After several consecutive 250+ mile days, it was time to give my poor arse a break, so I took a short ride to nearby Flåm to experience its famous mountain railway. On my way, I had to stop for a quick photograph; the view from Årdalstangen over the eerily calm Sognefjord was just beautiful in the morning light, and I was treated to one of the strongest rainbows I've ever seen.

These photographs were taken with my Sony A7R IV and the Sony FE 24mm f/1.4 GM. Of course, shots like these need a circular polariser to really make them pop; I'm currently using Kase Wolverine magnetic filters.

About the photographer

I'm Alex Nichol. I'm an amateur photographer from the North of England. For me, photography is a way to share what I love most about the world. That includes everything, from family and friends, to wild animals and breathtaking places... or maybe just how the sun twinkles on a weed in my back garden. It's all fair game.
