In September I was having a field trip in Portugal, looking on different rocks to understand hydrocarbon systems. I did have my camery with me; below are some photos from the trip.

Birds from Tele

I have replaced my 70-200m f2.8 with a lighter 70-200m f4 this autumn. Here are some photos of birds, shot on one of the trips for testing the lense.

Female mallard (Anas platyrhynchos).

Feral pigeons (Columba livia domestica)

House sparrow (Passer domesticus)

Some weeks ago I grabbed my photo equipment with my 105mm lense attached to the camera, and went out for some inspiration. I met this female at a lake some minutes walk from where I live in Trondheim. Not the best lense (should have had my 70-200mm) to capture birds with, but the results are fair enough.

Yesterday, it was a cold and sunny day in Trondheim, so I and a friend of mine went up to Gråkallen, a small mountain outside the centrum of Trondheim. Here are some photos from the trip.

One day in the summer vacation we visited Grip. Grip is a small island outside Kristiansund in Norway. Here are some of the photos that I took during the visit.

We were attending a wedding in Rondane some weeks ago. On the last day before we went back to Trondheim, we spent some hours walking towards Rondvassbu in Rondane. Here are some photos from that short trip.

I was attending a conference in Longyearbyen on Svalbard in April this year. One afternoon was spent on a snow mobile exploring some of the fantastic nature up there. Here are some photos from the trip.

Four photos of different butterflies. I’ve only been capable of finding the name for one of the butterflies… The photos were taken in the areas around Zurich, Switzerland.
