Follow-up to shores of Horten

Inspired by mondays field trip to shores of Horten, I gave it another shot. Morning light this time.
Some gulls and swans became todays motive. The heads of flying swans did unfortunately not become quite crispy, but they were so close that I´ll just have to show them.

A quick shoot in morning lights

Bucephala Clangula  - Norwegian name: Kvinand

I´ll try to do this in English. New on Twitter with foreign followers.
Been out on a small photoshoot this morning. At least 5 degrees below zero. Several seagulls and some ducks. The light was perfect.  But as a "noob" I´ve been working at least an our in Lightroom ;)  Now i´ll have to catch my ordinary "day job" so i´ll try to publish some more pictures later.

Kaldvær gir flere arter


I dag dukket det opp flere arter på fuglebrettet. Kombinert med kulde under -10, gir en ukes iherdig og variert foring resultat. Flere nøtteskriker, gulspurv, og grønnfinker dukket opp. I tillegg til kjøttmeis, blåmeis, og svarttrost tok også svartmeisen seg en tur i dag.
