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…

After all the excitement yesterday, I forgot that I had some night sky pictures I took on Friday when we had one of these rare cloudless skies and almost no wind. Too bad there was no snow on the trees, but it’s such a long time I’ve made any major effort with night sky photography…

I have a lot of respect for ice. I’m a downright coward – even when my head tells me that the ice is thick enough, my heart chickens out. A lot of times it has meant that I have had to abandon some photo opportunities or do re-routes just because I don’t dare to cross…

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…

As I was saying, I’m currently exploring the snowmobile trails to see where they take me. I checked out if any snowmobiles had been down to Mon yet, and I found that they haven’t… but, a snowplow had been. It was all very strange, the small road leading down to the fields had been plowed…

When I moved to Föne in March and made my first trips towards the river, I was wondering about the ice on dry ground. I saw it both by the river and also along the small creek that runs through Föne. Last week when I took the small bridge over the creek, the water level…

One of the questions I had in my mind about going full frame is what will happen at the telephoto end. My 300mm lens will now be just that – 300mm. The way I figured it, it’s not a bad thing. Obviously we always want more reach, but the 1.6 crop factor is replaced by…

I wrote about the Canon 6D in September. I pre-ordered it as soon as it was possible and it has been a long wait to finally get my hands on the camera… but it finally arrived on Wednesday! Then it seems like it was an equally long wait for the weekend so I can actually…

Just like last Sunday, it was sunny today. But there is one major difference to the landscape – now it’s white! And not just a little bit. It snowed non-stop on Friday and Saturday and the result is a generous snow cover that has truly transformed the scenery. If I may complain, then it’s that…
