Kannesteinen, Måløy, Norway. It was actually Dag Ole Nordhaug who took this shot. He went down there among the raging waves first, and when he was done shooting with his Hasselblad he was soaked. We thus agreed upon that there was no point in having two soaked photographers so I handed him my Pentax. Besides, my balance isn’t what it once were so I was slightly worried I would go head first into the waves. Thanks Dag Ole! I have edited the image, though. A Nisi 6 stop filter was used extend the exposure time. The waves left not few waterdrops on the filter even though Dag Ole wiped as a true hero. In other words, some cloning was necessary. Pure luck, of course, that the moon appeared when it cleared up after the heavy rain.
