-23-56) and tripod. In the following a few impressions. The image of the northern lights was not easy to frame without an optical viewfinder as the EVF was almost totally black.


View of the Laitaure river delta, 700 m below (14mm, f7.1,  1/45, ISO 200)

Morning view of the Rapadalen valley (56mm, f/8, 1/17, ISO 200)
 

Northern lights above Rapadalen (14mm, f/2.8, 10s, ISO 3200)
 
Feel free to comment or ask questions.

Three more images from mount Skierffe:
 

14mm, f/5.6, 1/60, ISO 200
 

14mm, f/8, 1/30, ISO 200
 

23mm, f/4, 1/70, ISO 200

Thank you all, I'm really happy that you like the images ! If you have any criticism do not hesitate to say so because this is how I learn the most.
 
 
I would never leave my tripod at home but this is a matter of the personal preferences/style. For example, I would not have been able to get the images of the aurora without tripod (IBIS does not help there). I also like to use ND filters during daytime which requires longer exposures. A tripod is of course a huge weight need to carry all your gear including tent, sleeping bag and food.
 
 
14mm, f/2.8, 10s, ISO 3200
 
 
 
Yes, it was always off on the tripod. That's why my tripod images are mostly sharp. I had issues with handholding faster shutter speeds. When they were slower, where OIS is most effective, the images were usually sharp.
 
BTW: The primes never disappointed me.

The area I crossed is almost untouched by civilization which is very rare in Europe. There is no touristic infrastructure and no marked trails. This makes a hike in Sarek a special experience. Due to their low weight and high IQ the Fuji X cameras are perfectly suited for such an endeavor.
 
Let's continue:
 

Evening light in Sarvesvágge (14mm, f/11, 1/2s, ISO 200)
 
 

View from my campsite in the upper Njoatsosvágge (23mm, f/4, 1/210, ISO 200)

Let's continue with some additional pictures. I forgot to mention that some of the pictures were taken with polarizer and/or ND filter.
 

Rapaselet from Snávvávágge (23mm, f/8, 1/20, ISO 200)
 

The Skårki mountain range is mirrored in a small lake (14mm, f/8, 20s, ISO 200)
 

Upper Njoatsosvágge, stream leaving the lake Lulep Njoatsosjávrre (14mm, f/8, 1/3s, ISO 200)
 

Lower Njoatsosvagge near Goabrekbákte (14mm, f/8, 1/45, ISO 200)

The lake Stuor Dáhtá in the morning. It is located near the Kungsleden trail and already outside of the national park (56mm, f/4, 1/160, ISO 200)
 

View towards the confluence of the rivers Ráhpaädno and Sarvesjåhkå (23mm, f/8, 1/40, ISO 200)

And some further landscape shots:
 

Morning view of Tjuoldavágge, in the background Mount Tsahtsa (panorama stitched from two shots)
 

The summits of Unna Stuollo and Skájdetjåhkkå in the evening light (56mm, f/8, 1/30, ISO 200)
 

Detail view of Rapaselet, a delta area in Rapadalen (56mm, f/8, 1/10, ISO 200)
 
It is difficult to convey a scale in such photographs as above. The trees you see in the image above are about 3 to 6 metres (10 to 20 feet) tall.
