Last chance for autumn photography[in the north]
Last chance of photographing the fall this year, at least up north. A weekend in Swedish mountains , i was actually to late the leaves had already fallen to the ground.
But i had a magic moment when meating a Moose bull close up, sadly the camera was in my backpack but you have some drone footage in the end of the video.
Thanks for watching!!
Exploring new photo location
Exploring new places is so nice, Reivo natur reserve i have been to before but not just this location.
Autumn and Reflection Photography
A trip to the beautiful location “Trollforsen” in the heart of Lapland, a photo weekend with ups and downs.
Mountain photography, new snow and autumn colors
The waterfall that lies inland after the Seldut river that opens into the Vuoggatjålmejaure is very beautiful and you can stand here and admire for as long as possible. Here you can go by boat or hike from Vouggatjålme village.
My constant companion “Kero” is thinking about what is going on, this picture is from Vuoggatjålmejaure beach
Towards the top to find something to photograph
Phone Pic
Hiking in the Swedish mountains, above the Arctic Circle towards the Norwegian border. The white fresh snow clears the mountain tops and creates very beautiful contrasts in the landscape.
When you stay in such a beautiful landscape it can easily be that you take pictures of just about everything, but I think you should focus on the composition you are most interested in and test several angles, otherwise it can easily be that you come home with a lot of pictures and none that is very good. I mean spend more time / picture then it will usually be good. Hope you understand what I mean.
The views up here are absolutely magical, I got a lot of pictures with me which I am very pleased with, shows a selection below
Best Pictures
It was quite difficult conditions when I took this picture, the light was poor and there was quite a fresh wind. In order to freeze the movements of the white balls, I had to get a fast shutter speed. The picture was taken in 1/6 Sec exposure F5.6 ISO 400, and in order to get a sharp image through I had to take 5 exposures and focus on different places in the image and then combine these in Photoshop.
You have to have a solid tripod when doing this in order for the camera not to move between the pictures, so they must be exactly the same.
This image was taken with 13 Sec exposure, ISO 100, 6 Stop ND filter and also a 3 stop graduated filter to reduce the light in the sky. A much simpler image to shot and edit, long exposure to smooth out the water and get some movement in the clouds
Panorama, 4 Images edited and merged in lightroom
Satisfied with my days in the mountains, the huge landscape makes you feel quite small. Beautiful autumn colors and fresh snow on the peaks do not make things worse and in my opinion the best time to get some nice pictures.
Hope you like the pictures, they can be ordered contact me then I fix it!
Tip
Photograph in RAW format then you get most of your pictures, you can bring up the shadows and bring down the highlights quite easily, you have to use some editing program. I shoot all my photos in RAW and edit in Lightroom and Photoshop, you have control over the dynamic range and can create balance in the pictures.
If you have any questions, contact me!
Thanks so much for reading, have a nice day!!
Long exposure photography
Shooting with a long shutter speed, usually extremely fun, you can create completely different emotions with the same subject simply.
A lovely autumn day in the north with a nature that is slowly but surely changing shape in terms of color and shape, getting ready for winter.
When you find interesting objects rising out of the water, in this case an old pine that fell into the water. You can get a lot of pictures that turn out quite well actually.
It is important to test all conceivable angles to find the best composition.
Looking for good compositions is not always easy, but I feel quite satisfied with the ones I found today.
The Reivo reserve with its untouched nature is very beautiful to walk in, changing weather I experienced this day with rain and sunshine. Had the chance to take photos while the sun was shining.
Best photos for that day
I am happy with these 3 photos and they are all edited in Lightroom and Photoshop, all the photos I take are in RAW format, which means that the photos are quite flat and colorless before editing, but you can bring the photos to life with the help of these programs.
4 Sec Exposure F11 ISO 100
Lens: Tamron 28-75 mm vid 68 mm, Kamera: Canon 5D Mark II
Filter: Nisi CPL Filter med 6 stop ND Filter
82 Sec Exposure F11 ISO 50
Lens: Canon 16-35 mm Vid 22 mm, Kamera Canon 5D Mark II
Filter: Nisi CPL Filter med 10 stop ND Filter
Am probably most satisfied with this picture. Took the picture at the right time at sunset and got the light I wanted. It did best in Black/White, I think. I like the shapes and the timelessness, don't know if it's summer or winter.
