There is a way that nature speaks, that land speaks. Most of the time we are simply not patient enough, quiet enough, to pay attention to the story.

Our life is an apprenticeship to the truth that around every circle another can be drawn; that there is no end in nature, but every end is a beginning, and under every deep a lower deep opens. -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Kristiansand offers considerable wilderness experience to allow you to experience the beauty of Northern Norway. There are mountains plunging into the sea from hundreds of metres, fjords, tall mountain peaks, northern lights and midnight sun.

Photographer: Arnt Edvin Eriksen:  I am a Creative Art Director, Social Media Evangelist, Ducati-riding family dad with a need for  too much gadgets. I am a proud Nikon owner, always had Nikon, from my first F40x up to my D80i. I’m insane when it comes to lenses, only the best is good enough - which my wallet tends to complain about

When I am not working I am with my family- I love to spend time with them and explore life and nature. I also spend a great deal of time working on my boat and taking it out to the sea. I am surrounded by nature and I cannot help but document its beauty.

Photographer: Dave Malby -

I have been an amateur photographer since I was 12. At that age,
I had my own black and white dark room.  Last year I actually sold some of my
photographs, so technically I am now a professional.  I use different digital
cameras but prefer to use SLR’s such as my Canon Rebel XT.

I have taken photographs of about anything, however my favorite photographs are nature such as
weather, clouds and animals. Recently I have been experimenting with macro photography
and digital effects using color keying / green screen.

In 2006, I evented the CamStand, a device for mounting a camera in close
proximity to the object being photographed. I am not afraid to experiment, I
realize that photography is a art and that since is an art, photographs are
subjective. I believe a good photograph is interesting, pleasing to the eye
and a great photograph makes you emotional just like a great painting or
great music. Great photos are rare!

I took this shot at the Botanical Gardens in San Diego using a macro setup. The flower is about the size of a quarter to put it in perspective.

Brett Weatherington, I am a 19 year old amateur photographer on the rise. I’m from San Diego, but attend the University of California Santa Barbara as a biology major. I love being able to manipulate things solely through my camera into perspectives people have never seen. I am truly passionate about nature photography, but more than willing to dwell into other areas. I shoot primarily with a Nikon D200 and a wide array of lenses and am hoping to someday reach a professional status.

I think the results are great. THE CAMSTAND allowed me to focus on objects I normally would have great difficulty in capturing.

Getting THE CAMSTAND changed my whole presecpitive on photography. Now I can get closer, and get focused like never before.

KENT ARLINGTON-  I am a photographer by trade - photography is one of my favorite things to do in life. I love saturated colours which I get using low speed films and polarizing filters. Lately my newest obession is Macro Photography. I love the results, I love the new way I can take pictures. It is like the world has just opened up to me again.
