Six themed shots from the archives at www.timbirdphotography.com

Helicopter rides are relatively inexpensive in the Faroes, especially if you share with others. They’re a widespread form of transport for crofters, for example, to get from the capital, Tórshavn (the only capital in the world with free local buses?), to the more remote islands. When I booked the helicopter with a couple of other photographers I knew that the clouds can take a while to clear over these rugged North Atlantic islands. The conditions were perfect when we finally took to the air – the only way to get a full perspective of the spectacularly dramatic and wild scenery. An unforgettable ride.
