Roundtrip Hammerfest Nordkapp

Yesterday we drove 400 km from Hammerfest to Nordkapp and return to Hammerfest. The weather was beautiful. We stopped in Honningsvåg for lunch. The landscape is amazing, it's so huge and when the weather is good it is fantastic capturing pictures. I had to stop the car some places just for a photo. It makes me happy to be in this landscape when the sun is shining.

It's times like this, I wished my 300mm lense or more, but I only had my 18-200mm lense. It is a good lense and steady. It was blowing very hard when I captured this moment.

The raindeer and the rainbow. It was a beautiful moment when the raindeer and the rainbow showed up together.

Today we went for a walk on the "siksak" path. There is a path that go from the town to a viewpoint. The view from the top is amazing.

This day we had fun with silhouetts. I turn my camera NikonD7100 on effects "silhouetts", and guess what happen, it make silhouetts.

In the evening we went for a walk at the old road ( gamleveien)

and we made silhouetts again. The evening light was so beautiful and of course I had to take pictures.

Norway is a country with much wilderness. If you want to experience this you can buy a flight to Alta, rent a car and drive further north. We drove to Hammerfest, The northernmost city in Norway. The landscape is so huge. It is mountains and widen, fjord and seas. And it's raindeer. We saw a lot of raindeer, eating grass along the way. Here is some pictures from today.

Portraits of Birds

Birds are fascinating. They are busy all the time trying to find food. It is meditative to watch them fly and hear them signing. With a 300mm lense and a tripod, we can come very near also the small ones. When the light conditions also are great, like it was this morning, the portraits can be really beautiful.

One of this light, late, summer evenings

It was one of this light late summer evenings, we went out looking for wildlife. We met first a Deer, in a river we met a Bever, and when we turned to go home, we met a big Moose.

Suddenly it stood there in front of us.

The Deer looked at us

The Bever didn’t know we were looking at it. But suddenly it knew, it made a big splash into the water and disappeared.

Don’t stress, relax and automatic settings

Today I relaxed when I walked. I didn´t know what pictures I would shot, and what kind of pictures I would have when I got home. Maybe it helps to not think and just be relaxed, because today I got three portraits, and it was just smiling faces. Nobody got angry with me and asked what I was doing.

I think it is smart to have automatic settings on my camera when I do streetphotography. So today, I used the “P”. Then the shutter and f-stop do the work, and I do not need to think about it. Here is the result of the days photowalk:IMG_2843IMG_2839IMG_2841
