It appears that the weather hasn’t been so nice in the lowlands either. There was a lot of snow when I got home, but now the temperatures are up again and the snow is disappearing fast. It helps that it’s been windy… now that’s a familiar tune… But now that I had a vacation day…

It was really beautiful in the mountains today. The wind had quieted down and the forest was covered in snow, I hated it that I had to go back home. I made a short skiing trip to get a few landscape shots, my left foot not allowing me to go very far. And anyway, I…

I continued with sightseeing today, but this time with some members from the camera club. It was actually a mini-tour, we visited five different spots. It didn’t start out too well when we got to the first spot – it was supposed to be a fine view, but honestly, it was marginally better than what…

So, no more bird shooting for me. Last night I got startled just when I was about to fall asleep, by a mouse inside the walls. Last winter I had big problems with the mice, thankfully they never got in the flat but they did chew up the network cable that goes through a hole…

Going fullframe meant that I might occasionally feel that 300mm is not enough as a telephoto lens (although, if I had a 1200mm lens, I would probably occasionally think it’s not enough anyway). I have a Kenko Pro 1.4x teleconverter which I hardly ever used with the 40D. It didn’t seem worthwhile to lose a…

A five day weekend. I’ll take that. We have lots of snow now and the weather has been perfect for skiing and more and more snowmobiles are out as well, so I have some trails to follow. I haven’t gotten around to getting a trail map yet so I’ve just followed whatever tracks I’ve found.…

I noticed a few days ago that I had some Eurasian tree sparrows visiting the feeder. While the bird is not uncommon, it was just very nice to see a new species come by. Naturally, my goal for today was to get a picture of one. As it turned out, getting a picture of one…

I started my bird feeding a few weeks ago with just one small feeder to see how it goes, and I found quite quickly that I have a problem with magpies. Those birds are smart enough to figure out how to get the seeds even when they’re too big to perch on those little sticks…

There’s a lot of agriculture in Föne, or at least has been. A lot of fields, some of them clearly abandoned by now, some that might or might not be used, and some with electric fences. Will be interesting to see what happens in the summer and what kind of animals and how many will…

Bad weather is supposed to be the photographer’s best friend but today I have serious doubts about it. Snow, sleet, rain. Not that it would stop me, of course, so I went for a walk. Since there’s almost nothing to see anywhere at this point in time, I walked down to the flood plains (don’t…
