Fish-drying racks at Henningsvær

Henningsvær is one of the places in Lofoten where cod fishing is important. In the picture above you see some fish-drying racks, where they actually hang cod to be dried by the sun and the wind. This picture was taken from the bridge to Henningsvær in august 2006. On my way to Henningsvær, the weather was nice, but now it was a bit cloudy. I parked my car on one side and walked to the highest point of the bridge.

Photo details: EOS 30D with my EF-S 17-85 mm at f/8 with a focal length of 38 mm. With ISO at 100, the shutter time was 1/125 seconds. In this case, I used the "landscape mode", i.e. one of the more automatic "newbie" options of the basic zone.

This picture is part of my Lofoten set at flickr.
