The first days of 2009 came with brilliant light and freezing cold weather, ideal for waterfowl photography. I spent a couple of mornings shooting ducks, divers and swans at sunrise with nice backlight. "Luckily" it is now back to normal in Stavanger with mild weather and rain. That means I have time to get ready for the talks I am having in January and February. First of is a full night of Wilderness and Wildlife encounters around the world, on Thursday 22nd of January. More information will be posted on the blog. I am also planning my trips for 2009, and I am as excited as ever with both Svalbard and Kenya on the list.

In Poland, it is this way popular and common bird a satisfying photo isn't.
It is bing a waste of the meter of the shutter in the set. Photo przrodnicze it is the photographer's trophy. How I was saying the common, requiring no preparations image.
