Today we excited to explore a bit the route from Svensby towards Lyngen and the heart of the Lyngen Alps. Given that day light lasted about 2 hours, we did most of the driving in almost perfect darkness. The amazing thing is you get outside, set up your gear and take a long exposure and in front of your eyes landscapes of pure fairytales emerge in the viewer of your camera :)
I'm so excited to start blogging for GERMINAL from today!

I was super excited to see and photograph burrowing owls with chicks. My husband and I found a few different nests and were able to witness some wonderful behavior. Here the chicks posed nicely in front of a pond.
In the field of excited sighs
Inside natures open thighs
Grows a beauty, oh so sweet
That my fingers they do meet
That my fingers they caress
Natures defences, i undress
Allowing my sun to now cover
My sweet, wild growing lover
That fills the field with excited sighs
That opens wide, it's waiting thighs
Waiting for my love, to descend
cover it with sunshine, that will never end
A rich purple color winding out of a soft but clean white. No Photoshop. This is the actual purple color. Amazing what nature can offer.
Pretty excited to find this one, which i only found once several years ago.A predatory hunter, always near water.Check out those raptorial front legs!!!
Thanks for your comments and faves, they are truly appreciated.

While I've seen my share of ruby-crowned kinglets, not many share with me their crown ... for which they're named. I think that he was excited to see us. :-)

Happy Arachtober First! I'm so excited to start this season off with a burst of colour with the beautiful, Peucetia viridians, green lynx spider. I found this lovely gal early the other morning resting on a rose.
A Tufted Titmouse watches with great anticipation as some peanuts are placed out after heavy rains over the past days.
Recently excited by trying to capture a minimalist fine art photo I set out early at 4:00 am to catch the early light. I had recalled there was an old concrete pier about 20 yards off the beach that would make a great subject. I hadn't been out there for many years and knowing Lake Michigan is at an extremely high level I checked Google Earth Pro and was excited to see it was visible again. I arrived only to find the access road was now gated and locked, hours 8:00 am to sunset. Returning later that morning I discovered that pier was still under water and I had failed to look at the date on Google Earth which was set to an old date in history 2013. Not what I was hoping for but still great to get out shooting again!
Can you image me being excited by the display of all these warm colors! I usually leave the sun out of my photo but today the colors appeared after sunrise. Isn't this a lovely jetty, but I wonder .... why isn't it symmetrical?
I remember how excited I was the first time I saw the Ruby-crowned Kinglet in my bird bath earlier this year. It was so skittish and took me a long time before I got a photo. This little one has become so comfortable with the amenities in my yard, he/she has been willing to pose for some photos today. I am so happy to welcome a new regular to my yard. BUT, the other regular Cooper's Hawk came for a visit today, too. I don't think it got anything, but you know...
In my previous article, like many photographer, I was very excited about the release of the new R6 and R5 because they offered tremendous advances.
www.flickr.com/photos/garivalden/50209737163/in/dateposted/
I bought the R6, the Canon RF 100-500mm and sold everything to buy again a 5D mark III
Why? Because the Canon R6 is also that:
1) Delivery of the RF – EF Adapter Ring offered by Canon has arrived 60 days after purchase. Fortunately, my nice store went out of its way to lend me one.
Many customers have suffered this and it is scandalous on the part of Canon not to have integrated the ring in the original box.
2) Prepare to pay (and I'm not even talking about new RF lenses)
- a very fast and robust SD card to enjoy the burst like the Sony Tough SD
- Resistant, I used Lightroom 6 box. To read new raw CR3s, you need Lightroom Classic
- To make the photos look like a Canon Picture Style you need a quality color profile, thank you to Damien Bernal for your recommendations
The choice of an L Bracket is complicated with this screen, Tom Migot has devoted several videos to it.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=LA25FyekVKY
The R6 is with High ISO but if you want a very clean result, Denoise by Topaze is the best Tool , So, one question: Why have I never needed it before?
www.flickr.com/photos/garivalden/51296276233
This photo at 12800 iso will be almost unusable on 5D Mark III but never forget that the easiest and most beautiful thing is to take pictures when there is ... light
- The second battery is essential. It is difficult to say how many pictures you can take with one battery but I advise you to double your battery park as well as the charging time.
For years, I shot without ever thinking about the drums with a second in the bag never used.
3) The ergonomics of the R6 disappointed me and brought nothing
- The grip is worse than before. However, I have small hands and the handle seems too small to me. Those with large hands have their little finger in the air and some props even sell a base to add.
I wore for years a 5d Mark III with a 300mm 2.8mm IS II sometimes by the tips of two fingers to tell if the whole thing was balanced.
- The SD card door opens only by friction. There is still a small slot to slide a nail with difficulty, but the 5d Mark III and IV opened more easily with one hand.
The adjustable screen has never been useful to me because its tilt to the left of the device is not practical and even less with the L bracket
Touch has never been useful to me, in the field physical buttons are more practical
4 / A user experience that sometimes disappoints:
- Eye tracking stalls when it is too complicated in the foliage. Does the ultimate portrait of your dreams with a subject against a pretty background require this technology?
- In billebaude if you take your camera back, it will sometimes take a while before everything turns on again. Several times I had to turn off the R6 completely because the autofocus didn't know where it was.
- You see a beautiful sunset, you take your R6, you put your eye in the viewfinder and there… disappointment. Why not keep looking in our good old DSLR?
5) The rendering of R5 and R6 is often very different in appearance compared to DSLR.
More so if you mount a native RF lens.
Is it the technology or the level of detail that wants this? The shots often appear to be very artificially separated, and natural colors like grass are sometimes strange. I know you can change everything in PP, but all of this bothers me and takes me away from the pictorial and cinematographic universe.
My daughter came home from school with a drastically different school photo than I saw for a decade, I got it, the canon photographer (my daughter had asked a few years ago ;-) had bought an R6 or R5 and the schoolyard became a bit strange as « Gattaca ».... Advantage for Eye AF, it’s tea time for him ;-)
6) Let's talk about goals.
The photos of a Canon hybrid with an RF lens that I have seen in recent months made me want to buy a Canon EF 85mm f1.2 II 1 month after the R6. I'm not sure that was the goal. from Canon that we buy back the EF lenses that we had sold second-hand.
www.flickr.com/photos/garivalden/50806574161
Canon did not lose everything because, to get Canon cash back, I exchanged my Canon EF 300MM 2.8 is II before the summer of 2021 for an RF 100-500mm ...
Why did I do this?
Fear of obsolescence and maybe a follow-up helped by an abundant marketing hype which made me give in and go against my convictions of never buying a zoom because the rendering really has nothing to do with a focal length fixed premium… I sold it 1 month later.
The bottom line of this financially not very pleasant operation is that, as in many areas, if we have the feeling that things will not be in our best interest, it is better to abstain ;-)
What will I miss most about the Canon R6
Focusing in low light, your 85mm 1.2 will get a facelift
Staggering stabilization from 100-500mm net to 1/50 th to 500mm
The focus on the eye, clearly the majority of wedding, sports and animal photographers will never want to go back, I understand them, this is a decisive advantage over the competition
And especially the advantage of having the collimators close to the edge unlike the DSLR
The burst and the endless sorting it generates, the swiveling screen, the touchscreen, the wifi, the gps, I will miss less.
I don't think I’ll buy again this excellent 300mm 2.8 IS II.
I still got the magical 135 mm F2 and 85mm 1.2 , my next wildlife Canon Lens will be a prime EF, surely excellent, not too big (price too) because I take my equipment everywhere, repairable I don't know ...

