Impressions

in

Gentle waves and ripples on water can create nice, distorted reflections. I have published a few examples of this in the past. But for some reason those images seem a bit stale, perhaps even "old". So I decided to prolong the exposure to make the images a bit more abstract. And here is an example of the images I got from this slightly different approach.

At Haukelifjell one Year later

About this time of year last year I posted a couple of images from Haukelifjell, a mountain range on the way from the eastern to the western part of south Norway.  This image is taken a bit further west than the two images I posted last summer.

The images from last year were taken a couple of weeks earlier than this one, and the air was warmer and the snow melting. This year conditions were quite the opposite. The weather was a lot colder and the road was closed due to snow storms the day before and the the after I drove across.

It's all been done before

No matter what you do, chances are that what you are making an image of has been photographed before. You may have studied the work of well known photographers, or painters for that matter, and face the motive with a lot of references that may inspire you, or worse, intimidate you. So you are faced with the hard task of finding your interpretation of the scene in front of you. That can sometimes be rather difficult, but rewarding when you feel you have succeeded. (If you are familiar with the history of photography you may know which image this one is inspired by.)
