  • It was another clear night so I headed back to the same night photography spot as on Saturday. There were no clouds, except towards the end of my session when a thin strip showed up in the north, not enough to be bothersome but it did catch the light pollution. And speaking of that, it…

  • My 365 project has reached #50 so I thought I would take a look at how it’s gone. I think the ”terms” I set in the beginning was a mistake, or at least overly ambitious. I should’ve known that I would be forced to do a lot of shooting indoors and I know I totally…

  • It would’ve been the best aurora I have ever seen. I knew that the aurora would put on a good display tonight, but I also knew that the weather forecast said that it would get cloudy. So I waited nervously until it got dark enough and started shooting, there was no doubt that something was…

  • I would normally not think that -20°C is any temperature for outdoors activities. But these clear cloudless nights are so rare that I felt it was a shame to waste it, especially now that there was a little bit of moonlight (37% crescent). I was determined to do some starry sky photography and had a…

  • I had some trouble falling asleep last night, this Iceland trip kept playing in my head. Inevitably while awake, I felt the nature calling and when I was going through the kitchen, I was wondering why the sky seemed so light. On with the glasses – and I was looking at just about the best…

  • Fox. Check. Ravine. Check. Full moon. Check. Clear sky. Check. Big Dipper. Check. Aurora. Check. For the longest time, I looked like it would be overcast today. But miracles do happen and the weather forecast indicated that it would be clear in the evening and sure enough, it was. The full moon was the reason…

  • With the big solar eruption the other day, the forecast for aurora was good last night. I wish the weather forecast had been equally good, but there were some clouds which could ruin the whole thing. I decided to try it anyway, I mean if I got a break in the clouds then it would…

  • I was supposed to be studying last night, but at 8pm I couldn’t resist checking the aurora forecast and it looked like there would be a chance of some activity. So I packed up and left – I mean give me a break, I had been sitting in front of the computer for 13 hours…

  • I surprised myself by making an effort last night. There was half a chance to see some auroras and now that the weather has turned for the warmer, I thought it’s worth a try. Even if the wind was really bad so I knew that any trees I would put in the frame would be…
