The many faces of Kirkjufell
Kirkjufell mountain is one of the most popular locations for photographers in Iceland. There is something magical about this magnificent mountain. The sunset and sunrise give magical colors to the surroundings, sometimes crazy colors and this mountain is becoming a icon for photography in...
Nikon D500 for bird photography
Nikon just messed up my mind in terms of gear options for bird photography. I am probably not the only one who sees the benefits of a crop sensor for bird photography but since I have been using Nikon D4s for almost two years...
The power of photography
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...

Waiting for pray
Today is day two of hide photography. Sitting in a camo tent waiting for sea eagles. The word silence get's a new meaning. We hear birds kilometers away and honey bees flying by sound like airplanes. No wind.
