The Light Of Day X
Photography by Frank Hoogeboom (Netherlands)

Amid the untouched nature of the Faroe Islands, a landscape unfolds that is both raw and breathtakingly serene. Under a dramatic sky filled with grey clouds and soft rays of sunlight, a solitary sheep grazes peacefully on the expansive, rolling hills. The landscape is traversed by a shimmering body of water, winding its way towards the horizon, where rocky coastlines majestically rise. This image captures the essence of the Faroes: a place where nature and simplicity coexist in harmony, and time seems to stand still.

Shot on at the end of an extensive hike, looking back into the distance. The sun has been out all day but decided to hide behind a massive cloud now, creating nice rays of sunlight. The sheep in the foreground briefly looked at us but decided to mind its own business.

Canon EOS 6D with Canon EF24-105 F/4L IS USM lens, ND grad filter, handheld.

Handheld shot. If I remember correctly I used a ND grad filter to darken the sky a bit. Post-processing was as usually done in Lightroom and Photoshop.
