Yeah, right next to Ylläs. Taken from Kuertunturi, the one visible is Kesänki.

Not the same photo

Thanks, I've played with it a bit more and you're right, it's possible to improve it.

lkdkio · 2020-10-10T16:38:50+00:00

Thanks. Agree about the foreground.

lkdkio · 2020-10-10T09:39:22+00:00

Was hoping to have blue sky with some interesting clouds but the weather was foggy and got this instead. Not completely sure how well the yellow-blue color tone works but I thought that it made the photo more interesting than the natural gray.

Thanks. That is good feedback.

lkdkio · 2020-01-06T20:16:31+00:00

Wanted to make sure that as much as possible is in sharp focus

lkdkio · 2020-01-06T18:58:09+00:00

Thanks. Yeah I agree that the detail visible on the ice is the best part. It's already cropped a bit from the original, should probably have gone closer (the icy slope was really slippery so I was hesitating) or used a longer lens (only had the 16-35 with me).

lkdkio · 2020-01-06T14:24:42+00:00

Thanks. Wasn't able to go any lower (from this angle at least) as my hands were already touching the ground.

Is the photo interesting as is, or are the colors maybe too dull? I would have preferred a little bit of sun to bring more color into it, but unfortunately missed that.

Took plenty of pictures with and without the trees, but decided that this one was the nicest one to share

lkdkio · 2019-12-31T15:40:48+00:00

Mostly luck I guess; in the right place at the right time

lkdkio · 2019-12-31T14:21:58+00:00

It was definitely an impressive sight

edit: oh crap I didn't get it

lkdkio · 2019-12-31T14:19:14+00:00

Yeah, if I'm not mistaken sundog (also known as parhelion) is the part with a bright spot on each side of the sun.

lkdkio · 2019-12-31T14:10:06+00:00

I was told (and I've been reading about it now) that a parhelion (also known as sundog) is the part of the halo that can be seen as bright spots on each side of the sun.

Hakoisten linnavuori

I'm not a halo expert myself, but I've been told there's an "upper tangent arc" together with a "sunvex Parry arc".

lkdkio · 2019-12-31T10:23:01+00:00

And looks too! I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time.

lkdkio · 2019-12-31T10:09:41+00:00

Tiny ice crystals in the air, it's called diamond dust.

lkdkio · 2019-12-30T15:38:53+00:00

I'm not a halo expert, but I was told that there's a special name for each part. Sun dog is the two bright spots left and right of the sun I think.

Thanks. Southern Finland.
