This is it – the day I have been waiting for! My requirements for shooting the full moon are very specific. I’m not interested in the moon for the sake of itself, I mean when you’ve seen one moon frame-filler, you’ve seen them all. What can you say? ”Nice composition”? Nope, that just doesn’t do…

Sleep deprivation, some bad decisions, poor timing and boring weather resulted in zero pictures yesterday. I was hoping for better today, and I guess it was… at least I slept better. It was one of those days which start with some disappointments but end up just fine. I tried to catch the moonset, but it…

It’s time for all play no work! I have booked myself for a long weekend in Messlingen, long being four days. The reason I chose this weekend is that it’s full moon on Tuesday and ever since a botched attempt to shoot the full moon on Flatruet three years ago, I’ve been obsessed to get…

We witnessed a strange light phenomenon today – the sun! When’s the last time I saw that? Some time last year anyway.

I’m finally starting to tell my squirrels apart. Now that I have them pegged down, it’s actually quite easy to recognise them. ”Blackie” is the biggest of the bunch, and darker than the other two. ”Reddie” and ”Stubby” (or ”Stubby-tail”) are otherwise much the same, but easy to separate thanks to Stubby’s tail – looks…

If I thought that yesterday was wonderful, then today was even better! More snow and less wind. When I set off, the trails were completely snowed over in some places as the snow mobiles hadn’t been around yet. The snow wasn’t too deep though to spoil skiing, so I enjoyed every second I spent out…

Very light snowfall today, but all the more wind. A wonderful winter’s day, in other words. It was also a bit dark today, so there was very little contrast. A few times I nearly tripped on the snow drifts because it was just simply impossible to see where the wind had piled up the snow.…

December 2007 was actually not half bad. A year ago we didn’t have any snow on the ground, but now we have plenty enough for skiing and snow mobiling (as always, I’m only doing the former). There were a couple of warm spells that threatened to ruin it all, but we had enough snow to…

I had been planning to spend the Christmas holidays in the mountains, but the weather conspired against me. I was sorely needing to get out there though, to experience some proper snow in a beautiful setting. I finally got my chance, even if just for one day – so I contributed some CO2 and drove…

Canon 300 f4L IS, ISO 640, f4 @ 1/160There’s not a lot of light but there’s even less subjects to shoot. So the squirrels are getting fat on the seeds and nuts… Under these lighting conditions, I have to contend with long shutter speeds despite a high ISO. The 300mm lens has Image Stabilisation (IS)…
