Beaches Attractions In Gjesdal Municipality

Månafossen // Norwegian Waterfall Adventure// Drone Adventure

Månafossen is a waterfall located in Frafjord in Gjesdal municipality, Rogaland. The waterfall has a free fall of 92 meters. The view to the waterfall is difficult to access as it is steep and rough up to the viewpoint where you can look at the falls. At the steepest places, stairs and chains are set up so that you can reach the view.

Although the waterfall is difficult to reach, it is a very popular tourist destination, as it is considered one of the country's most beautiful and powerful waterfalls.

Me and my best buddy Oddbjørn had wanted to photograph and film this beautiful waterfall for a long time andd were excited as we set out on this Waterfall Adventure

And Månafossen did not dissapoint nor did my Phantom 4 Pro making a cinematic dronevideo.

One of my all-time best trips and shots taken with Phantom 4 Pro.

Gloppedalsura

Gloppedalsura, or Gloppura, is a scree in Gloppedalen, Rogaland, Norway, in the Gjesdal and Bjerkreim municipalities. It is one of the largest screes in Scandinavia and Northern Europe.

During the invasion of Norway in WWII, 250 norwegian soldiers used the scree as a natural fortress and held back two german batalions. One norwegian soldier lost his life in the battle. Losses on the german side are uncertain and varies between 12 and 44 soldiers.

The material for this project was shot during a 7000 km long road trip through amazing scenery in the summer 2016. This adventure went from Copenhagen in the south of Scandinavia through the always changing landscapes of Norway with its deep fjords, snowy mountains, glaciers and many waterfalls, through the untouched islands of Lofoten and all the way to the moon landscape at the North Cape before returning to Denmark through Finland and Sweden with thousands of lakes and deep mysterious forests. On this epic journey not only the most popular tourist places were visited. To get the right shots it was often necessary to hike for hours with heavy equipment to remote locations.

During my hiking in the nature I shot 35 thousands time-lapse photos and several hundred aerial photography videos in 4K of some of Scandinavia's most beautiful spots. Afterwards this footage was combined to make a series of 4K video films that show the beautiful landscapes of the Nordic countries. Nature's beauty can be so easily missed. It is my hope that these films will contribute to a deeper understanding and gratitude of the natural wonders in our world and to the preservation of our fragile environment in the future.

Materialet til dette projekt blev optaget under en 7000 km lang biltur gennem fantastiske naturlandskaber i sommeren 2016. Dette eventyr gik fra København i den sydlige del af Skandinavien gennem de altid skiftende landskaber i Norge med sine dybe fjorde, snedækkede bjerge, gletsjere og mange vandfald, gennem de uberørte øer ved Lofoten og hele vejen til månelandskabet ved Nordkap før jeg vendte tilbage til Danmark gennem Finland og Sverige med tusindvis af søer og dybe mystiske skove. På denne episke rejse blev ikke kun de mest populære turist steder besøgt. For at få de rigtige optagelser var det ofte nødvendigt at vandre i timevis med tungt udstyr til fjerntliggende steder.

Under min vandring i naturen skød jeg mere end 35 tusinde time-lapse billeder og flere hundrede videoer i 4K fra min drone af nogle af Skandinaviens smukkeste steder. Bagefter blev disse optagelser kombineret til en række 4K film, der viser de smukke landskaber i de nordiske lande. Naturens skønhed er let at overse. Det er mit håb, at disse film vil bidrage til en dybere forståelse og taknemmelighed for de naturlige vidundere i vores verden og til bevarelsen af ​​vores skrøbelige miljø i fremtiden.
