In this picture you can see the optical phenomenon called Fata Morgana, on the coast in Northern Norway. Please click the image to get a larger view of the phenomenon. Notice how the coast (especially the small island on the left) is “miraged”. The phenomenon is a result of differences in temperature.
You can read more about Fata Morgana in this article on Wikipedia.

Check out this picture from last winter where the Fata Morgana phenomenon also appears.

The rivers have started to freeze here in Northern Norway and in this pictures you can see drops from the small water fall have frozen on branches and straws.
I used 15 seconds exposure in this photo to get the look of the water fall. Long exposure photography have been a hit for me lately, but the weather have been very gray and boring so there haven’t been many opportunities to take photos. That is why there have been so few updates on this blog.

Focal Length: 19 mm
ISO Speed: 100

The days are definitely getting shorter here in Northern Norway! I took this picture 4 PM in the “evening”.
I really love this scene with the combination of mountain and sea (and of course the boatsheds).

A similar scene, in a spring setting, can be seen in this photo.

Picture of river using a 10 seconds long exposure

10 second long exposure picture of a river
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera October 21st 2007. Click image for larger view.

In this picture I have used a 10 seconds long exposure to create the foggy and metallic look on the river. I love the look running waters gets from long exposures.
It has to be pretty dark to be able to get long exposures or use a special filter. I don’t have a filter like that so I had to wait for twilight. The forest seems very different when it gets dark. A bit spooky 😉

Check out this long exposure picture I took of a rocky beach.

Focal Length: 22 mm

Found this stream when I was walking in the forest and since I love photos of running water I had to take a picture of the stream with autumn colored leaves laying around.
I used a longer shutter speed to create the “foggy” effect on the water.
