Herføl Getaway

As announced earlier I have been working on a movie captured at Herføl a little while ago.

My Final Cut skills are not all that, hence it has consumed a lot of time the last few days to tweak it the way I want to.

You can see the final result below, a movie compilation integrating stills, movieclips and timelapses from the island of Herføl, in the Hvaler district, Norway.
The timelapses are based on both ordinary and pinhole captures. I was eager to test the pinhole version as I´ve never seen it done before. I love mixing old techniques with the latest of technological features. The timelapses are shot with a Canon 5D MKII, the movieclips are shot with a Canon Powershot G12. The stills are captured with both cameras.
My target was to capture the moods of this magnificent island during wintertime, a season where it´s almost drained of people at all.

I hope you all will enjoy the movie and hopefully the beauty comes across to you as intended. Underneath you will find some more information about the island itself.

About the island of Herføl

Herføl is the most southern inhabited island in the municipality of Hvaler, in Østfold county, Norway. Situated on the borderline to Sweden. It´s 1,9 km² in size and has 14 inhabitants (source: wikipedia).

Herføl used to have a customs station and was a very important place in the fishing industry. Today Herføl has grown into a summer and tourism place during summertime. At the Herføl Marina you´ll find a grocery store, kiosk, dinery and a pub, all on a jetty by the fresh sea.

In order to get to the island, you would have to get on a ferry. Vehicles are not allowed on the island, this is the real beauty, which makes it magnificently quiet and well suited for great recreation.
