Planning a trip to Norway this summer?
In this timelapse film you will see some of Norway´s most famous nature attractions- from the beautiful fjords, spectacular views from famous panoramic viewpoints like Dalsnibba in Geiranger all the way up to Galdhøpiggen (highest mountain peak in Norway and Northern Europe) just to mention a few of the locations in this film.

This is my debut timelapse video, and the making of this film has been a real challenge. Living in Oslo (250-500 km away from the scenery portrayed in this film), I had to make 11 trips over a period of 15 months to fullfill this project. I had to visit and revisit locations which were not easily reached considering the the heavy photo gear I was carrying.

If you want more detailed information about the locations and nature attractions in this video, check out NORWAY-TRAVEL GUIDE vimeo.com/32381957 (nature attractions and locations are added in the right corner)

Special thanks to:
Tore Johnsen who spent many hours to create and synchronize his beautiful music into this film and my parents for the support. Also, a HUGH thanks to all the timelapse enthusiasts on forum.timescapes.org/phpBB3 for sharing there valuable knowledge.

Motion controll:
Dynamic Perception Stage Zero Dolly
Enhanced Rotary Table

Hope you enjoy it
Morten Berg

  • Morten Berg plus 3 months ago
    Thank you Martin. I really had to work hard to capture some of these sequences, especially the shots from Galdhøpiggen (northern europe´s highest mountain peak) in the end of the film, which I had to visit twice.

    Awesome! Beautiful landscapes and great timelapses. Sometimes it looks like the mountains are on fire by the red sunlight and the clouds. Added to vimeo.com/channels/hdtime and vimeo.com/channels/1341

    Fabulous work... lot of nice cloud and reflection shots... surprised I did not see a night timelapse shot of stars reflecting off the smooth waters in the fjords.

    I ♥ Norway

  • Morten Berg plus 3 months ago
    Thanks for nice comments, everyone.

    Joe- stars reflecting in the fjords would have been really nice, and was certainly on my whislist. However, I had to battle the worst summer and autumn in modern history, so I didn´t succeed on that one. Wish for better luck next year.

  • Nick Russill plus 3 months ago
    Well done - I really enjoyed that. Most time-lapse movies get a bit dull in the middle, but the cloud formations and mists were captivating. I've done geophysics on Galdhøpiggen looking at Permafrost, so it was a nice memory.

    Fantastisk flott arbeid Morten!! Ja Norge er vakkert, og vi har mye skyer desverre, men det gjør seg i denne sammenhengen! Hærlig musikk som passet bra!

    mvh.

  • Håvard Fandrem plus 1 month ago
    Veldig vakkert! Det må kreve mye dedikasjon å jobbe med et prosjekt over så lang tid.

    Kan du svare på hvor mye dollyen med motor har kostet deg?
  • Morten Berg plus 1 month ago
    Tusen takk for hyggelig kommentar Håvard. Jeg husker ikke helt nøyaktig hva dollyen kostet, men med moms og frakt minnes jeg det var mellom 8-10.000 NOK.
  • Håvard Fandrem plus 1 month ago
    Bare hyggelig. Ja, det var det jeg fryktet. Blir nok kunstig panning på meg i en god stund framover.
