I always say ”I learn from my mistakes”. And I do, after I’ve made the same mistake about three times. Because that’s where I am right now. First there was the hike to Skarsfjället last summer which got me feeling dizzy on the days that followed (caused by the lack of drinking and eating during…

Maybe my luck with the auroras has changed. Last winter I seemed to miss them all the time, for different reasons, but last night I feel like I hit the jackpot! It was a stunning display and I had a great a location, there was new ice covering the lake, not a cloud in sight…

I’ve noticed that my mood and photographic opportunities are directly related. When a long time passes without any good photo sessions, I start to get depressed. Then a day comes that I get no less than two reasons to exercise the camera and suddenly I’m as happy as ever! It was overcast yesterday but late…

In case you managed to miss it, here are some pictures from the best light show of the decade! Or accurately, ”the strongest geomagnetic storm of the current solar cycle” as SpaceWeather.com expressed it. But nevermind what you call it, it was s p e c t a c u l a r ! It didn’t…

Fabulous aurora tonight again, visible despite the light of the full moon. I wish I’d been at a better spot but as it so often happens, I was in a hurry so all I could do was to shoot from field close to home. In fact, I had all but given up and was actually…

It’s one of these pictures again. I’m struggling with the Tokina wideangle, I just think it behaves very erratically.

A windy and rainy morning for a change. But we got a bit of relief when we did our shooting in a cave, the only problem was that the cave wasn’t really big enough for 8 photographers and their tripods so I took my pictures in a bit of a hurry (I wasn’t inspired enough…

Wake-up call at 5am – welcome to Iceland! I wish I could say I got at least 5 hours of sleep, but it was more like 3-4 hours. But this is way too exciting to feel tired! Our first destination was the beach at Jökulsárlón. It’s pointless to say that it’s very special because every…

I had my alarm clock set at 2am to check out if the aurora would be happening. But I got a wakeup call earlier than that – Miika had noticed that the aurora were glowing wild so I put on some warm clothes (it was below freezing), picked up the camera and tripod and went…

I woke up at around 3am to go to the bathroom. As I walked through the kitchen, I looked out the window as I always do and saw aurora that were as high up in the sky as I’ve ever seen. Suddenly I didn’t feel sleepy at all, so I put on some warm clothes…
