When you try to shoot auroras but the weather has other ideas.

Think it might be time to wrap up this thread. Need to get my head out of the blue for a little while. So I'm returning to where it began, and that boat shed. Now you get to see the colours on display that day :)

Thanks to everyone who dropped a comment along the way, or liked and shared. Met some nice peeps this week or two!

The first time I saw this scene I nearly drove the car off the road. I wasn't expecting it. Such a remarkable reveal, as is typical of Senja and Tromso. One moment there's nothing but a wall of snow on either side of the road, the next there's a magical fjord or a cabin by the river, or a herd of reindeer or a fishing fleet. Magical place.

That day we got snow falling pretty much from dawn to dusk but paused for a brief half hour and we stepped out to capture a more subtle impression of the landscape. I love the scale of softness in winter, the way snow hides all the imperfections. It even dampens the noise. There's no silence quite like a world layered in fresh snow.

Can feel the moody side kicking in. The way sunset can fall under the weight of a storm.

This photo was taken in the days before the planet was transformed by covid. We were up in the Arctic, a million miles from the rest of the world. I wanted this moment to last forever.

I remember the first time we descended into this fjord and saw the island and all the little homes packed onto it and a fleet of fishing boats and there's even a cute little cafe in town for a nice hot chocolate.

I could barely believe it was real.

Little gems like this are hidden all over Norway. Winter time makes them all the more special :)

When the LUMIX S1R came out I was pretty excited. 47MP in normal mode, and 187MP using pixel shift. Truth is it's exceedingly rare that I need more than 20MP and mostly these days I use the LUMIX S5 instead. It's smaller and lighter and still does 96MP with pixel shift, so that's not bad.

I'm getting ready to head back in a few weeks, and thinking about what camera to pack. Hmmmm.

Too often with photography we're looking for grandeur. We want the big scene or the perfect shot. I notice this when travelling with camera club folks in particular.

It's the little moments that make photography for me, the imperfect pieces that reveal the texture of a place. Life isn't perfect, and neither is photography.

I think of my style as 'editorial'. I collect pieces of a story. Lots of pieces.