Every day, especially since the digital and the Internet, our so-called user-friendly world becomes unnecessarily more complicated and deliberately consumerist.
The R5 and R6 are good cameras and Canon has really caught up to the competition but it's not my direction.
The 5D Mark III is 2012, a century after 1912, my favorite year, in which I have been preparing a photo for a very long time.
What if Canon EF finally became a way of life.

Excited by my newest camera. I new when I shot this on my Olympus XA it would not be able to focus close enough, but hey.
I was excited to get this shot with the fresh snow on the hoodoo at Bryce. There was 4 ft of snow on the ground at the trail head. Slipped on my Katula spikes and dressed up - it was 17 degrees - and treked down the switch backs to just where I had imagined. there was great angular light on the formations until I got ready to shoot. Thena massive cloud pushed in a remained for the rest of the day! Nice but too much flat light. i was crushed.
"Jack and Diane" painted a picture of my life and my dreams,
Suddenly this crazy world made more sense to me.
Well I heard it today and I couldn't help but sing along.
Day 82 - August 19th, 2009.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!
I just emitted one of those really high pitched screams that girls do when:
a) they're really excited, or
b) they're trying to communicate with dolphins.
Okay, so I have rather eclectic musical tastes. It's a strange combination of folk/mellow/soft rock/rock/oldies/pop/Spanish/trance/techno pop/musical soundtracks/indie shit and country.
But here it is: I love country. Pssssssssssh -- judge me if you want!
But The Beatles will always be my number 1. And Kenny Chesney.
I have been in love with Kenny Chesney since I was 13 years old. It's a 5 year love affair -- pretty one-sided because he never tours in Canada. Except this year.
And he came to Ottawa.
Last night.
HOLY FRIGGING SHIGOYEWTOUEWTY*%$#(YTUI.
It was magical.
He's 41 and bald but gosh darn he is the love of my life.
Him and Paul McCartney.
(I wish that they would have a love child. With a little bit of Edward Norton thrown in, and a pinch of Clint Eastwood.)
The opening acts were super sick too -- Lady Antebellum and Miranda Lambert.
Kenny Chesney made eye contact with me. I know you don't believe me but I swear to
everything good and holy in this world that he looked right at me.
lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala. :D
It was very exciting.
-- this entire picture + post was just to prove to you that I actually am a teenage girl, just in case you ever forget.
We are very excited to be part of Equal's10 September Round

Here are a few more pic of yesterday's jump. It was fabulous and I will describe it more once I have got over the post jump Party :-) Thank you for all your donations. I'm keeping the site open for another few months in case anyone else would like to donate.
This little Tufted Titmouse is fired up about something. Carried that green wild grape around forever. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
Soooo excited for this year's Levitation fest! Brian Wilson, Super Furry Animals, SunnO))), Boris, Courtney Barnett, and many amazing indie international bands are playing!

