Fredrikstad city by night

A new photo post on tronder,org:
Fredrikstad – from industry to urban charm.

Over the past decades, Fredrikstad has transformed. The once-industrial riverfront has given way to modern apartment complexes, a scenic promenade, and a vibrant nightlife.

There’s something refreshing about heading out with just one lens, capturing moments without the weight of a full camera bag. Maybe the scenes I found that evening weren’t screaming «shoot me,» but the joy of observing and thinking in compositions made for a rewarding urban street photography session.

Nordlys i Skjelstadmark mars 2025

Chasing the Northern Lights – and finding the perfect foreground

That evening, alerts from aurora apps started coming in, and my son called: «Dad, have you seen the northern lights? You need to get out and shoot!» I had plenty of photos to edit already, but a few more couldn’t hurt.

Rather than just capturing the sky, I wanted to include a strong foreground – something to anchor the magic. I ended up visiting three locations around Stjørdal: Korstad in Skjelstadmark, and two spots near Banggrenda. Tripod in hand and wide-angle lens (16–35mm) mounted, I headed out.

Do I regret it? Not for a second. 😎

Solnedgang på Velvang

A new photopost on Tronder.org:

Velvang – a peaceful paradise for photography

Just 30 minutes from town, Velvang on Skatval is one of my favorite spots for photography. There’s no need to walk far – inspiring scenes are everywhere you look. The golden hour, especially in spring and autumn, brings beautiful sunsets and waves rolling in along the shoreline. With a tripod, long exposures, and both wide-angle and zoom lenses, the creative possibilities are endless.

Some call it landscape, others seascape – I just call it peaceful and fun. Bring your camera (or just your phone) and head to Velvang before sunset. You won’t regret it.

Hansbakkfjæra, Ranheim mars 2025

Just updated a photoblogpost at my website, tronder.org:
Hansbakkfjæra – a hidden gem for photographers

Located on the coast of Ranheim, Hansbakkfjæra offers stunning views of the Trondheim Fjord with Grilstad Marina in the distance. The weathered remains of an old pier – possibly once used by the local paper mill – create a dramatic and historic focal point. With easy car access and parking close to the shoreline, it’s a perfect spot for capturing serene landscapes, moody skies, and the quiet beauty of the Norwegian coast.
