New Photo: Unexpected Motives

Sardinia has many awesome beaches – but many of them are obviously completely full of tourists. This beach here was one of the worst – huge boats would bring even bigger groups of tourists all the time as the beach is secluded and has many of these small caves that allow for some great Instagram photos. Most of the people only went to the larger caves though, so I decided to explore the smaller ones – like this one here. With a wide angle lens and after removing the people from the photo, this overcrowded spot became one of my favourite photos from Sardinia. Word of advice – don’t venture too far into the caves. Trust me.

New Photo: Winter Wonder Hole

Lapland at minus 35 degrees offers so many amazing compositions! Just look at this one – this is a frame made out of a frozen and snow-covered tree, showing completely frozen branches that complement a frozen hole to look at frozen trees with a snowy undisturbed foreground!

New Photo: The Ultimate Light

Taking this photo in Lapland was exhausting. I was cowering against a slope, half sunken into snow at the edge of a lake in the middle of the night, obviously. One of the many problems was the branch that I used as a hole to photograph through – cause when it is so dark, you see NOTHING on the camera screen. So you don’t actually know what you shoot until you take the image. That means loads of taking a photo, repositioning the camera, trying again and so on until you have the frame that you want. Anyway, enough ranting – what you see here is a composition of different focuses so that the sky, the trees in the back and the branch are as sharp and crisp as possible. It didn’t work completely, but I’m still happy with the outcome!

New Photo: Connected Land

Images like this make me think – Back before they built these bridges, getting around was a super pain! For every little trip, you had to take some sort of boat, navigate the currents, and ideally not crash into random rocks … Amazing how over the last many years we managed to remove many of these obstacles.
