The aurora forecast mentioned strength level 10 out of 10 maximum. This made it tempting to go out and find some motives. When driving from Akureyri to Godafoss waterfall which is a 30 min drive the sky was green and glowing in the Eyjafjordur...

Birds are in general difficult models. Some more difficult than others. Few years ago when me and Gyda, my wife planned to photograph Sea-eagles we did not really have any idea of what we where getting into. We had good experience with most bird...

I have been lucky to have been driven by passion in my photography career. I believe it´s only healthy to stop once in a while and consider where we are heading and ask why we do what we do. What makes photographers run or...
