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. Medien: 1 |

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. Medien: 2 |

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. Medien: 1 |

Föderation EN Do 30.01.2025 10:19:21 Quick and dirty TL from last night. Gentle activity and a little extra colour before the high clouds claimed the night. #Norway #Aurora #Photography #Nordlys #EwenInNorway #LumixS9 |

Föderation EN Sa 01.02.2025 20:21:16 Let the sun shine in. Today we had lots of lovely sunshine kissing the cheeks. I love the combination of sunny and cold. Medien: 3 |

Föderation EN So 02.02.2025 10:02:39 I did leave the comfort of my log fire last night, and the clouds did clear away in time for a little aurora activity around midnight. This planet is just such a remarkable place to live. It's worth preserving. Medien: 1 |

Föderation EN So 02.02.2025 10:57:10 Two things I wanna point out about the techy stuff. Firstly, the scene always always looks brighter on screen in the night than it actually captures. In this case I ended up adding another 2 stops of exposure in post, which is very naughty. Pushing an underexposed file at high ISO is a great way to maximise noise! Second, my preference is to edit as little as possible, and dial down the saturation. The defaults are too intense for me, and very misleading. Medien: 3 |

Föderation EN So 02.02.2025 22:10:11 Today was lovely. Am very lucky to share so much of my life with people who show me a path to being my best self. Medien: 1 |

Föderation EN So 02.02.2025 22:15:50 This evening we got a little aurora dancing before dinner. Am starting to get a better knack for reading the satellite data. I still tend to be overly optimistic about how quickly the space weather will arrive on earth, but at least I was ready and waiting when the nordlys began their thing. Medien: 2 |

Föderation EN Mo 03.02.2025 09:35:07 It's a foxy morning here in Norway. Little paw prints leaving a trail in the snow, and purple hues filling the fjord. Medien: 1 |

Föderation EN Di 04.02.2025 14:14:40 This time of year we very excited to see the sun. It reaches out across the frozen lakes, painting in the snow and ice with golden tones. I love it. Medien: 1 |

Föderation EN Di 04.02.2025 21:52:48 From two nights ago. We had clear skies last night but pretty close to zero solar wind. Plenty of stars but no aurora. Some nights it's on fire, some nights it's asleep :) #Nordlys #EwenInNorway #Photography #Norway #Aurora #TimeLapse #LumixS1RII |

Föderation EN Mi 05.02.2025 16:50:18 Textures and a mood. These two images are from several weeks ago when we visited a Sami family and got a chance to say hello to a few of their herd. If you know nothing about the Sami people, then it's worth seeking those who wish to share their stories. These are the people who inhabited the Arctic long before the crowns made it up north. There is great diversity in culture and language across the Sami, and a deep connection to the reindeer. Medien: 2 |

Föderation EN Fr 07.02.2025 21:11:38 I wish more people could see the beauty in our world. The things that make this planet remarkable. The little details. The grandeur of its complexity. The harmony of nature. The preciousness of our very existence. I wish every human on the planet could experience the beauty I've seen, and not just from the photos. #EwenInNorway #Photography #IceAndAuroras #Norway #Nordlys #Lumix #LumixS1RII Medien: 2 |

Föderation EN Mo 10.02.2025 07:53:54 Current mood. A hint of colour in the clouds from a trip to Senja a few weeks back. The sun wasn't yet brave enough to peak over the horizon, but was throwing a few rays for the clouds to catch. Medien: 1 |

Föderation EN Di 11.02.2025 11:00:14 Flashback to a couple of weeks ago, our first night arriving into Senja. Had a lot of aurora activity through the night, and a beautiful location to enjoy the photography. Today it's still 5°C outside and rainy, and most of the snow is long gone. These heat bubbles in the Arctic look like a permanent feature of winter now. That makes life much harder for chasing auroras in the night. Medien: 1 |

Föderation EN Mi 12.02.2025 18:37:57 The snow came home today! OMG the change in mood to look out the windows and see a foot of fluffy white stuff in every direction. Some folks get sad in winter from a lack of sunlight. I get sad from a lack of snow. Climate Change is wrecking the party in Arctic Norway, and we've had weeks of rain instead of snow. But today is a good day. Today is lovely. Medien: 1 |

Föderation EN Do 13.02.2025 00:22:36 Was a bit slow of the mark to notice we had clear skies tonight, and when I stepped outside to check the nordlys were already dancing. Was a lovely show. The moon is super full tonight and lighting up everything. Hence the intense colours. Regardless, this moment of aurora was good enough to compete with the street light just behind the house :) Medien: 1 |

Föderation EN Fr 14.02.2025 15:17:21 Ended up with more clear skies tonight, despite the forecast. Was testing out the S&Q video mode on the new camera today and it happened to be rolling when the aurora spiked in the early evening. I love a little moonlight with aurora photography, even a full moon. Here's a lowres version so I don't fill up the hard drive space on our mastodon instance :) #Norway #Nordlys #EwenInNorway #Auroras #Grovfjord #Photography #TimeLapse |

Föderation EN Fr 14.02.2025 15:44:58 This morning we had a hint of light getting underneath the snow clouds. Enough to make us smile. I'm using a 60-600mm telephoto by Sigma for this scene. It's a big lens that I usually don't make an effort to take off the shelf. This winter I've really loved having it with me for chasing birds and snow capped peaks. #Grovfjord #Norway #Mountains #ArcticLove #EwenInNorway #Lumix #LumixS1RII #SigmaPhoto Medien: 1 |

Föderation EN Sa 15.02.2025 12:14:36 Last shot of the night. Clouds were rolling in and hiding the aurora activity. Just a few embers left at the camp fire. Was one of those night were a bunch of things lined up at the same time. Full moon rising high enough over the mountain to paint across this part of the valley. Fresh powder snow the last few days, but not too deep than I can't walk through it. Warm conditions the week before so the creek was running, and hadn't frozen over yet. Medien: 1 |

Föderation EN Mi 19.02.2025 10:09:58 Have been digging deep into DxO PhotoLab for my aurora photos and have been amazed just how much better the results are when pushing lenses to the limit. It handles noise much better than Capture One, while still holding onto detail. And the lens optimisation for my Sigma 14-24mm is just amazing. Never seen such clarity in my night shots before. Can't believe the software can make such an impact. Medien: 4 |

Föderation EN Mi 19.02.2025 10:27:43 That image was taken with the Lumix S9 + Sigma 14-24mm F2.8, and edited in DxO PhotoLab 6. I am several years behind in my version of PhotoLab, I think the current version is 8 and there's a new one due soon. No need to subscribe either. Pay once. What is great about DxO is the software downloads whatever lens and camera modules as required. You don't need to buy a new update just to use your new camera. The interface is nice enough. Simple and effective. Medien: 4 |

Föderation EN Di 25.02.2025 10:23:29 Here's a treat for being good this week, a timelapse of the forest last night in Arctic Norway. There's a very very big mountain to the south of this creek that holds back the clouds. We constantly get long patches of clear sky even when the entire region is clouded over. And sometimes the aurora activity kicks up at the same time. That's a win. |

Föderation EN Do 27.02.2025 09:53:38 The joy of the unexpected. Yesterday was by any measure a totally shit day for me. Except for one brief break in the clouds. Metaphorical and literal. I stepped outside at twilight to watch another aurora, and over the next hour the cloud cover thinned. And it was a marvellous show. I decided to pop up a camera and start a timelapse in case more nordlys arrived... and I got lucky One of the best auroras I've ever seen. #Photography #LumixS1RII #EwenInNorway #Aurora #Nordlys #Grovfjord |
