Photos

I thought this shot against the light of the fascinating halo effect would be a nice picture in BW.

It´s taken by the riverside downtown Tornio where I live and I had to "run around" in the deep snow, the sweat was flooding as I was looking for viewing angles. It´s always a hurry when something appears in the sky, one can´t hesitate as it can be gone within some few seconds. Anyway I had to plan and be careful not leaving any foot prints in the snow to be shown in the photo, I have learned from my mistakes. It´s really boring with fotprints in the snow from a human being in a shot full of magic.

I was standing in the snow up to my tighs when having this shot and I thought I can create the right feeling in the post processing if the camera doesn´t capture it in the way that I felt about it.

Because of the special circumstances I allowed myself to change the light and contrast quite a lot and I did sharpen the focus 100 % just to touch up the picture with a little bit mysterious feeling as the lapland landscape felt really magic at this moment. I hope you accept it as I don´t like my photography to look too faked.
