Point-n-shoot – Earth According to Me

Sandblasted by an Easter Storm: A Beach Trip Gone… Brisk

It seemed like a good idea. The weather forecast predicted very strong winds, so what could be a better way to spend Easter Sunday than go to the coast to watch the waves and feel the brisk air against our winter-pale skin – and shoot a few pictures in the proces?

While we didn’t regret our excursion, the reality was that this was a downright painful experience. Sand was blowing into our faces and felt like a thousand ant bites, and the wind chill turned a nice, sunny day into what felt like being in the middle of a polar vortex. It was impossible to go about the photography in a calculated way. You pushed your sunglasses up, looked into the viewfinder, clicked the release button, and then got your sunglasses back in place before your eyes were pierced by sand traveling through the air at high speed. Still, the images made it worth it. You may not be able to tell just how strong the wind was, but hopefully you get the idea that the beach is more than happy summer days and beautiful sunsets. The beach can be a rough place.

A Day in Gribskov’s Least Impressive Corner (But Don’t Tell the Photos)

You know it’s going to be a pretty good day at the office when you see your first composition before you even leave the parking lot. Today was an example of that, and yes, although the sunny weather only Read more

Spring Is in the Air, I See Pictures Everywhere

After a long winter with lack of motivation, freezing cold weather, and too many other things to think about, spring finally exploded on the first day of March. That resulted in my first photo outing since January, and the first one I truly enjoyed since fall colors peaked in early November. The snow was gone, the sun burst through the clouds, and a new location revealed itself to me and proved that I’m not done discovering the beauty of North Sealand. And I’m not done loving being out absorbing nature through my camera and soul.

The Snowiest Winter in 15 Years and This Is All I Got

We had tons of snow this winter, and unlike most winters, it stayed on the ground for more than a month. And yet, this picture taken out my front door is the only snow picture I took this winter worth sharing. There are several reasons for this, but they all amounted to this: my motivation to go out was nonexistent. Even when I did go out, my state of mind was such that I couldn’t see the compositions. One day I walked for more than 5 miles through a snowy landscape and didn’t take a single picture. It was all just white monotony to me.

This picture of our car covered in snow, draped in blue light from our Twinkly Christmas light chain will have to stand as a sole reminder of the snowiest winter since 2011.

My First Northern Lights

To see northern lights and take pictures of northern lights are not the same thing. I can now I say I have taken a picture of northern lights, but I cannot say I have seen them. What you see Read more

Fall Compressed Into One Perfect Day of Photography

This was exactly what I needed. After a difficult summer and fall, I needed a perfect day like this. I don’t think I could have picked a better day and a better location as far as fall colors are concerned. The yellows and oranges were popping… no, exploding… and the compositions were as plentiful as they were radiant. Only downside was the more than gloomy weather, but I’m not sure I would have survived a trifecta of a perfect location, perfect timing, and perfect light. It was overwhelming enough as it was.

Chances are this was my only real fall photography outing. The season is short, and bad weather and a busy schedule are looming. But if this was it, I will be more than happy.

Back on My Feet: A First Taste of Fall After the Injury

My test run after the leg injury that has prevented me from getting out in the woods for almost a month. My leg did pretty well. I was a little worried if I would be able to get back up after kneeling down to pose for the self-portrait that you see here, but the leg held up fine.

This was also a welcome taste of fall in its early stages. The light was as harsh as the reflections in the water were sharp. But a beautiful day and some nice images. I have been in the same location many times, and I never know if will be generous or a dud. This was one of the better visits.

Between Trees and High Voltage

A walk in a small forest I had never visited before. Perhaps the most significant feature is how a row of huge powerlines cuts through it, which I tried to document. Other than that, it was a rather unremarkable Read more

Exploring New Nature Walkway

In connection with the construction of a brand new hospital (a “super hospital”, no less) here in my town of Hillerød, a new nature area has been established. A wooden walkway runs through it and makes for a really nice 30-minute hike, with some pretty spots along the way.
