One the first I tried to make a local version of this post: http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=611160&highlight=arcticshooter

But it didn't turn out the way I wanted.

Heldge, that 1st one doesn't even compare with the pics in your link, those shots are awesome and I quite like the non-HDR version the best. That cabin is like "in your face", it's too bad the sky and tree are a little wonky, awesome anyhow!

The pano hardly looks like a pano. You did a great job of getting it level. Amazing detail in the red log house too. :)

Thank you for your comments.
Trust me, there where lot of cloning to get it to look ok. So much disturbance in the original pano. I could have just used the 10mm and stepped 10 yards back. But it looks better as a pano.
The red log hut is my favorite. This is actually part of a museum. They also have a smith hut(?), actually a guy was working inside while I took these. Could hear him hammering away on some hot metal.
In the boathouse you see at the end, they got an old large row/sailboat. Based on the same construction as the vikings had.

Amazing that they sailed those open boats so far.

Very nice - you have some great scenery to shoot in your neck of the woods. I took a look at your flickr and how about posting more of those awesome northern lights shots. Oh yeah, I just took a peak and see you have added more of those - I am back to your flickr to gaze at those northern lights photo's, thanks just love those shots.

They actually have some version of this boat that is partly built in. They used them at winter for cod fishing. But that is long time ago.

Thank you. The problem is to see them all...
