I have a lot of respect for ice. I’m a downright coward – even when my head tells me that the ice is thick enough, my heart chickens out. A lot of times it has meant that I have had to abandon some photo opportunities or do re-routes just because I don’t dare to cross…

Going fullframe meant that I might occasionally feel that 300mm is not enough as a telephoto lens (although, if I had a 1200mm lens, I would probably occasionally think it’s not enough anyway). I have a Kenko Pro 1.4x teleconverter which I hardly ever used with the 40D. It didn’t seem worthwhile to lose a…

As I was saying, I’m currently exploring the snowmobile trails to see where they take me. I checked out if any snowmobiles had been down to Mon yet, and I found that they haven’t… but, a snowplow had been. It was all very strange, the small road leading down to the fields had been plowed…

A five day weekend. I’ll take that. We have lots of snow now and the weather has been perfect for skiing and more and more snowmobiles are out as well, so I have some trails to follow. I haven’t gotten around to getting a trail map yet so I’ve just followed whatever tracks I’ve found.…

When I moved to Föne in March and made my first trips towards the river, I was wondering about the ice on dry ground. I saw it both by the river and also along the small creek that runs through Föne. Last week when I took the small bridge over the creek, the water level…

One of the questions I had in my mind about going full frame is what will happen at the telephoto end. My 300mm lens will now be just that – 300mm. The way I figured it, it’s not a bad thing. Obviously we always want more reach, but the 1.6 crop factor is replaced by…

I wrote about the Canon 6D in September. I pre-ordered it as soon as it was possible and it has been a long wait to finally get my hands on the camera… but it finally arrived on Wednesday! Then it seems like it was an equally long wait for the weekend so I can actually…

Just like last Sunday, it was sunny today. But there is one major difference to the landscape – now it’s white! And not just a little bit. It snowed non-stop on Friday and Saturday and the result is a generous snow cover that has truly transformed the scenery. If I may complain, then it’s that…

I did something I haven’t done in a very long time – I went exploring. I found some spots on the map that were worth checking out, but one by one they failed to produce anything of any major interest. I found one photogenic spot but it would’ve required a cloud in front of the…

November. Almost every year, it’s the photographic low point and this year is no exception. It’s hard to get less inspired than I am right now, so I’m really hoping for some miracles in the next few weeks… firstly, that the snow would finally arrive, and secondly, that my new camera will arrive. The only…
