This is an old photo. I can’t find my notes and I don’t remember what year I took the photo. The lake is called lake Borkan. To the left you see a part of the mountain Borkan and in the middle Daevnie. To the right you see some of the mount Kittelfjäll.
Back then I used slide film. I believe I used a Nikon F5 on a tripod with 50/1.8 and Velvia 50.
I remember it was cold. My fingers ached and it was windy.
I came across this moose in the end of July 2007. I regret that I didn’t have brought with me a telephoto lens. So I did some landscape shoots with a moose in.
At home in front of the computer, I discovered that a seagull was sitting on a rock, a common goldeneye and a beaver swam downstream.
Do you see them? It may be hard to see them when the picture is so little. But they are there.
In early April I followed Kurt-Olof Edström to check out a capercaillie game. The male capercaillie is aggressive and attack everyone who comes into their playground at spring.
We went to the site on skiis and used our rods to keep the rooster at a safe distance. It beats with its wings and bits and that can be painful. So that’s nothing I wanted to experience 🙂

I also would point out that we not tried to and wanted to hurt the capercaillie in any way.
The capercaillie is formidable at close quarters. And it was an experience I will not forget!
And finally some technique. I used Nikon D3 with 24/2,8 and 70-200/2,8
