A bit of my Insta...

Svenskekløften (Swedish gorge)

On my way through the forest looking for the autumnal colours, I came past this astonishing place: Suddenly the forest opens up in a 25-30 meter deep gorge made by meltwater during the latest ice age.

According to an old legend, the Swedish troops hid here for the Gønge chieftain (Gøngehøvdingen) during the Dano-Swedish War in 1660 - hence the name.

I used a LEE Landscape Polariser filter to enhance the colours and reduce the reflection.

Road to Autumn

I finally found the time to go to the forest and look for autumn colours. 

I was a little afraid that I was too late and all the leaves were gone, but there was no need to worry: the whole scene was astonishing, and I got this shot 1 minut after I left the car.

Beech beach

When you see these fantastic beech trees, you can see why Adam Oehlenschläger had this place in mind when he wrote the Danish national anthem in 1820 (at least so the rumor says).

The part with "...Det står med brede bøge, nær salten østerstrand..." (it stands with broad beech-trees, near the salty eastern shore) really suits this place.

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

An attempt at milky way photography from me. Considering that it is a single shot, I think that it is fine, but in retrospect I should have exposed one for the foreground and another for the sky and then blended in post. However, we learn and we learn and we learn...

The summer2023 , it was 90 years since the Training ship 'Skoleskibet Danmark' was launched from Nakskov Shipyard. On this occasion, the ship was invited to visit Nakskov Harbour.

I was told that the ship would be illuminated at night, so I could not miss that chance, and at 01 a.m. I was ready, and I was so lucky that it was totally still at the same time.

Eurasian pygmy shrew (Sorex minutus)

I went for a hike in quite awful weather with the intent of shooting wildlife, but none of them were particularly cooperative - except for this little guy which I almost stepped on. 

So I just sat down to watch him poke around the ground searching for food, and he did not pay any attention to me no matter how close I was. 

This must be the smallest creature I have ever photographed - he was not more than 3-4 cm.

Common buzzard (Buteo buteo)

On my first tour out with my new lens, I caught this beautiful bird of prey hunting along the fjord.

I must say that this new lens does not disappoint: although taken at a long distance (the image is heavily cropped), it just caught and kept focus on the eye, and the image is sharp like a penguin in a tuxedo...

I met this handsome guy in Dyrehaven north of Copenhagen.

He was just walking around proud and tall, overseeing his herd of  maybe 100 animals.

He might just be the most majestic creature I have ever seen irl.

Tower of Light

Walking along our beaches, I often come across these little cairns or stone stacks, and I always wonder who has the composure and patience to sit and balance these stones into little towers.

Nonetheless, I find that they often make for some fine photos.

Yellow

On one of my walks through the woods my eyes caught this mossy dry-stone wall leading towards this very bright, yellow tree, and I immediately thought: Here’s my shot…

However, it was quite difficult to shoot as there was a lot of bright sky shining through the trees from the left, and even though I used a graduated filter to stop down the upper, left corner, it was still too bright, so I ended up with the yellow tree being a little too close to the edges – at least to my liking. I wish I had a taller tripod…

Furthermore, it took a lot of dodging and burning in post to get a decent output of this image.

What do you think..?

Gold

On the second night of my trip to Harstad, I went for a hike along the water.

It was one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited, but I was struggling to find decent compositions. The distant mountains bathed in the setting sun was spectacular, and I should have brought a longer lens to capture details (there are actually about 12 km to those mountains). Also, I could not find any obvious foregrounds to get a wider shot.

I ended up with this shot which is fine because of the colours and the sailboat in the middle, but I still find that it does not do justice to the beauty of the scene at all.

Sea of Lupines
I came past this amazing field of lupines, and of course I had to stop and get an image or two.

I ended up with this composition with the beautiful Landet Church in the background.

Again I had to focus stack from three images - although I wish I had used more, as a couple of the flowers are a little motion blurred because of the wind.

Filters used:

LEE landscape Polariser to enhance the colours.

LEE 0.3 ND grad to stop down the bright sky just a little bit.

Højerup Old Church - The Church on the Edge

The history of the Church dates all the way back to the 13th century. At the time people said that “kirken flyttede sig et hanefjed ind i landet hver julenat” (the Church moved an inch inland every Christmas Eve). But nature caught up with the Church. In the 15th century the cliff started to chip away at the cemetery with the macabre result that coffins and skeletons started sticking out of the cliff. The ocean washed away the soft chalk at the base of the cliff, and in 1910 people ceased using the Church because it became too dangerous. 

As a result of a major cliff collapse on the 16th of March 1928 at five o'clock in the morning, the chancel of the Church and part of the graveyard crashed into the sea. The partially ruined church quickly became a major attraction. For three days around 40,000 people visited Højerup. They were fascinated by the unusual sight of a torn church and what was left of the chancel, altar, coffins and skeletons on the beach.

The Church was subsequently secured against further collapse. Where the chancel used to be, there is now an observation terrace, where you literally hang on the cliff with a spectacular view of the Baltic Sea and the World Heritage Site. The Church is decorated with stunning frescoes.

Although the Church no longer officially serves as a church, it is a popular place to get married in. Every year, about 150 civil wedding ceremonies take place in the Church.

I was hoping for a better sunset, but it disappeared behind the clouds – so I dropped in the 10 stop filter to make a loooong exposure instead.

LEE 0.9 Reverse grad
LEE Big Stopper
