Håmmårsbukta – Light, History, and Stillness by the Fjord

Håmmårsbukta – Light, History, and Stillness by the Fjord

🌅 New post: Sunset & Stillness at Håmmårsbukta, Skatval.

Today I shared a photo and a short story from an evening at Håmmårsbukta — a quiet bay on the Skatval peninsula with a rich history and an incredible view over the Trondheimsfjord.

With the golden hour light fading and the water calm, I set up for some long exposure shots — and the results felt soft, peaceful, and full of quiet motion.

This spot was once part of WWII coastal defenses, but today it’s a beautiful, open space for walking, thinking, and photographing light as it shifts.

Steinvikholmen – Golden Light and Quiet History by the Fjord

📸 New on the blog: Steinvikholmen at Sunset

Just posted a short story and photo series from Steinvikholmen, a quiet historic site by the fjord in Skatval.
I visited during golden hour, and the old castle ruins lit up beautifully as the sun dipped behind the mountains. Calm water, warm light, and timeless textures — a perfect scene for landscape photography.

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.

At Velvang in Skatval, particularly near Fjærasteinan by the boathouses, photographers enjoy breathtaking views over the fjord towards Malvik and Trondheim. During a Stjørdal Fotoklubb event, participants use long exposures to capture the mesmerizing waves crashing against the water, creating smooth, dreamlike images. The serene winter landscape, with its blanket of snow and historic naustene, provides a picturesque backdrop that perfectly complements the stunning sunset colors. Whether you’re an amateur or an experienced photographer, Velvang offers an ideal setting to explore creative seascape photography and connect with fellow enthusiasts in a magical winter environment.

Fløankaia – seascape – lang eksponering

At Fløan Kai, history and modern photography merge into a breathtaking seascape. This is the very spot where, in times past, boats made their way across the fjord to Frosta—now visible in the distance, echoing a storied past. Captured with a sturdy tripod, a zoom lens, and long exposures, the images transform the moving sea into silky, dreamlike washes of blue and gold. In the background, the remnants of the old Fløan Church—a cherished cultural relic now located at Sverresborg in Trondheim—stand as a testament to history. Here, the interplay of timeless architecture and the fluidity of nature creates an enchanting narrative, where every long-exposure frame tells a story of heritage and enduring beauty.

In Skjelstadmark, the magical golden hour transforms the winter landscape into a cinematic wonder. Amid icy cold air and a delicate veil of fog, a car glides silently through the haze while a tractor heads out to fetch feed for the livestock. The interplay of warm sunset hues and the cool, misty surroundings creates a harmonious scene where nature and everyday life merge into an unforgettable winter tableau.
