#lumixs1r2 — Public Fediverse posts

The last light on Machhapuchhre. Each time I thought this view was fading into dusk, just a hint more colour would come through. This image taken on the Lumix S1RII and Sigma 60-600mm lens. Amazing combination, and amazing detail in the RAW file.⁠

The joy of the unexpected.

Yesterday was by any measure a totally shit day for me. Except for one brief break in the clouds. Metaphorical and literal.

I stepped outside at twilight to watch another aurora, and over the next hour the cloud cover thinned. And it was a marvellous show. I decided to grab a camera and start a timelapse in case more nordlys arrived... and I got lucky

One of the best auroras I've ever seen.

I've been secretly posting shots from the new Lumix S1RII over the last few months. It's been my default camera in Norway this year.

It's new and it's pretty cool.

It's got more pixels than the S5II. Faster internal data rates (CF Express) than the S5IIx. Better AF than the original S1R or S1H. It's got better high speed video than anything Lumix have made. And a funky twist to the rear screen. Etc etc.

It's very nice.

Here's a treat for being good this week, a timelapse of the forest last night in Arctic Norway.

There's a very very big mountain to the south of this creek that holds back the clouds. We constantly get long patches of clear sky even when the entire region is clouded over. And sometimes the aurora activity kicks up at the same time. That's a win.

Last shot of the night.

Clouds were rolling in and hiding the aurora activity. A few embers left at the camp fire. One of those night were a bunch of things lined up at the same time.

Full moon rising high enough over the mountain to paint across this part of the valley. Fresh powder snow the last few days, but not too deep than I can't walk through it. Warm conditions the week before so the creek was running, and hadn't frozen over yet.

This morning we had a hint of light getting underneath the snow clouds. Enough to make us smile.

I'm using a 60-600mm telephoto by Sigma for this scene. It's a big lens that I usually don't make an effort to take off the shelf. This winter I've really loved having it with me for chasing birds and snow capped peaks.

I wish more people could see the beauty in our world. The things that make this planet remarkable. The little details. The grandeur of its complexity. The harmony of nature. The preciousness of our very existence.

I wish every human on the planet could experience the beauty I've seen, and not just from the photos.

From two nights ago. We had clear skies last night but pretty close to zero solar wind. Plenty of stars but no aurora.

Some nights it's on fire, some nights it's asleep :)

This time of year we very excited to see the sun. It reaches out across the frozen lakes, painting in the snow and ice with golden tones. I love it.

I did leave the comfort of my log fire last night, and the clouds did clear away in time for a little aurora activity around midnight.

This planet is just such a remarkable place to live. It's worth preserving.

Let the sun shine in.

Today we had lots of lovely sunshine kissing the cheeks. I love the combination of sunny and cold.

Hoping to get a nice timelapse out of this scene today. Clear skies are such a treat in the middle of winter.

Every so often I remember to try a panorama of the location where I am. Am rarely disappointed. Something about the compression plus wide aspect feels lovely compared to just shooting with a super wide lens.

Anyhoo, will start sharing pics outside of Grovfjord soon. Still working my way through the backlog of RAW files. This was taken yesterday when the light was peachy.
