Water show

Water show

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!

Flowing water

Flowing water

Water captured with slow shutter speed (1/30s) and fast (1/400s). Use the slider to see the effect.

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!

Sunsets

Sunsets

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 2024

First 2024

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!

Cold

Cold

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!

My Photography 2023

My Photography 2023

It’s that time of year when you should close the books for the old year. This year I’ve picked one picture for each month instead of top ten. A bit unfair to some months that presented more photo opportunities than others. Anyway, here it is. Hope you enjoy looking as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Happy Year End 2023, it was over with a click. Ha de Gött!

Bridge opening

Bridge opening

The new bridge over Göta Älv in Göteborg, Sweden is one of the things I’ve wanted to photograph for a long time but never got around to do. But yesterday all the pieces fell together. The light was good and to top it all, they opened the bridge to let a ship loaded with timber to pass. One of those hallelujah moments for a photographer.

The new Hisingsbron was inaugurated in 2021 to replace the old Götaälvbron from 1939 that was in poor condition. Götaälvbron in turn replaced the original Hisingsbron from 1874 that was in operation until 1968. The new bridge is lower to make it easier to ride your bike across. The downfall is that the sail free hight is lower and the ships passing underneath must run on a schedule to avoid openings during the rush hours.

Be like a bridge, open to all connections. Ha de Gött!
