When winter reaches Swedish Lapland, the landscape is turned into a magical, frozen world.

When winter arrives, in Swedish Lapland, this vast and deserted land is turned into a magical, almost supernatural world - with endless white landscap

The limestone stacks at the coastline are very special for Gotland. This particular one is called "the Dog" due to its shape.

Lapporten - this impressive landmark in the North of Sweden symbolizes the gate to Swedish Lapland.

It was a beautiful winter evening . Once the sun has set, the lights of the bridge were lit up and reflected on the surface of the river.

Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken on the premises of Stora Sundby Castle, a beautiful castle which is located in south Sweden, 2 hours west of Stockholm.

Time

I took this shot during my summer vacation last year on a beautiful sunny afternoon.

Lighting

Since I took the shot on a sunny afternoon I didn‘t have the softest light conditions, but the photo turned out pretty good anyway! The lesson that I learned is that „there is no bad light“!

Equipment

For this shot I used my Canon EOS R with the RF 24-70mm f/2.8 lens. No other equipment was involved.

Inspiration

For me Stora Sundby Castle is a very impressive building. The architecture symbolizes a calendar - 4 large towers for the seasons, 12 smaller towers for the months of the year, 52 rooms for the weeks and one window for each day of the year (365).

Editing

I did some basic adjustments in Lightroom. E.g. bringing down the highlights and up with the shadows, adding some contrast and saturation.

In my camera bag

I always use my Canon EOS R and have three lenses for different situations. In most situations I use the RF 35-70mm, but emphasizing details in landscapes or buildings I also love to use my telezoom 70-300mm. In addition I use my ultra-wide angle lens 14-35mm e.g. for night skies or architectural photos.

Feedback

I wanted to capture the castle with the view from the gardens so I can take some of the colors of the flowers in the foreground. That turned out to look really cool on the photo! I think it‘s always a good idea to think about the foreground as well!