Today I'm very excited: I'm about to go on a shooting expedition.
Not here in my usual surroundings, but over in The Big City. In a neighbourhood I've always always ALWAYS wanted to shoot.
It's rough. Um... very rough. But I have (for the first time ever) friends going with me. Good friends. Old friends. One of whom just bought his first DSLR and can't wait to get out and try all its coolness.
So... yeah. The roughest neighbourhood in Canada awaits me, with all its dirt and decay and decrepitude.
To quote my hero Paul Westerberg, I can't hardly wait.
Here I am, standing on the shoreline just after 3:30 in the morning, the horizon is already ablaze with colour, I’m excited. My tripod is already out and waiting for the camera as I rapidly change my lens under the illumination of my head torch, I’ll use my super EF16-35 f4L, I’m excited. I look for an early composition, these rock platforms look fantastic, leading lines galore carved out by millennia of sea erosion, I’m excited. It’s still low light, to keep that colour on the horizon I need a ND grad, I decide to use a medium 2 stop to lift the foreground darkness, I’m excited. I frame the image, check the settings, f11, calculate the shutter speed, back to ISO 100 and bulb, this is fun, I’m excited. The first photo taken with a 76 second exposure, I check the results but no pressure it’s still 40 minutes from sunrise, did I say I’m excited. The first photo of the morning, the day before the summer solstice, the time is 3:40.
So I work at Enchanted Forest. Which is like this little theme park, but today we're having this music festival! So all over the park are going to be a bunch of random local bands playing all day, so theres going to be sooo many extra people in the park. Its pretty much going to be all hell breaking loose at Enchanted Forest and I am so stoked. :)
But anyways, they did an article on it in the newspaper. I guess I'll have to update you all on how it went tonight :)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So it wasn't quite as hectic as I was hoping. Dang. But still a very nice change from the usual day. I definitely enjoyed it - as I sat in the Entrance booth taking tickets and explaining repeatedly what we were doing I got to listen to various acoustic bands not too far away. So I was happy :)
All the contestants received a trophy for participation. This little girl was very excited to have hers.
Bald Eagles mate for life. The females are usually larger - perhaps the one on the left. She was perched alone with command of the beach below when her juvenile offspring caused her to momentarily "jump" to avoid his erratic landing. Her protests were notable and loud enough to summon Dad who also got in on the act. The youngster found a place to land a couple of trees down.
**Update** It's almost ready. Omgosh.. so excited about this creation!😯😊😁
Like Seriouslyyyy...who else is excited about Fall???
*raises hand like a 5 year old that has to pee* O.O
Coming soon is a new Fall Cottage from Old Barn Door ..of course with all the extras..cuz I'm always in an awesome mood this time of year!!
Stay tuned ..and Happy (early) Fall Ya'll!!!! =]
P.S. Don't know if it's the sephia, but having a Wizard of Oz vibe.. so cool thing. Go to Google, type in Wizard of Oz, click the slippers, then the tornado! It's pretty neat. 😁
I’m so very excited to be sharing this image, the start of a visual short story about a little girl and her dreams that she follows! While in LA for my workshop, I was trying to think of the best way to share how I come up with ideas, and as always my mind wandered back to when I was a child. When I was a kid, one of my favorite times was bath time, and from there I would dream up so many stories (mostly while building little lego rafts with pirates and treasure). The thought led me to create a series of images that all start from that favorite childhood place of sanctity and imagination, the tub! Over the next couple months, I’ll be sharing some of these fantastical images I was able to shoot while in LA, where this girl will travel all over in her imagination… its hard to wait! I’ll also be sharing a before/after blog post about this shoot later this week, let me know if there are any other blogs you’d like to see!
Model is the AMAZING Natalie, my adopted little sister!
If you enjoy things like this and want to learn even more, and happen to live in NYC or near, I’ll be teaching a workshop on conceptual imagery and portrait work with Karrah Kobus on April 19th & 20th, less than 2 weeks away! Since it’s Easter weekend, we’ve lowered the price; we still have a good amount of seats left. You don’t want to miss this opportunity with our beautiful locations, models, and wealth of knowledge/inspiration. Check it out here: robwoodcox.com/nyws
