_Before my last trip to Lofoten I was lucky enough to be given a Lee Big Stopper as a present.  I had always wanted to do some long exposures so was very excited about owning such a piece of kit. This was my first attempt, maybe it was beginner’s luck, but I am extremely pleased with the result and have done nothing in post on this except for taking out a small post in the bottom corner.

To take this photograph I had to stand on the side of the fjord with a howling Arctic wind - I did use a tripod and my body as a windshield but am actually amazed that it didn’t come out as one big blur!
