Getting personal

I have been visiting Ole Martin three times now, and still I get surprised by the enthusiasm shown by this marvellous nature guide. This time I went together with the product specialist of Nikon Norway and representatives from pro dealer “Stavanger Foto”. They wanted to see how Norway Nature is run, as well as learning about the challenges (and joys!!) nature photographers are facing in their work. We spent three days with Ole Martin, and had a blast!


I wanted to get close up and personal with the eagles and spent a lot of time with the 500mm in a rocking boat. The wind was good however, so the birds came in very close to the boat. Still, the White-tailed Eagle is not a slow diver so I had my challenges keeping up. The framerate is great for this kind of photography, and several shots came out quit nicely.



Now I will be spending the next week moving into a new house, so I guess there will not be much photography done - but I will be back!

Have a great summer!

Diving into summer

I have just been so busy lately, and it is not looking any better in the near future. This weekend I am heading up north with Nikon and Stavanger Foto to visit the Eagleman himself Ole Martin Dahle. It will be nice to se the great guy again. I am also counting on getting some new White-tailed Eagle shots while I am up there. I will try to post some while I am up north.

The week after we will be moving into a new house! We are really looking forward to that.

Meanwhile I thought I should share a couple of frames from an evening session by the coast. About 50 terns were constantly diving after you Herring in front of me. I was shooting continuously for 2,5 hours and ended up with over 300 keepers on file. For your information, over 1000 images was deleted afterwards - shooting diving terns with a 500mm is no game :-)
