Just a quick shoot after lunch to capture some of that winter light as it moves through the fjord...

3 hours later....

#Photography #WorkshopWithEwen #WinterLight

Last night we took everyone up to the top of a mountain, grilled hot sandwiches over the fire and ate muffins.

And we shot some auroras too :)

This has been the best workshop we've ever run. Two decades of learned experience distilled into two weeks of adventure and immersion. It's been calm and enriching. Lovely people and a wonderful way to connect with nature and photography.

Maybe you weren't expecting this today. The last flush of pink departing on the horizon before nightfall.

It's been a golden few weeks here in The Arctic. Some days of cloud and grey, some of gold and light. We try to make the most of the good stuff, and focus on those memories.

One more pic today. We set the cameras rolling on timelapse mode, then step back to enjoy some hot chocolate and just watch the show unfold. This capture was from one of the last flushes, when the ribbons danced rapidly to the north. Our entire fjord was light up with green neon.

Sharing these evenings with a great bunch of people makes it doubly special.

Everyone had just gone to bed when the satellite data wiggled. Within 30 minutes we had assembled by the shores of a frozen lake and setup the cameras, and watched the nordlys unfold. Slowly at first, just a gentle band in the north.

And then it all went disco.

Captured on the Lumix S9 with Sigma 14-24mm F2.8. Exposures were 2.5 seconds at F2.8 and ISO 4000.

In the dark even the gentlest of light can feel bright.

Night of February 7, 2026.

Here's a little more detail on that fishing boat. I took so many photos in the space of a few minutes.

Maybe this was the highlight of the day. Moments before the sun retreated behind the mountains we got a chance to photograph this little fishing boat. Such beautiful craftsmanship, and a stunning location.

I come from a country that is famous for being sunburnt. It's such a joy to be standing outside in the middle of the day and it's still -15°C. Winter light does magical things to a landscape.

We had such a groovy day out today. From the first glimpse of sun, to the very last. This is why I love winter in Arctic Norway so much.

I have a saying that "Shellie makes everything better". And these workshops are absolutely taken up a level because of her cooking. Not only do we eat better than anybody else in the entire Arctic, but we get to stay in remote locations far from the crowds.

I remember the old days of trying to run these workshops and relying on local kitchens, and the usual choice of "salmon or reindeer"... and OMG we are so lucky to have Shellie in our lives.

Snowy day today so we had a photo shoot with one of Shellie favie cakes. Chocolate and Red Wine Cake :) It's a modest style of cake, but hits all the right notes.

Here's the final version. Cropped and punched in to show a little detail.

I increasingly get people commenting on my youtube videos with things like "nobody wants to edit photos anymore, just get it right in camera" or something to that effect. I don't believe in shooting JPG to begin with, and fundamentally that's on the basis that RAW files have more creative potential.

This whole idea of being militant against editing photos just seems weird to me. If you don't wanna dig deep into photography then you don't have to, but why leave aggressive comments for people who are exercising a little skill and artistic pursuit?

Sometimes the light is a but rubbish but we keep taking photos anyway, and sometimes those RAW files totally surprise me with how much you can extract from its murky depths. Here's a before and after of this White-tailed Sea Eagle, taken from a moving boat at ISO 3200 and the 500mm end of a telephoto zoom.

Hoping to see them again on a day when the sun is with us.

While waiting on the jetty this morning we got a visit from a pair of White-tailed Sea Eagles. We saw them a few times while out on the fjord, but the light was not nearly as inspiring as this moment.
