If this is genuine* He's completely lost the plot.

He's blaming the PM of Norway for him not getting the Nobel Prize (Nobel ≠ Norwegian govt).

He thinks that Norway has control over what Denmark does with Greenland.
(Norway ≠ Denmark).

These are the deranged ramblings of a demented old man.

If there are any grown-ups left in America, now is the time to take back the wheel.

At Vivaldi we continue to make choices that are different from our competitors. We have chosen to not integrate AI or crypto, but instead we integrate a wealth of other features, based on the wishes of our users.

We are a European company with most of the team based in Norway and Iceland, a few around Europe and a couple in the US.

Our servers are based in Iceland.

If you want to get away from Big Tech, maybe give us a try? If you are already using Vivaldi, maybe introduce your friends?

#Joan Baez - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down #Norway '78


Just havin a normal one here in The Arctic. Another 60GB of RAW files to work through from this evening.

This set was taken with my fisheye lens, because it's super wide with a little over 120° field of view. And that's handy when you want to capture what's happening from one horizon to another.

(Exposures are F4 for 4sec at ISO 4000. Lumix S9 and TT Artisan 11mm F2.8 MF)

I have a few thousand frames to dig through tonight. Just wanted to share something right away, because it's a little bit exciting.

I wasn't in the mood to head out and shoot tonight. I was tired to the bones after yesterday's outing, and the thought of leaving our cosy cabin to stand in the cold just in case things kicked off was marginal at best. But the satellite data was pretty convincing. And I knew I half decent spot to shoot from, about 10mins drive away.

I grumbled and made a fuss and got in the car and stood out there. Buzzed a buddy and he came to join too. And then it went off like a frog in a sock. Maybe the second best aurora of the season so far. Not fast paced, but very generous and very pretty.

This scene is taken with an 11mm F2.8 MF Fisheye by TT Artisan. Half decent lens. Tricky to tame that fisheye effect, hence setting the horizon as close to the centre as possible.

Went out to dinner last night for a Christmas celebration with friends. Then things kind of escalated. From now on when we talk about the "Christmas Lights" this is what we're really hoping for :)

PSA, always have your camera gear in the car when you drive to a friends place in the north!

#Norway #Photography #Lumix #Auroras #14mm


One of the challenges for me when shooting auroras is to capture a sense of the scale. The wider the lens, the more you diminish the events in the sky. The narrower the lens, the less of the action you get in the frame.

And then there's a question of how close you push elements of the scene into the foreground. The lens choice also plays with the perspective. Am sure a few of the more dedicated landscape photographers here can attest to the tendency for ultra wide lenses to make an otherwise magnificent mountain range look small and trivial.

Would love to see what other folks here are doing with the fish-eye perspective. How to lean into it, versus trying to subdue it.

Got a chance to experiment a little with the 11mm fisheye last night before dinner. Might take a while to get my head around the fisheye effect, and whether this lens will suit my creative bent.

Very early this morning, at around 5am, I was awake to see clear skies above and the very tail end of last night's auroras. Popped out to grab a few shots on the new 14mm F2.8, then headed back to bed for a sleep in :)

And here's the bigger scene to show you where we are. This taken at 28mm, revealing the closer shoreline (and a hint of the salmon factory), and Grovfjord in the distance. That dance of light low on the horizon was a treat today.

I always expect these colours to disappear within a few minutes, but we're in the Arctic and these hues seem to hold for hours. This scene is around 11am, and was still holding at 1pm, although the low clouds had washed over the fjord at Grov and hidden some of the peaks.

Gonna be seeing a lot of this mountain for the next couple of months. Today the pink skies turned up to welcome the winter solstice.
