This picture gave me a bit of a challenge in post production. The hotel was really accommodating giving me a room high up with a view over Hisingen Brige in Göteborg, Sweden. Problem was that the windows could not be opened and there was a thick layer of winter dirt on the outside. I had to take some help from Lightroom AI to clean it up. Came out much better than I expected.
If I only could be a bridge over troubled waters, ha de Gött!
Freeze for a moment, ha de Gött!
It was not really a good day for photography but I wanted to check out a new area, Valön nature preserve. Just a 40 minutes drive from home but I had never been there. With safety in mind I thought best explore in daylight. There was some high thin clouds as I set out that I hoped would filter the harsh sun a bit but they cleared as I arrived. There was a 2 km walk from the parking lot down to the water front. I’m glad I went out! Poseidon had a spectacular show ongoing and I got some great photos. Do check my Instagram for more. To quote Arnold “I’ll be back”.
Don’t give up until you tried, ha de Gött!
Alder trees leaning over the cold water. Or are they trying to hang on? Enningdalselva, Norway.
Lean on, but don’t lean to heavy. Ha de Gött!
Today was all about fast flowing water after a week with heavy rain and melting snow. I took a tour into Norway and the river Berbyelva. There was snow left on the river bank making it slippery. Dense vegetation so it was a bit of challenge to get clear shots. After walking in the still deep snow I found a spot to get some good shots playing with shutter speed.
Better to move safe than gracefully, ha de Gött!
The river ferry arrives, Göteborg Sweden.
Got to rush, ha de Gött!
This winter has so far been unusually cold but I don’t mind. Winter has also offered some amazing light and sunsets. I’ve equipped myself with spike shoes. A flashlight that I can put on my head, a head-light. All to be able to walk safely in the dark and icy terrain.
Check out my Instagram for more sunset photos.
Do take risks but safety first, ha de Gött!
First photo from 2024. The new year entered with a snowstorm from the north east. Not so much snow but cold, around -15°C down to -20°C for several days. Finally the weather was calm on Saturday and I got some pictures before my fingers and toes turned into icicles.
Hot socks and hot chocolate, ha de Gött!
See you around the bend, ha de Gött!
Can you photograph cold? Not cold things like ice and snow, but the actual cold. This is my attempt. I was driving around to scout for scenes to photograph and when I drove down a small icy road in the middle of the forest when this little valley opened. As the sun just made it over the tree tops, it created this inversion fog and the temperature dropped from -2°C to -15°C as I drove into it. Picture of cold, hmm. It was really cold to take the pictures anyway.
Keep your heart warm, ha de Gött!