The picture was taken with:
6 Sec Exposure F11 ISO 50
Lens: Sigma 70-200 mm vid 80 mm
Filter: Nisi CPL och 6 stop ND filter
This picture can be ordered as a photo poster, contact me and I will fix it
Tipps
Some tips when shooting in this way with a long shutter speed is to use a stable tripod and also use the camera's timer to minimize possible camera shakes, there are of course timers to buy specifically for your model of camera that you connect via cable or wirelessly. I usually use the built-in 2 Sec timer and also sometimes the 10 Sec timer depending on which lens I use.
Then of course you have to use ND filters to fix this by extending the shutter time, I use 3 ND filters in my equipment
3 Stop, 6 Stop and 10 Stop ND filter, 3 stop soft graduated filter to be able to dampen the sharp light of the sky. It is advisable to buy filters with higher quality to avoid color shifts in your images.
I also usually use an app on the phone called "Photopills" it is good for being able to calculate which shutter speed to use for different filters and then be able to get the right light in your photo.
Thanks for this time, feel free to comment what you think!
Ammarnäs i Lappland
Slingrandes på krokiga vägar genom Lappland tar vi oss sakta men säkert mot Ammarnäs.
På vägen kan man stanna till i Sorsele som ligger väldigt vackert beläget vid Vindelälven.
Ammarnäs ligger ca 90 km från Sorsele, när man kommer fram möts man av denna trevliga skylt.
En väldigt vackert belägen plats ovan odlingsgränsen i Sorsele kommun vid Vindelälvens start.
Soluppgång i Ammarnäs
Tidig morgon ca 07:00 är denna bild tagen
1/5 Exponering F11 ISO 50 .
Lins: Tamron 28-75 mm vid 50 mm . Kamera: Canon 5D Mark II
Filter: Nisi CPL filter och 3 stop mjukt graderat filter
Denna bild är en RAW fil direkt från Kameran
Kul att se vad man kan göra när man fotar i RAW format och redigerar bilderna sedan.
1/5 Exponering F11 ISO 50 .
Lins: Tamron 28-75 mm vid 50 mm . Kamera: Canon 5D Mark II
Filter: Nisi CPL filter och 3 stop mjukt graderat filter
Här är samma bild fast redigerad i Lightroom/Photoshop, jag har ökat kontrasten och ändrat färgsättningen så att det skall likna hur jag upplevde det på plats, jag har även klippt bilden lite mindre för att bli av med oönskat innehåll.
Önskar att jag tog denna bild med längre slutartid och slätat ut vattnet lite till.
Denna bild är tagen 07:30 på morgonen
5 Sec exponering F11 ISO 50.
Lins: Canon 16-36 vid 35 mm Kamera: Canon 5D Mark II
Filter: Nisi CPL filter, 6 stop Nd filter , 3 stop mjukt graderat filter.
Denna bild är tagen med 2 exponeringar som sedan är ihop satta i photoshop, var tvungen att göra detta för att få en skarp bild. Först fokuserade jag på stenarna i förgrunden och sedan på berget i bakrunden.
För att lyckas med lång exponering är det viktigt att ha ett stabilt stativ och timer för att undkomma skakningar i bilden.
CPL filtret hjälper till att öka färgsättningen och ta bort reflektionerna i vattnet, jag tycker det är ett måste i utrustningen.
Denna bild är tagen 12:30 på dagen
Han även med lite fjällvandring och tog denna bild med utsikt mot Vindelälven, en enkel exponering utan filter.
Blir så vackra färger när hösten är på gång, naturen förändras och gör sig redo för ännu en vinter.
Kommentera gärna vad ni tycker om bilderna, vi hörs snart igen!
Reivo Reservatet
This weekend, my family and I visited the Reivo Reserve in the municipality of Arvidsjaur, a scenic place with fantastic and untouched nature.
Sitting and grilling by the lakeside in this calm is absolutely fantastic!
Well worth a visit!
The fact that you can then take some beautiful photos is just a bonus!
