Greenland View from sailing boat to Ittoqqortoormiit, Scoresbysund
Ittoqqortoormiit is one of the most remote settlements in Greenland, where life is still closely connected to the surrounding Arctic landscape. Hunting and fishing remain an important part of everyday life, with traditions passed down through generations. Scattered across the rocky slopes, the colourful houses stand out against the raw landscape
Photography Tips
Sometimes things can get pretty shaky on a sailboat, so using a faster shutter speed in burst mode can help you capture a sharp, straight image. Increase your shutter speed and adjust the ISO accordingly.
You can use here a focal length between 70-200mm.
