My First Packraft Journey

Sun shining in the middle of the day — not the optimal light, but I think I managed to catch a few images that suggest the arrival of spring. Pale green on some of the birches while many trees are still bare; newly ploughed fields beside stretches of light green grass. Inspired by the style of James Popsys and realising there is great potential for improvements. Still searching for my own voice in this.

Daily life perspectives

Since mid-April I have felt my curiosity for creating images rise. Commuting to work in different locations has given me the opportunity to explore the areas around them: just outside my door at home, in Nannestad, Lillestrøm and, of course, Moss. This collection is from the last two weeks. I have been experimenting with birds in early morning and evening skies, light and shadow, and close-ups. The close-ups were inspired by a photo quiz for kids during “Folkehelseuka 2026” at Urskog Fort.

European Adder

Went on an excursion with Aurskog og Høland Fotoklubb under the very professional guidance of Thor Håkonsen. The goal for the day was to find and photograph these reptiles in their natural habitat. I would never have seen them if it hadn’t been for Thor’s guidance and local knowledge. Thor willingly shared his vast experience from photographing reptiles all over the world. We saw about ten individuals; I managed to photograph a couple of them, as did my colleagues from the club. It was a rewarding experience — learning more about the animals and being able to take close-up pictures under Thor’s proper supervision.

Different perspectives

March has passed and April brings another step toward spring. Here are some pictures I captured at the end of the month: Gåfossen and Kringlerfossen in Nannestad, and a final image from a short visit to Grønland in Oslo. A mixed palette this time — from the small cascades of water to the entrance to Grønland and its contrasting architecture.

Fog

The fog makes the images softer and more simple. I went out to search for an area where I hoped to capture some pictures when the sun broke through the thick fog from a viewpoint offering a view down towards the Glomma River south of Mysen. That never happened, but I took the opportunity to capture a few foggy frames in the flat, diffused light.

Shapes and colours

With my camera, I wandered out to see if any images presented themselves and discovered shapes and colours suspended for a short time before vanishing the following day.

Sun Breaking Through, Snow Retreating

After a long spell of grey skies and a colourless landscape, the sun managed to break through a thick cloud cover and bathe the fields in a warm, golden glow with deep shadows. The vast open plains around Nannestad came alive. I paused on my drive to work to frame this beautiful scene.

Between Monday and Friday — A Workweek

Early March: a typical week when winter slowly loses its grip and spring struggles to break through. Fog hangs in the air, and bright days bring beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The snow is melting, surrendering the secrets it once hid beneath a pure white blanket—now wet and stained.
