Bird and Mountain

Once again the splendor of Svlabard shines through.  In this image on my recent September visit to Svalbard, I was o the deck of the ship shooting a sunset.  There was literally a 360 degree view and I walked around the ship shooting a number of compositions.  In this shot I was fortunate that a bird flew into the frame.  I think the bird makes this image successful. It puts wildlife into the landscape.

I used a Sony a1 to photograph this with a 100-400mm lens.  The dynamic range of the camera sensor let me hold detail in the sky and at the same time allowed me to recover detail in the shadows of the bird and the mountain.  I used Capture One for the RAW image processing.

Reindeer Stare Down

Svalbard has its own reindeer known as Svalbard Reindeer.  They are smaller and have shorter legs.  They are strange animals with big building eyes.  Here’s one that was staring me down.

Svalbard First Night 2022

The beauty of a late season trip to Svalbard
The beauty of a late-season trip to Svalbard

 

I just returned from two weeks in Svalbard, one of my happy places.  I took 11,000 images which will be edited down to around 100.  That’s the hard part. This is the sunset from one of our first nights in Svalbard.  Lots more to come.
