This Article Is About The Words Of A Photographer Who Has Photographed A Red Cottage Next To A Small Pond In Different Years, In Different Seasons, And With Different Moods, From Panorama To Long Exposure Mode.

In August 2013, a tenamedame of Ol Henrik Skjellstedt accidentally saw this red cottage and the pond next to it. He felt that the beauty and charm of this environment had already been photographed. Of course, to protect this pond and its beautiful setting, he did not tell its location.

The first photo he took of this hut with his first camera: (August 2013)

Another image he recorded was taken in winter. Winter, snow, and ice had added another dimension to the pond: (December 2014)

Many good memories can be made with a place that has been visited several times. Ol Henrik says:

One of the best memories I have of this red shack was when we came here with Ryan Ennis and Tola Top in September 2015, and Tola taught me how to use a polarizing filter to increase the contrast of the sky and enhance the reflections in the photo. Umustave to admit that in those,e days, I changed the colors too,o much, and maybe the images were a little dark, but I also used the Everton effect a lot. Use.

Ol Henrik took the following photo with his camera that day:

After buying his first full-frame camera, along with a wide lens and some special filters, he ultimately fell in love with long-exposure photography: (September 2014)

He gradually got acquainted with taking and editing panoramic photos: (April 2017)

He also took some panoramic pictures during the night to show the Milky Way galaxy and the aurora borealis in one frame: (October 2016)

The change of different seasons of the year and the change of the water level of the pond created other scenes, generally the stones on the edge of the pond underwater water, but in the picture taken by Ol in April 2017, these stones are visible due to the decrease of water: (April 2017)

For a long time, Ol Henrik wanted to put his camera in of ice cave. During the spring of 2018, he found holes in the rocks to the right of his camera and placed his Pentax K-1 in one of them. In the end, with 7 or 8 shots, it faced improper Focus. He spent a few hours trying to get a good result so that he could take the following photo: (March 2018)

The next photo he took of this hut is one of his favorite photos. Ol named this photo “Eagle.” ings.” To take this photo, the Focus Stacking method or combination of several images was used to get a sharp image, ms of foreground and background. The distance from his lens to the nearest branch was only a few centimeters. (March 2016)

Henrik says about this photo he took in March 2016:

I took the picture from an angle where the northwest was facing me. Due to the northern lights and the power of the aurora borealis, known to the southern parts of Norway, this beautiful scene has been created.

The sun can also work and create a beautiful view. Ol Henrik usually takes his pictures of this pond at s. Still, when Christian Heiberg and Timothy Poulton asked to visit the pond on the last day of August 2016, he woke up earlier than usual and realized that the light was before sunrise.

On another memorable day in January 2018, Marten Eriksen and Hans Gunner Slacksen, who were first friends, came to the pond. A lot of snowfall last year and the presence of fog that blocked the direct sunlight created a beautiful scene:

Ol Henrik went to this pond for photography this year as well. He says this:

Perhaps my visit to this pond this year (2019) is not surprising. I had given up hope of seeing a more beautiful sunset than this, so I gathered my photography equipment. But then the colors slowly but beautifully unfolded and finally covered the sky with solid red colors; photographing and editing photos captured in this mode was challenging for any photographer.

If he overexposed, the reds would be close to yellow, and if he changed the reds in the image editing, the clouds would lose their detail, ruining the warm colors of the image. The result of his photography and editing is the following photo: (January 2019)
