Beautiful photo:)
Takker og bukker granne!
🙂
It is beautiful, and a wonderful capture. Did you use additional light? What time of day was it?
I only used natural light. It was around mid-day, with sun and clouds.
The golden on that branch makes me think you have added something in post-processing. It is lovely.
I just shot in raw and brought out the detail from the branch that in the jpeg file was hidden in darkness.
Here’s the original file:

Thank you very much Max 🙂 You did some post over-exposure I guess, or you even highlighted the branch – selective exposure and lightening? It’s really cool of you to show me your original file 🙂
My pleasure Paula.
I didn’t add any brushes to selected parts of the image, I just used overall settings:
General:
added contrast (+45)
lowered highlights (-86)
increased shadows (+95)
adjusted whites (+26) & blacks (+14)
added clarity (+36)
Tone Curve:
highlights (+90)
lights (-22
darks (+40)
shadows (-22)
At the end I sharpened the image and added a tiny bit of lens vignetting.
😀 I appreciate this a lot, Max. Tusen takk
Thanks a lot for this tutorial, it’s highly appreciated, Max.
It’s one of the nicest shots of Tönsberg I have ever seen.

Know Tønsberg very well – an idyllic town in “winter dress” too… 🙂
Yes, it looks very nice when it’s covered in snow.
Wow! that’s an awesome capture! surreal almost!

Beautiful photo! Great composition, I especially like the tree wrapped around the cloud and the white clouds and blue next to it…. Perfect, CG!
Thanks for the wonderful feedback Amy!
Lovely light!
I don’t know Norway all that well, but the name Tönsberg I remember well from my working-life. Perhaps there’s a smelteverk or something similar.
I don’t know much about Tønsberg and nothing abut the industries there, but here’s some info from Wikipedia (in your native tongue):
Tønsberg grundades år 871, då som Tunsberg, enligt Snorre Sturlassons konungasagor och räknas som Norges äldsta stad. Arkeologiska utgrävningar tyder dock på att staden växte fram under slutet av 1000-talet. På 1200-talet lät Håkon Håkonsson uppföra en borg där, på ett berg i dag med namnet Slottsfjellet. Hans dotter var känd som prinsessa Kristina av Tunsberg. Hon gifte sig med prinsen av Kastilien, men dog ett kort tag därefter. Borgen med alla hus upp på berget brändes ner av svenskarna 1503. År 1536 brann det återigen, denna gången brann hela staden ner, utom två kyrkor. År 1671 var det ett förslag på att avveckla hela staden, men borgarna protesterade och förslaget föll. Staden behöll även efter detta sin roll som en av de viktigaste kuststäderna i Norge.
Ekonomi
Tønsberg spelar fortfarande en roll som industriellt och maritimt centrum med sina vitt skilda aktiviteter som järnvaror, skeppsvarv, pappersframställning, läderarbete och bryggerier. Staden är synnerligen känd för sina silverprodukter.:
How charming that town looks all blanketed in snow….
Yes it does. Thanks for the comment and visit!
Great picture Guzman. I was down there just two weeks ago, both my daughters live in Sandefjord 🙂
Sandefjord seems like a nice place. I’ve only been to Tønsberg once and that was when I shot this photo.
I like the editing and the curl of the branch !
very beautiful.
looks like a post card.

Such a beautiful picture.
Thank you MothersHeart!
The light is exquisite!
A beautiful winter scene Cardinal!
Beautiful
It’s a nice shot and I like the way that you handled the editing, thanks for showing the original file.
No problem. I hope it can be helpful 🙂
What a fairy tale landscape! Beautifully composed and processed.
It looks like it’s in one of those snow globes. 😀
Nice photo. I used a 400D before I got a 5D.
I still use my old camera sometimes. For example if it’s raining heavily (none of my cameras are waterproof).
