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!

Icelands waterfalls are impressive – even more so if they have a beautiful cave that goes with it! I am used to having to hike to places like this for hours – but nope, not in Iceland. This one here was 10 min walking from our Hotel!

I am not a great drone pilot – at all. I fly slow, always scared a bird is gonna crash into my drone. As a result, I do at times forget to check the actual camera settings – and as a result of that result, I sometimes get completely underexposed images. This photo here is one of those – it was completely underexposed. I managed to recover some details, but any zoom might reveal some strange colored pixels. Still – works for screens, so I take it!

Iceland has many hidden gems. This is a place that we thought was a hidden gem! Turns out, it’s not so hidden anymore. One of the friends I was travelling with went here years ago, and by that time you had to park in the middle of nowhere, walk through a field for 40 min, and arrive at this location. Well, now you arrive at a proper parking slot, paved walkways with fences, and a mass of people.

Here is just a quick shot from icy Iceland! It was already super dark and we flew around with our drones – which is actually a bit scary as you never know when you fly into another drone! Anyway, it was quite too dark for my little drone so I had to reduce the noise in the photo a lot, but the picture doesn’t need a lot of details which makes it still work. There was also a seal swimming around all the time, but of course, it didn’t show up when you needed it to complete your photo…
