Yes, it is indeed Bergen, or a suburb to Bergen
Tusen takk!

That is a pretty awesome cloud shot! I could look at a scene like that for hours.

I think the emphasis on the sky is wonderful.
A technique I've learnt the hard way (no teachers available ) is to duplicate the original layer, set it to screen with, for instance, a 50% opacity level, and then just use the eraser on the sky on this second layer. This way the landscape will become brighter and the sky keeps its original brightness.
Try it out with some photos if you would like.

Hmm, I'll might try that out. I've been doing some experiment using layers with different levels, brightness/contrast, and then add a layermask to make the prefered areas visual... I'm learning the hard way too - try and fail (or succeed)...

Thanks a lot for the input

The sky here is really nice but i feel the landscape is too dark . Maybe next used a Graduated ND Filter... or use HDR or somethign other processing maybe.

well, I agree. I've been planning to buy a filter for quite some time now, so I probably going to get one soon But for this photo I had to sacrifice the landscape, to be able to get the sky as "spectacular" as possible. Concerning the hdr possibility, I'm not yet that comfortable with the technique... but I'm working on it
Thanks a lot for the input. I appreciate that

HDR isnt to hard, I just a technique of combining multiple exposures

Or you just have the amazing sky on one shot and another one with longer exposure for the city and just combine then together in photoshop, anythign is possible with the magic program haha

Yeah, I've tried some hdr before, but with mixed results. I might pick it up again. Anyway, in this picture I've acually combined two different versions of the same raw file to try to achieve lighter landscape, but the picture was to underexposed from the beginning and I only have this one version
But I thought the sky was so great, I just couldn't throw it away,hehe
