The weather is finally improving! We got some sunshine already in the morning, but it kept coming and going in the fog. We did the Lake Minnewanka loop and although it initially was cold and foggy, it got truly magical by the time we reached the lake itself. The fog kept constantly changing, hiding and…

The day was just as grey as we were afraid of. Just some light drizzle, but very low cloud so the only thing clear was that we couldn’t shoot any landscape today. We decided to drive through the Kootenay NP, which normally is good for wildlife sightings. Except on a day like this, not even…

There’s plenty of interesting things to see here, natural and unnatural alike. We had decided to skip the further exploration of the Glacier NP so we had an extra day at Yoho NP instead, and this gave us a chance to hike up to the Hoodoos. The weather is great – warm! – but the…

I’ve never been much for studio and still-life photography. Just couldn’t see the point. The charm with nature photography is to actually be out there in the nature. But lately I’ve started wondering if I should try to explore new aspects of photography so I decided to build a mock studio to see if I…

I finally got my long-awaited 24-105mm f4L lens, it will replace the 17-85mm as my all-round lens as I speculated last year. Add an extension tube and it should double as a close-up lens, so I can hike light with just one lens. But speaking of weight, that’s the first thing you notice with the…

The discussion starter makes a point for not following the rules and provides an example (which, by the way, just strengthens the case for the rules). The people who have responded say pretty much what I think about the issue as…

I went out right after sunrise. This the first time since the new snow that I got to see the scenery in daylight and I must say that I love it to bits. This is what I have been waiting for! I wouldn’t mind having a lot more snow, but this will do just fine…

One thing that often comes to mind when viewing beginners’ landscape photographs is that they chose the wrong time to take the picture. It takes a while to learn what difference light makes and depending on the subject, there is a number of other factors playing in. Say for example, if you want to show…

I finally got published! …and I paid for it myself. I think it’s so cool with these new photo print services these days, as soon as I had heard about the possibility of publishing/printing your own book, I started planning mine. With the Christmas coming up, I wanted to get one done as a pressie…

The other day I drove past a small river called Hoan. It reminded me of an image I took there a few years ago in the winter – I liked the way there were gaps in the ice and the flowing water could be seen underneath. I called the photo ”Life, under the surface” and…
