Björkö, Sweden: Sunset Landscape Photography in the Gothenburg Archipelago

A family holiday on Björkö became the perfect excuse to squeeze in a couple of sunset landscape photography sessions in Sweden's beautiful Gothenburg Archipelago. From old boats and coastal huts to rocky shorelines and wildflowers, I'll walk you through my compositions, compare different creative choices, and explain the decisions that shaped the images. A few have become some of my favourites of the year so far. Looking back at that first evening, I realise I was so focused on making the photographs I had planned that I didn't fully appreciate just how incredible the light had become. The second evening, I slowed down, explored further, and found a composition just in time. It's a reminder that sometimes the experience itself deserves as much attention as the images we bring home. — Olivier Mognard | Nature Photographer 📷 More photos on my Instagram: www.instagram.com/omognard/ Music by Alana Jordan: https://pixabay.com/users/alanajordan...
