Winter solstice

Winter solstice

Today is the shortest day of the year. Sun raise at 09:06 and sets 15:21 here at 58°N, already tomorrow will be one minute longer. To my surprise it came with some light after a period with dark grey skies. To top it all, I had the afternoon off and there was 10 centimetres of snow.

Don’t tell my wife but, I climbed a mountain to get some nice photos of the windmill in the low standing and pale sunlight. Takes some time to get up but getting down is quite fast in the snow.

It is better to get down safely than gracefully, ha de Gött!

Lord of Light

Lord of Light

No, sorry but this will not be a blog post about Game of Thrones. I will focus on the lord that every photographer turn to, light. While most of the days it’s too gloomy or too bright there are those few days when you get a glimpse of photographers heaven. Add to this fog or better sea smoke. Saturday morning I did visit heaven even if it was a bit cold.

See the light, snap it. Ha de Gött!

Winter morning

Winter morning

Finally there was some light and I was off work. I backed my camera gear and headed out in the morning. What a morning, -11°C and light offshore winds. From the still warm sea the sea smoke rose and danced around Väcker lighthouse like fairies.

Stay tuned for more pictures to come and also check out my Instagram.

Dressed for success, ha de Gött!

Tug of war

Tug of war

We had a tug of war, me and the wind. I was trying to get a stable shot but the wind tried to push me of the cliff. Sat down on my ass like a three year old while the wind was screaming like a parent in 30 meters per second. Just like riding on the car roof going 105 km/h.

Keep calm and hold on, ha de Gött!
