Sunset Seascape

On a late summer evening on Norway’s southwest coast, I was hiking back from a lighthouse when the last light began to fade. The sky had been overcast all evening, but I kept hoping the sun would break through at the very end. And, just as I was about to give up, it did.
Warm light spilled across the clouds, contrasting with the blue mountains in shadow. Now I needed a motive; The seagulls were there, but never where I wanted them to be. So I turned to ICM. First capturing a gull flying behind me zoomed in, then the mountains and glowing clouds in front of me, zoomed out whilst moving the camera to create a soft and painterly image capturing the contrasting colours of this sunset seascape.

Western capercaillies are impressive birds. In the spring, they meet on their lek to fight and display. After the lekking season is over, they go back to their secretive life in the forest. But a small percentage of the population have a significantly higher level of hormones, especially testosterone. These birds can display anywhere anytime through the year, and see every living creature as their enemy. Dogs, humans and even cars, they throw themselves at you without fear. Meeting one of these deviant capercaillies, I was able to make some quite different images as he had no fear and displayed on a small hill in front of me. When the Capercaillie folds out his tail during display, a half circle of white patterns emerges. With an otherwise dark background and the black plumage of the capercaillie, I used a heavy underexposure to make an image highlighting the vibrant red eyebrows and the tail feather pattern.
