I rose early in the morning to start my 6.5 hour ride from Bondhus to Årdalstangen, and was disappointed to see the weather hadn't changed from the night before. The pea-soup view over Hardangerfjord from the campsite didn't fill me with joy, but there was little point hanging around. I packed up the bike and left my jolly little red and yellow hobbit hut behind.

The first stop on my journey North was going to be the picturesque port town of Eidfjord, but first I had to park up and grab a photograph of Odda, its murky industrial vibe seeming so at odds with its beautiful surroundings.

These photographs were taken with my Sony A7R IV, the excellent Sony FE 24mm f/1.4 GM and 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.
