Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken on New Year's Eve last year in Kløfta, Norway , before fireworks.

Time

About 23:10 pm . I was very scared because it was minus 20 degrees Celsius. and I was afraid the frame would freeze. Unfortunately there was already an example of it when I was up in the Jotunheimen Mountains. There it was minus 29 degrees Celsius and the whole machine went down during the exposure.

Lighting

I didn't use outside or extra lighting or flash. I only paid attention to the exposure time and aperture.

Equipment

I use Nikon D5100 and Tamron 18-400 mm objective. I took photos during such a party mood that I forgot to take out the tripod so I used the top of my car instead of a tripod. i confess that a good photographer should be creative and problem solving. :)

Inspiration

I just wanted to create a really festive atmosphere , seasoned with little Norway feeling. To me, north means everything. That’s why I create all my pictures to include me and the North.

Editing

I just use some effect in Luminar Ai , not too much . the lights are rows of lights , not artificially edited. An outdoor courtyard ornament made by a neighbor for Christmas.

In my camera bag

Just an extra battery. another objective / Nikkor 18-55 mm VR/

Feedback

Follow their inner intuitions. Tune in to the landscape.do not take pictures immediately. sometimes it’s better to first look at the subject you want to photograph with your own eyes.
