What a treat! Got see a pair of cranes with a pair of hatchlings! I found the cranes yesterday when I was cycling, one of the cranes was incubating. I figured that it must be very close to hatching time by now so it was necessary to go back there today, with the big lens, and…

We got another boat ride! It was a last minute arrangement since we had a day to spare, and so we got to go to a fishing village (Oqaatsut, or Rodebay) some way north from Ilulissat. I did take some iceberg pictures on the way, but it wasn’t so nice to be on the deck…

The morning was sunny, and I didn’t feel that I needed pictures of icebergs in that light so I did a walk around town. Nice walk, but I really don’t get any photography done in urban environments. In the afternoon we walked to the same spot we already visited on Saturday, but this time we…

Switched to another new lens, Sigma 70-200/2.8 OS. I had a particular subject in mind today, but when I got close to it, I saw some geese. Since I now had 200mm (x1.6) at my disposal, I took out the camera to see if I could make anything out of the geese but then I noticed these mallards…

Sat by the feeder again, no sign of the long-tailed tits but I was glad to see a willow tit at long last! And I finally got some pictures of the crested tit as well. * * * The pattern is amazing, it took me a moment to figure out why the face looked so…

Having the bird feeder in the forest is not so good for photography… really dark. Especially on a dark day like this. But it’s fun, so I sat there for a while and tried to get a picture of the crested tit, without success. The nuthatches on the other hand are easy. There are at…

We had time for some photography in the morning, but it didn’t require driving anywhere. They had Icelandic horses at the guesthouse and they were really friendly, so you could go in their paddock and then have hard time photographing them because they came right up to you to. One of them tried to eat…

Here it finally is, the much talked about blurry cow! Having done panning and shaking, I used the zoom technique this time. Ideally, you would be shooting from a tripod to keep the camera steady when you rotate the zoom ring but I did this handheld. After all, the goal was to create a blurry…

I was determined to create a blurry cow picture today, but of course when you most need a cow, they are nowhere to be seen. Luckily there was a really nice rainbow instead so I got my 365 anyway. When I was almost back at home, I saw the sun break through a gap in…

So, my choices at the moment are either cows or blurry pictures. I actually considered creating a blurry cow for a moment, but came to my senses. So, a cow it is, and it had a lot of friends in the field and as I was standing there and shooting, they seemed to find me…
