Fun in the winter forest
The weather forecast kept saying that last night would be completely overcast. The full moon and stars in the sky disagreed though and after all the snowfall earlier this week, the conditions were just perfect to try some night photography.
As I was peering up through the tree crowns I noticed that the sky wasn’t quite as clear as it had seemed at first – there was some very light cloud that dimmed the stars a little bit. It wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, I like the effect of the clouds especially when they are blurred by the long shutter speed.
I wish we could have more nights like this. That feeling when you’re in a quiet snowcovered forest and the moon is shining bright enough so you don’t need a flashlight to see where you’re going… awesome!
I was really looking forward to enjoying the winter landscape today as well. Yesterday they were still saying that it would be around -15°C today but it was -22°C in the morning and now the forecast is around -20 degrees the whole day. Not sure if I enjoy the winter landscape quite that much… I hope the temperatures will rise a little bit in the afternoon because it kills me to miss the scenery as it is at the moment!

Darn, I had no time for photography yesterday. It was indeed nice looking evening with moon shining big and all… And then today, when I have time to try, then nothing. No pics for me
Just as well that I got some pictures last night. Today was just as cold as I feared and then I got hit by a headache from hell so I had zero inspiration to go out. The bad news is that it seems like it’s going to be even colder tomorrow… but I’m ok with that as long as the headache doesn’t come back!
