Explore Bugøynes and Varangerfjord with your camera! The picturesque charming village by the Arctic Ocean offers a wonderful setting for photography as well as a small break from everyday life. October is a peaceful but dramatic time to capture the arctic sceneries, wind, rain, and the fragile nature. Also the evenings are full of possibilities to photograph the Northern Lights. We will visit scenic spots around the village and Varangerfjord by foot and car. Optionally, if the weather permits it, we will also have the chance to participate in a King Crab safari. Be inspired by the nature and the unique geology of Northern Norway and participate in our first ever photography course – held by Wenche Myhre, an experienced photographer who has been photographing the area for years.
Who is the weekend for?
The weekend is suitable for both beginners and more advanced photographers who share the love for arctic sceneries and photographing. We’ll be spending as much time as possible outdoors to experience the changes in weather and light over the course of the day. You’ll be given guidance and feedback on the images you create by our photography guide Wenche Myhre. But the main aim is to have a rewarding and fun weekend with like-minded people where we learn also from each other. At the end of the weekend we can gather together for a picture viewing evening at Bistroen with good food.
