My holiday is by no means over yet. I had a day of rest at home, but now I’m heading to Funäsdalen until Sunday. I’m not planning to do any extensive hiking – 54 km earlier this week will suffice for exercise – but I guess it’s inevitable that I will be walking at least a little bit in search of the best compositions.
A few years ago I found a spot to photograph Mittåkläppen. It’s really actually a morning location, but the mountainside was still lit when I arrived at noon-ish. Unfortunately the light was very fleeting so after a few efforts I gave up, hoping that the sun would show itself on Saturday morning which I’ve originally planned for this photo (tomorrow will be overcast/rainy).
After some scouting (found a nice spot for afternoon light) I went to Djupdalsvallen to get the waffle I’ve been dreaming about. Yes I have a thing about these waffles, and so would you, if you ever had a waffle at Djupdalsvallen. It’s special.
I had hoped for the light to happen in the meanwhile, but no such luck. So I settled with more scouting, and it turned out to be very profitable indeed! I found some killer spots, just add light. There were a few patches of light here and there, actually, so I waited patiently (make that about 30 mins, that’s all the patience I can muster) but I never got both my foreground and background lit at the same time and looking at the cloud cover, it wasn’t going to improve. But I’ll be back for sure!
