Another day in the Faroe Islands greeted us with a familiar sight – rain and no sign of a sunrise. Disappointed but undeterred, we turned our attention to a different aspect of photography: the art of post-processing and photo editing. Our guide, recognizing the opportunity to enhance our skills, provided us with a lesson on transforming our raw captures into stunning works of art.

The interplay of light and shadow, amplified by the shifting clouds and sporadic bursts of sunshine, created a scene of sublime beauty.
