Föderation EN So 26.01.2025 18:42:17 Arctic Norway in January. I'm sitting down by the log fire after two weeks of shooting in the far north. I have a folder with 1TB of RAW files to rummage through. Might take a while :) This image was taken in Grovfjord, a real hidden gem that sits half way between Senja and Lofoten. Most people think of January as one of the dark winter months, but there is just enough light to bring the colours too :)

Föderation EN So 26.01.2025 20:41:43 I love the combination of winter cold and clear skies. Indeed the coldest days are the clearest up here. Blue skies, a fjord freezing over with ice, and just a hint of sun even though it's still below the horizon at this time of year.

Föderation EN Mo 27.01.2025 13:20:01 Sometimes when I sit and watch the fire, I can almost imagine what the sun is like. The fluidity. The motion. The flux and chaos. Our little planet is so calm and gentle in comparison to most of the known universe.

Föderation EN Mo 27.01.2025 16:55:10 I'm often asked what lenses to pack for travel in the Arctic, and while I lament the chore of lugging about a telephoto there are the occasional moments when punching in to a mountain ridge is exactly the creative direction I want to take. This is a popular walk with locals in the Grovfjord area. My idea of a walk however usually ends in hotdogs or cinnamon scrolls :)

Föderation EN Mo 27.01.2025 20:52:30 Stepped out this morning when I saw the light hitting nearby peaks. It started off pink but turned a little peach by the time I got out there with a lens :)

Föderation EN Di 28.01.2025 11:03:45 Every so often I remember to try a panorama of the location where I am. Am rarely disappointed. Something about the compression plus wide aspect feels lovely compared to just shooting with a super wide lens. Anyhoo, will start sharing pics outside of Grovfjord soon. Still working my way through the backlog of RAW files. This was taken yesterday when the light was peachy.

Föderation EN Di 28.01.2025 15:59:51 Early January in Tromsø is a great time to catch some Nacreous Clouds. We saw a heap of these over the course of a week. They don't photograph very well though, as a lack of structure/texture is their nature. These kinds of clouds are caused by sunlight over the horizon hitting high altitude clouds.

Föderation EN Di 28.01.2025 17:19:22 There are loads of really cool mountains around Narvik. Most folks think of Tromsø or Lofoten or Senja. Narkiv and points south are pretty special as well. Can recommend.
