I`ll be going back home in some hours, got to wait for my plane
Going back to the northern lights and photography of course, and my Family and Christmastime

Have a nice weekend !

Hey !

This weekend I was back home up north for some break from Kristiansand and the long lasting course !
Had a great weekend Relaxing !
Saturday evening i met up with a friend, and went out chasing the ligths ! despite no activity at all
But we got to see them dancing above the classy scene of the Landegode Island. I got my own little show before he joined in. The lights started of weak, scattered behind the island.
They went up and down in activity like in a pulsating movement. Not that vibrant, but got some reflections from them, and together with the stars and moon it was a great moment !

Well back at Kristiansand now, the last weeks of the F-16 training course remains. Going home 7th Desember

Hey !

Now i`m at Kjevik in Kristiansand !
I`m at a technical training course of the systems of the F-16A/B Fighting Falcon
So not going to be able to take any new Northern Lights pictures :/
But, i`m right next to a Zoo, Kristiansand Zoo A lot of animals and wildlife to see there !
Great weather and photographing conditions today, we had sun and blue sky with few clouds
I`v bin taking around 1200 pictures for 7 1/2 hours. Photographing Tigers, Lions, Wolfs, Foxes, Monkeys and other animals !

Still going to stay here until 30th. November ! So going home in good time for Christmas

Have a nice weekend !

Thanks for all the congratulations yesterday on my birthday 21/8-2012
Well 22 years old now ! Have seen and learned a lot ! A big part of me is going after photography and travelling, so i guess that`s the way i`m going !

I will submit more pictures when i can, just got home from vacation I am having some problems with submitting pictures because of my network

Have a nice day !

Hey !

A couple of days left at work before it`s my summer holiday !
I`m allready in holiday mode ^^

The last months have bin filled with thinking about the future, trying to understand the past, and learning where to go and why.

Last months summary :

1. Time is running fast !
2. Decisions making
3. Thinking, ...am i doing the right ?
4. Ambitions and objectives !
5. Me and myself in a nutshell ^^
6. My Camera and Friends !

Well, my workplace is being moved.., so i`m searching for something new ! I don`t want to go to that place where the future of the Norwegian Airforce will be...Ørland MAS. Allready bin there for a year (2010), and that was enough.
So aiming for some technician work in the oil industry, I want to travel and photograph the world ! My dream ^^

I sayd it, Photo means much to me now ! I`ve got a lot of friends and credit via my photography
So i want to travel and see the world, with my camera

The Last Months I`ve had two good times shooting the Northern Lights ! The night from 21-22 / January and the 9th of March.
I haven`t bin so active uploading the pictures yet. I just had my final test as a apprentice so i`ve usually bin studying helicopter systems the last months.
I`ve passed the examination and i`m now a Aircraft Systems Technician !
Now i have my easter vacation, and i have allmost done nothing but photographing and being home with my family ^^

I am going to join the 132nd fighter wing at Bodø AFB, working with F-16`s. I am also going to be more active with drawing now !

Now as the midnight sun is soon comming the nights is getting shorter, and the season of seeing the Northern Lights above my hometown is comming to it`s end. But i have a lot of pictures to submit here ! I just updated my ID picture too
I`m going to keep on photographing, i am going to focus on photographing landscapes and eagles. My hometown is known for all the eagles here !
So when i get my next paycheck i`m going to buy a tele lense, a lense that goes to 500mm to start with. I guess it`s going to be the Sigma 150-500mm for my Nikon D300s. As i can`t afford that range with a fast apperture around the Nikkor AF-S F-4G lenses yet ! So going to start with a Sigma lense for now

Hope everyone is having a great easter, so Happy Easter !

Allright 2012 is allready in February !

The Northern Lights from the 22 January was awesome ! And i have saved allmost 30 shot`s which i will upload here ! 1 every week
Thanks for all the nice comments and favs recently and thanks to all my new friends here at deviantART !

I`m lookin at the current aurora activity for the night now ! It looks great ! So i`m running out in some few hours !

Have a great weekend everyone !

I wish a great HAPPY NEW YEAR of 2012 to all my friends and watchers of deviantART !!!

Take care and continue with your awesome art

Sindre

I wish a Merry Christmas to all my friends and watchers here on deviantART !

Here is a beautiful christmas song from Maria Mena :[link] <3

Thanks to everyone for all the nice and constructive comments and favs on my shots of the Northern Lights phenomen !

I`m getting so many feedback messages on these pictures that i`ll have to write a journal with a personal thanks to all of you !

A lot of new watcers since i`ve started to submit my shots, 150 + since May ! And i`m making sure that i got to say thanks to all of you new friends and watchers personally through wall writing or notes offcourse !

I will continue to submit my shots of the Northern Lights, and keep on writing long storries from the actual shoot as you know i descrbie as good as i can !

I`m submitting the pictures to groups with photography and nature focus, so i`m sorry to say that i have removed and will remove some groups where the focus on art is having a bigger range then only photography. These words in mind is an action of feedback messages with declining of pictures and some strange messages from some.

That is comments like : "this is unreal" "strange colours that i can`t see on the night sky" -> lol, this was actually a declining reason !? hehe.
Anyway, i will submit to a lot of groups to show deviantART this phenomen Because this has become my kind of art through photography which i will be perfecting !

Thanks again ! questions are allways welcomed here

Thank you very much to everyone for all the favourites and good comments on my last pictures of the Northern Lights !

And welcome to my new watchers and friends here on deviantART !!!

I will continue to submit all the aurora pictures which i`ve submit to all my  photo/nature groups !

There`s reported activity on Sunday with a new strike from the sun which came from the sun for some 2-3 days ago !
So I hope for great weather and a good show ! Novadays the weather have bin cloudy with rain so, quite boring !

Have a nice weekend everyone !

Yesterday the 17-9-2011 the Aurora Borealis returned to my hometown ! With an awesome show !
The new optics performed very well
The show was actually mostly quiet, there where weak lines and columns stretching over the sky, but no extreme outbreaks, so that was sad. The activity was rated as Storm with KP5-6 !

My friend Gaute was out shooting the Auroras a couple of Hours before i joined him at 23:16PM

We ended up at a hill over Mjelle, watching the coast from there and had allmost 360* View, say 300* because of the Mjelle mountains / peaks.
During our time there we had 4-5 outbreaks which was something to shoot So i got some 90 JPEG FINEs and RAW 14-bits 25MB files to work with
Our aurora watch was over at 02:45AM with KP2 :/

Pictures comming !!!

and, ps i look forward for one good season with a lot of shots !!!

Have an awesome week everyone

The Aurora Borealis show herself through 15 awesome minutes of full activity !!! I got 250 RAW pictures of it
Shooting with my new lens with shutters of 2-8 seconds and ISO 800-1600 and offcourse at F2.8 !

Pictures will be comming !

I`ve had a Zenith (Corona) right on-top of me !
It was truly a experimental shooting of testing the focal points and metering and the shutter time according to the ISO settings of this extreme activity, as rated to be Extreme + with KP7 and STORM !

Well, have a great weekend ! Aurora activity is expected to remain for 2-3 days !

Anyone know something ???

Thanx to everyone for all the favs and very much appreciated comments recently !

I realy want to say thank you to all of you who watch me, so a mega thanx to everyone here on deviantART !

More pictures of the Aurora Borealis comming
