I have always said that I don’t take pictures on order. I learned the hard way to say ”no” every time somebody asked me to take pictures in their wedding or do portraits and I even hesitate to take pictures of anybody’s pets if they ask. Or if there’s a situation where I would have…

On a personal level, 2013 was tragic. My mother passed away in November, which has made me re-evaluate some things in my life, even my relationship with photography. But more about that later. When I looked back at the pictures, I realised that I did a whole lot of hiking in the summer. I really…

It’s been snowing all day, which is needed because the warm weather and storm winds really took heavy on the snow cover we had. We still need a lot more snow to cover up all the debris that the storm left on the ground, I saw sticks and broken off branches sticking out everywhere in…

So we finally got some snow! Earlier in the week it looked like there wouldn’t be any snow at all so I had made some plans to check a few more spots along the river. When it started snowing, I thought those spots would be even nicer with some open water surrounded by snow. Until…

We’re not doing any half measures here. After having complained that we have no snow in sight, the big storm that is ravaging Europe right now did reach out to us and dumped such a pile of snow overnight that I’m firmly stuck at home this morning. This is actually the first time it has…

The first post of the month is also the last post of the month… I don’t think I’ve been this quiet since I started the blog. But there’s a reason for the downtime. My mother passed away on the 4th, I made it to Finland with two days to spare so I could see her…

I think just about every landscape photographer likes to shoot the moon, I certainly do. I want to use the full moon as a feature in a landscape picture, so I’m always checking the full moon rise and set times to see when they coincide with either sunset or sunrise. The window of opportunity is…

What do you do when you have nothing to do? Go to the zoo, of course. Landscape shooting is not an option now that the leaves have fallen, I’m just waiting for the first snow to turn things around again. I walked around the zoo twice today, just to get some exercise while I was…

I continued with sightseeing today, but this time with some members from the camera club. It was actually a mini-tour, we visited five different spots. It didn’t start out too well when we got to the first spot – it was supposed to be a fine view, but honestly, it was marginally better than what…
