Somehow the weather got the best of me. Of course, it’s nice to have warm sunshine so I shouldn’t complain, it’s better than constant rain for sure. But then there’s the feeling that I’m here too early in the season. And I’m really getting fed up with having to hike up mountains, yes I get…
A photographer friend came for a visit to take a look (and photograph) some of the local sights. Even without the pictures, the weather and the mosquitoes made the day memorable. If you’ve ever been out on a mosquito infested bog in nearly 30 °C heat with camera gear on your back, you’ll know what…
Sometimes there is particular irony that photography is called ”shooting”. So I drove to my favourite creek again. No rain, but very slippery rocks. As I was making my way through the bushes, I suddenly heard a gunshot. Very close by! I stopped to have a look around, but I was fairly well hidden among…
I have been looking forward to this weekend ever since the first weather forecasts had started coming in earlier in the week. The forecast said rain – and I couldn’t have been happier! I might have gotten a bit fed up with shooting water all winter last year, but time heals all wounds and now…
We had a little bit of snow overnight, but unfortunately we also had a lot of wind so the trees are bare. And the little bit means that dry flower stems and grasses are sticking out through the snow, so we are still not talking about the snowscapes I’ve been waiting for. But, one has…
Another cold (relatively speaking) day and I didn’t want to drive to the same old creek again, so I drove to another creek – river, even. I was driving on the small forest roads, it was sometimes icy but the snow wasn’t a problem for sure… My first stop was at the Högforsen rapids (or…
Since skiing is obviously not an option these days, I went sightseeing instead and drove to the Hylströmmen waterfall, part of the Voxnan river. The information sign at the parking lot proudly proclaimed that Hylströmmen is 23 metres high and that makes it the highest waterfall in the Southern Norrland. I have to find how…
I got my ND8 filter this week so of course I just had to try it, despite the snow-slash-sleet-slash-rain that was falling from the sky. The Stormjacket works fine for the camera, and shooting water means that the camera is pointed down so the front of the lens is protected from the drops. All I…
So, it was one of those dull and grey days that only brightened up at sunset. Except, I think that days just don’t get more wonderful than today! I had found this creek some way south from Loos and was itching do waterfall photography. I think that overcast days are by far the best time…
Of course, the morning we have to leave Jasper is the morning that is sunny. But can’t help it… At least we saw some nice morning scenery on the way, and even spotted some moose – they are the bigger cousins of the moose we have at home, so it was special. Mt Robson was…
