The trick with snow is to find interesting compositions – and to not get blind to the little things! This is a great example – I wasn’t really sure what composition to use here until I realised these little snow piles on the ground.
If you like winter scenes, you will love Lapland! Beautiful shapes in the snow, sunsets that create a golden touch on the ground and trees – what else could you want! Some hot wine maybe, but that’s a different story.
I was flying around with my drone, trying to spot some Reindeer – which is when I noticed the awesome light that came through those trees at sunset. I love the contrast between the golden light and the cool shadows on the snow – but even more – the lone tracks that were left by a fox.
I’ve seen some sunsets in my life – but this one was so good that it felt unreal. I can only assume it was the whole situation – ice cold, eyelashes frozen, a deep red sunset that threw a soft red onto the undisturbed snow, and all these natural frames that would be created by the frozen trees.
This is a drone shot from Lapland – and if you look carefully, you notice several tracks in the snow on the frozen lakes. These tracks are from the night before when we tried to hunt for the aurora and find the best compositions. I am not very comfortable walking on ice, simply for fear that it may break, but … it didn’t. Win!
