Some fairly recent sun sets I'm posting after some processing.
This time I managed to be out on site in time before the sun managed to set behind the horizon!
This one came out a bit over the top with the colors but I decided to keep it like that nad the water looks a bit weird after merging the seven exposures...
Took the car out to a spot where I haven't been before to do HDR:s, Finnäset.
The calm weather allowed all the pollen stay on the water surface, but it looks pretty good anyway.
This was actually on the way out on to the peninsula had to try capture the light in the woods. Thankful for the non existent wind. =)
A final shot before the sun disappeared behind the mountains...
Captured a couple of Northern Pikes in their act, I could hear the splashing a long time before I managed to spot them, they didn't take much notice of me. :)
Yesterday started with a dull morning but toward the afternoon the skies cleared up, noticed some clouds over lake Väsman and decided to take a chance there would be a nice sunset.
I was lucky! :)
Took the car to "Hällarna" behind ABB and took a series of exposures with the boulder in frame: Looking out on the ice I saw that a small pool of water had formed on top of the ice, since the water was so low I dared to go out a bit on the ice and take a close look and few shots: View to to the other direction, nice cracks in the ice! :)
All shots tonemapped in PhotomatixHDR and shot with Nikon D7000 + Nikon 10.5/f2.8 Fisheye.
Got a later evening than expected, noticed a cool halo effect round the moon and I just had to try capture it, unfortunately the effect started to fade away just minutes after I got all my gear outside and getting the right settings...
Nikon D7000 + Nikkor 10.5mm/f2.8 Fisheye
Since I had all the stuff out already I took the opportunity to play around with a sparkler. :)
This Tuesday I was invited, by a friend, to try capture some corona discharge in a high voltage station. Not as easy as it might sound, the corona is hard to locate with your bare eyes since it's mostly ultraviolet light, but after some trial and error, and once the eyes got used to the dark, it was possible to glimpse where the light was brightest.
One could hear the sound of discharge coming from all over the place but it's impossible to locate it by sound on distance. It was freezing cold and the exposure times varied from 30seconds to almost 5minutes.
Used the Samyang 85mm/f1.4, Nikkor AF-S 300mm/f4 and and some shots with the Nikkor 10.5mm/f2.8 Fisheye.
Made some tone-mapped HDR:s from the fisheye shots. Dr. Frankenstein kindly declined the offer to pose in the photos.

Last weeks plan to get to the Velodrome in Falun didn't work out so by Thursday I felt I had to get out and get some exercise, tried to get out of work early so that I might catch the last rays of the sun.
It had been a really nice day with blue skies and sunshine but my co-workers seemed to keep me occupied, finally at last got away but the sun was setting by the time I got out of the flat.
I bet the birds was high enough to still see the sun...
Took the route by the stream, thought I'd try to ride the other direction than last time. Since then there had been some snow fall so I hopefully wouldn't have to worry about slippery ice this time!
There was some head wind so the poogies was a blessing.
Gah! Can't be that long ago the sun went below the horizon...
Here I went out on the ice.
Perfect grip! There was a centimeter or two of snow on the ice and it was not loose.
Could keep good speed, but the wind was colder than I had anticipated.
About to round the pier, didn't want to cross the ice where ABB had a water outlet, still open water there!
Further ahead I one again went out on the lake. Followed the snow mobile tracks.
Still head wind.
That's haw deep the inprints from my tires was.
Stunning scenery!
Found some tracks going the direction I wanted to go, decided to follow them.
Sorry about the wind noise!
Rounded the cape and wind shelter I visited a few weeks ago.
Had to look out that I kept the bike on the snow and not cross to many slippery patches!
Just had to stop and try perpetuate the scenery!
Just before I got where I was heading I cane across this ice track, probably used for snow mobiles but I wouldn't say no to try some motor bike with spike tires on it! :)
Now I had to stop and get a extra wind jacket from my Camel Bak, felt like the temperature kept falling and the wind didn't help! Just look how seriously bad it was! ;)
Ludvika somewhere on the right.
Followed the tracks back on to land again.
Starting to get dark, surprised how much snow still hang on the trees.
On to the bike lane.
Time to head back to Ludvika, the wind jacket started to help getting warm again.
Just had to stop and check out the poor wooden boat some one had left in the water before the ice set. Wonder if it will make it?
Hmm, think my tiny flashlight on the bike might blind on coming traffic....
Back home again, time to get ready for Thursday sushi (went for the yakiniku though) and first film for the season at the Film club.
Just a pity I didn't manage to get out earlier, but then again I would had the sun in the eyes most of the way. =)
Hope there will be good weather this weekend, might be a revisit!
There is currently a small photo competition on Cyberfoto, a on-line camera store. The theme is winter and there's a chance to win a Canon Ixus 1000 HS.
Decided to send in some winter shots and one of them got mentioned on the Cyberfoto-blog today! :)
