I’ve noticed that my mood and photographic opportunities are directly related. When a long time passes without any good photo sessions, I start to get depressed. Then a day comes that I get no less than two reasons to exercise the camera and suddenly I’m as happy as ever! It was overcast yesterday but late…

In case you managed to miss it, here are some pictures from the best light show of the decade! Or accurately, ”the strongest geomagnetic storm of the current solar cycle” as SpaceWeather.com expressed it. But nevermind what you call it, it was s p e c t a c u l a r ! It didn’t…

Fabulous aurora tonight again, visible despite the light of the full moon. I wish I’d been at a better spot but as it so often happens, I was in a hurry so all I could do was to shoot from field close to home. In fact, I had all but given up and was actually…

It’s one of these pictures again. I’m struggling with the Tokina wideangle, I just think it behaves very erratically. The first time I had the Tokina lens (with the 40D), I had no problems with whatsoever, that’s why I liked it so much. But now… at first I thought that there’s something wrong with the…

Wake-up call at 5am – welcome to Iceland! I wish I could say I got at least 5 hours of sleep, but it was more like 3-4 hours. But this is way too exciting to feel tired! Our first destination was the beach at Jökulsárlón. It’s pointless to say that it’s very special because every…

I had my alarm clock set at 2am to check out if the aurora would be happening. But I got a wakeup call earlier than that – Miika had noticed that the aurora were glowing wild so I put on some warm clothes (it was below freezing), picked up the camera and tripod and went…

I woke up at around 3am to go to the bathroom. As I walked through the kitchen, I looked out the window as I always do and saw aurora that were as high up in the sky as I’ve ever seen. Suddenly I didn’t feel sleepy at all, so I put on some warm clothes…

It was another clear night so I headed back to the same night photography spot as on Saturday. There were no clouds, except towards the end of my session when a thin strip showed up in the north, not enough to be bothersome but it did catch the light pollution. And speaking of that, it…

My 365 project has reached #50 so I thought I would take a look at how it’s gone. I think the ”terms” I set in the beginning was a mistake, or at least overly ambitious. I should’ve known that I would be forced to do a lot of shooting indoors and I know I totally…

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…
