Field notes & photography

Fog over the Lofoten fjords

Three mornings of waiting for the fog to lift paid off on the fourth. Notes on shooting in low light with a lightweight kit, and why I stopped carrying a tripod on long hikes.

Autumn in the Finnish lakeland

Birch forests turning gold, mirror-flat water at dawn and a cabin with no signal for a week. A short gallery and a few thoughts on slow travel.

Editing workflow, revisited

After years of heavy presets I went back to minimal edits: white balance, exposure, a gentle curve. Here is what changed and what I kept.
