Hallo!

Sorry! I have not been much at my blog the last weeks!

 

But it have been a good season for me and lots of guest during May-June and July. So the last days of July and first 6 days of Aug I hade  some days of! I have a wife and two boys who would like to see their father and do something togetter!!  And i realy enjoyed this days as well:-)

So the first day of I asked Wenche what she would like to do. She said " could we go out fishing?"  Only me and you. So nice of here, but i realy like my life out in the boat and this was a wonderful first day of my holiday.

Caught some Mackerels and the evening meal was as good as it could be.

After that we wanted to go for a mountain walk in Dovrefjell, we would like to get to the top of Søhetta, one of the moust beautiful mountain in Norway- about 2260 meters.

BUT: Now it's not possible to drive with your ovn car into Snøheim and you need to get a buss. So we meet up at 0830 to take the buss.BUT:  230 people was waiting for this buss and it was only one! I would never be in a queue for walking in the mountain. We hade a smil and went on our ovn walk in the mountains. 

So first we hade a look at a viewpoint and it was just a great building in a beautiful surrounding. Beautiful.

 

So after this two days we went to Røros and went for an outdoor theater called " ELDEN" . It was just great at atmosphere, beautiful music and a good story.

So now I am ready for new guests and realy looking forward to meet new people. Eagles are great, Otter in the sea, Moose on the filds and mybe a new Red Fox. Take care and hope to see you all in Flatanger!!! 

Thanks Ole!

Springtime for us as nature-photographers is like party every day! But springtime in Scandinavia is even a bigger party, two elusive birds start to show themselves and perform a spectacular display, in the middle of ancient forests and bogs: the huge Capercaillie and noisy Black grouse.

Displays don't last that long however, so to have the best of the best, you need to plan your photography very careful! Our company Tierra Photo Tours was lucky to be able to book a week at Ole's place this year to photograph 'his' Capercaillie and 'his' Black grouse at exactly the right time!

 

Both species are displaying in a wonderful scenery here in Flatanger: the Caper performs it's show in an ancient boreal forest and the Black grouse on a bog in a fjord. Both spectacular spots, that are so photogenic you don't even need a bird to love the landscape! Birds were in the middle of their highest courtship, and we witnessed fighting, mating and lot's of impressing of rivals! So a lot of good photo- opportunities!

                            

On our previous trips to Norway with Ole, we have found out that options here are endless, so this trip turned out to be another head-cracking time of choices: do we want to do the Capercaillie tomorrow, or the Black grouse, or the White tailed eagles and gulls, or the Red squirrels and Bullfinches and Crested tits, or do we want to shoot landscapes in the spectacular ancient boreal rainforest,...?? Too much to choose, and that's why we come here ànd come back, time after time!

 

Looking forward to our next visit, Ole, and keep up the good work!

Thanks! Yves Adams Tierra Photo Tours

Back for the 5th time ☺

Our 5th visit to Lauvsnes was again a joy and inspiration.

The light is always changing in the Norwegian fjords and this combined with ample opportunities to meet eagles and gulls feels like paradise. Every time we expect the unexpected and it happens again and again.

Beautiful warm light at sunset, dark skies with stripes of sun in between, soft diffuse light, ultimate backlight conditions: conditions that can be optimally used and enjoyed through the expert guidance of Ole.

New experiments with slow shutter speeds and unusual or extreme light conditions provided new insights in many more options. We will come back to continue this voyage of discovery on a next occasion later this year and in visits to come.
