So, now I’ve had a week to contemplate my situation. And make an Excel table about it, as befits an introvert. My nose is still a bit stuffy but otherwise it feels like I’m back to normal. Considering the stuffy nose, it’s a bit as if I’m recovering from a flu, but my Excel table…
I hope you’re not getting tired of swan pictures yet… I’m not! Yesterday I took the Mega-Tamron to Tevsjön, which is still mostly covered in ice, but with a few open patches (in fact, some parts of the lake almost didn’t freeze at all in the winter). So naturally the waterfowl use the lake as a resting…
I traded skiing for bird watching today. Great choice! I got to witness some drama and action, and got my best swan pictures to date as well. I used the same spot as last week and this time the swans didn’t mind me. There are more of them now, and they are too busy fighting each…
Sometimes I can’t decide what I have more of, plans or excuses. I love planning and I don’t even want to think about how many plans I have that I’ve never gone through with. There’s always something that ”comes in the way”. But last night there were no excuses, I was going to ski up to…
Our flight didn’t leave until the afternoon, which left us time for a morning shoot in Norðradalur. It took me a while to find my spot, but when I did, I was happy – I think I’m getting the hang of shooting the waves! Bit of a last chance but better than never. 😉 It…
The weather forecast keeps promising a chance of sun, but it is just not happening. It was raining when we left in the morning, and the wind is definitely an issue again. We arrived at our spot above Funningur but with nothing but grey skies around us, it was a waiting game. We decided to…
Today we dedicated the day to Kalsoy, which we have already shot from a few angles as it’s right in between Eysturoy and Kunoy. There’s a couple of small villages on Kalsoy, and regular ferry traffic – another sign that these islands are doing well. There’s only one road on Kalsoy, running up and down…
The raining has finally stopped but the wind is still an issue, and it gave me problems during our morning shoot at Gjógv. All of my frames were soft due to vibration, so every one of them went down to trash. I’m not as heartbroken as that may sound though, because the composition wasn’t really that good…
The weather forecast doesn’t look very promising, it’s going to be heavy winds and rain for two days now. But, never say die, we ventured out anyway and actually got quite a good session in the morning. We drove to Gjógv to catch some wave action again. The cliffs weren’t quite as slippery as yesterday…
Sun rises so late that we have time to eat breakfast at the hotel before heading out. This is going to be the routine for the whole week – early breakfast, lunch on the road, back to the hotel for dinner. We spent the first morning in Syðradalur, it’s a place with lava rock formations…
