  • You know how I love shooting the full moon rising (or setting) over the landscape. I rarely succeed, but I often try! It’s full moon tomorrow but the best chance of shooting it was today – moonrise was just after sunset so I might just be able to catch the moon before the sky got…

  • Every autumn I check the full moon dates for the coming year. When I saw that the March full moon occurs on a Saturday, I made a plan to be somewhere nice for it, and decided on a backcountry skiing trip to the Fältjägaren mountain hut, which is less than 10 km straight south from…

  • I finally got my new car! Actually, I got it last week – I drove to Östersund to pick up the car and my sister, who came to visit me for the weekend. It was great to see her and we had a good time with hiking, walking, eating waffles and chatting. All of that…

  • We have a lot of roe deer around here, more than I ever saw in Föne. I’ve seen them regularly walk past the house and amazingly, they are not as shy here as they were in Föne. A few times I’ve come surprisingly close while walking or cycling on the driveway and the animals just look…

  • Early wakeup call today to catch the setting full moon. When I got to my spot, it was a no-moon, as there was an annoying bank of clouds in the western horizon on an otherwise clear sky. But, not to waste the morning, I skied a couple of km to a nice spot to catch…

  • One of the reasons (or the reason, we never needed to discuss it) that we selected next week for our skiing trip is that it’s full moon on Sunday. Unfortunately it looks like we’re not having the weather with us to shoot it, but that’s the way it goes. You play with the cards you’re…

  • When I opened the door this morning to go to work, I was greeted by the setting moon. I missed the full moon this weekend because of the overcast weather but this waning gibbous didn’t look so ugly as it was hanging low in the sky, so I went back in and grabbed my new…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Fox. Check. Ravine. Check. Full moon. Check. Clear sky. Check. Big Dipper. Check. Aurora. Check. For the longest time, I looked like it would be overcast today. But miracles do happen and the weather forecast indicated that it would be clear in the evening and sure enough, it was. The full moon was the reason…
