Three panoramas, three perspectives, and maybe two minutes of usable light across all of them. From above the cabin area near Hemsedal, the ultra-wide lens takes in the full width of the Hallingdal valley in both directions.
The first frame looks down across the hytter and into the valley beyond, the cabins still catching sunset warmth while the valley floor has moved on. The second and third frames turn away from the cabins entirely, one looking left, the other right, covering the same valley from opposite ends. The light is almost gone in both. The valley floor sits in natural shadow, and only the upper slopes still hold a thin line of gold that is visibly shrinking between frames.
There is no trick to these. Wide angle, maximum coverage, let the valley do the work. Hemsedal sits in a part of Hallingdal where the mountains are high enough to cut the sun early but spaced far enough apart to give you a proper panoramic canvas. In late autumn, that combination means the difference between lit and unlit can be a hundred vertical metres on the same slope.
One to two minutes between the first and last frame. You can watch the light climb the slopes in real time, and then it is just gone.
