If I had used a slightly warmer WB in this picture, it would be exactly like a greyscale – I tested in Lightroom and when I flipped the greyscale option on and off, there was absolutely no change. But I decided to leave it in colour and just a little bit on the cold side,…

Did a long skiing trip today, over 16 km (which qualifies as a long trip for me). I’m calling this the ”three lakes trail” because it crosses over three lakes (Älgsjön, Råtjärnen and Öratjärnen), it’s the same trip I did last week but this time I extended it a little bit to explore the trail…

It has been snowing quite a lot but the wind has also been quite heavy, so the landscape is once again not looking as nice as I would hope for. But that doesn’t stop me from going skiing of course, it just means that it’s harder to find any good pictures. I had a really…

When I go hiking or skiing, I like to do a loop and there’s a couple of loops around here that are only accessible during winter. The other one is too long for snowshoes and I only did it a couple of times on skis and to be honest, I’ve no idea why I did…

I’m not a Christmas person by any definition, but I know it’s important for my parents so I have a tradition of going to Finland every other Christmas. Since my parents live in a middle of a busy town, I knew beforehand that this would be no photography trip and thus travelled light with only…

I posted a collection of my Photo of the Month pictures last year, so I thought I could look back on 2010 as well. This was a bit of a low-key year for me, there was a lot of personal stuff going on that left me uninspired many times. But I did get in some…

It feels like the winter season is officially open when I do my first trip to the Moose Lake. The snow mobile trails are not prepared yet but there’s always some people who venture out as soon as the ice is thick enough to carry a snow mobile over the lakes, so I had some…

A couple of years ago I wrote a lot about skiing, or rather, the problems I had with it. Those pesky ski boots just kept chafing and gave me blisters for every trip I made and I finally decided that I had had enough of the pain and gave up. But the thing is that…

It was finally a sunny day, and what happens? I’m sick. Three of my colleagues were in different stages of having a cold this week and it was apparently impossible to dodge the bullet so now I’m just hoping that I don’t get any worse than I am right now. Last night was bad enough.…

The snow cover isn’t very thick yet, but it varies from place to place even within a small area – altitude plays a big role. When you drive north from Loos, you get to over 500m above sea level and in winter it shows quite clearly. Already now there’s more snow and we also found…
