Film locations in “The Midnight Sun - Timelapse and aerial photography in 4K”: Snefjord and Havøya (Måsøy Municipality in Finnmark county)

Midnight sun (polar day) is when at least a part of the Sun's disk is visible above the horizon 24 hours of the day. These white nights without a sunset is a natural phenomenon caused by the axial tilt of the Earth and occurs in the summer months in places north of the Arctic Circle (polar circle).

The material for this project was shot during a 7000 km long road trip through amazing scenery in the summer 2016. This adventure went from Copenhagen in the south of Scandinavia through the always changing landscapes of Norway with its deep fjords, snowy mountains, glaciers and many waterfalls, through the untouched islands of Lofoten and all the way to the moon landscape at the North Cape before returning to Denmark through Finland and Sweden with thousands of lakes and deep mysterious forests. On this epic journey not only the most popular tourist places were visited. To get the right shots it was often necessary to hike for hours with heavy equipment to remote locations.

During my hiking in the nature I shot 35 thousands time-lapse photos and several hundred aerial photography videos in 4K UHD of some of Scandinavia's most beautiful spots. Afterwards this footage was combined with lot of creativity to make a series of 4K video films that show the beautiful landscapes of the Nordic countries. Nature's beauty can be so easily missed. It is my hope that these films will contribute to a deeper understanding and gratitude of the natural wonders in our world and to the preservation of our fragile environment in the future.

Famous landmarks and cities visited:
Storebæltsbroen "Great Belt Bridge" in Denmark
Kristiansand, Hardangerfjord, Hardangervidda, Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock), Trollstigen, Stigfossen, Dalsnibba, Geirangerfjord, Ørnesvingen, Atlanterhavsveien (Atlantic Ocean Road), Kristiansund, Trondheim, Svartisen National Park, Lofoten, Havøysund and Nordkapp (North Cape) in Norway
Gamla Stan (The Old Town) in Stockholm.

My top 5 awesome timelapse, hyperlapse and flow motion movies:
If you want to watch other time lapse films from Norway I can recommend NORWAY - A Time-Lapse Adventure 4K from Rustad Media and NORWAY 8K from Timestorm Films. Further I can recommend Gratitude | Louie Schwartzberg | TEDxSF where Louie Schwartzberg talks about gratitude and show his stunning time-lapses. Finally watch Dubai Flow Motion in 4K - A Rob Whitworth Film and The Mountain from Terje Sorgjerd an amazing and relaxing video of nature.

Materialet til dette projekt blev optaget under en 7000 km lang biltur gennem fantastiske naturlandskaber i sommeren 2016. Dette eventyr gik fra København i den sydlige del af Skandinavien gennem de altid skiftende landskaber i Norge med sine dybe fjorde, snedækkede bjerge, gletsjere og mange vandfald, gennem de uberørte øer ved Lofoten og hele vejen til månelandskabet ved Nordkap før jeg vendte tilbage til Danmark gennem Finland og Sverige med tusindvis af søer og dybe mystiske skove. På denne episke rejse blev ikke kun de mest populære turist steder besøgt. For at få de rigtige optagelser var det ofte nødvendigt at vandre i timevis med tungt udstyr til fjerntliggende steder.

Under min vandring i naturen skød jeg mere end 35 tusinde time-lapse billeder og flere hundrede videoer i 4K fra min drone af nogle af Skandinaviens smukkeste steder. Bagefter blev disse optagelser kombineret til en række 4K film, der viser de smukke landskaber i de nordiske lande. Naturens skønhed er let at overse. Det er mit håb, at disse film vil bidrage til en dybere forståelse og taknemmelighed for de naturlige vidundere i vores verden og til bevarelsen af ​​vores skrøbelige miljø i fremtiden.
