I think I mentioned last year that I might convert my old 40D to infrared when I bought my new camera. But then somebody wanted to buy the 40D and I had to decide between making money on it, or spend money on it. Kind of a no-brainer! But I was still interested in infrared,…

The photographic slump continues, waiting for the greens. It’s actually starting to happen now, with ever so slight green tint on the birches. Some birches actually very nearly sport mouse ears by now, so give it another week and the landscape will be transformed. Exciting times… this is the spring equivalent of first snow! I…

I have some more flowers coming up now, so I got to try my white theme on non-white flowers. The fake background sure has some benefits, as for example with this glory of the snow the natural background was a disaster and I couldn’t have pulled off anything usable even with the lens wide open,…

It’s now when I start to warm up for April. Landscape is still very bleak, but in the garden the first snowdrops are in bloom and a lot of other flowers are coming up. And with almost all of the dirt roads (even those which were not plowed in the winter) are free of snow,…

Everybody (including me) has been complaining about how cold it has been. But last weekend, it turned around – we finally started having nights without freezing temperatures, and now the nature is changing so fast that you could probably see it if you looked hard enough.

It could be that I just have a strange definition of cool, but I think it’s cool that I can stand on my porch and look at Orion and Sirius! Early in the winter, Sirius wouldn’t be visible until around midnight but now at this time of the year they are so high up in the…

It would’ve been the best aurora I have ever seen. I knew that the aurora would put on a good display tonight, but I also knew that the weather forecast said that it would get cloudy. So I waited nervously until it got dark enough and started shooting, there was no doubt that something was…

For the past three evenings I’ve been trying to get my sights on the comet Pan-STARRS without any success. The first evening I was probably looking a little bit in the wrong place, the second evening I was probably out too late and yesterday when my timing and place where right, I couldn’t see it…

On a personal note, I went to see a physical therapist yesterday. Maybe I haven’t complained about my right hip so much in this blog, but I’ve had a problem with it just about all my adult life. It starts hurting when I do long walks, and when it gets really bad my knees and…

Wow. We had an earthquake today! The whole house rattled in the afternoon, at first I thought it was a big truck that drove past, but the road is too far for it, so then I thought that the remaining snow on the roof fell… before I had analysed it further, the movie I was…
