<span lang="EN-US">After a
successful first photo session with the red throated loons, I just had to go
back. Last time the birds left exactly when the most intense colored sunlight
hit the water. Therefor I definitely had to give it another try. The weather
forecast for yesterday night seemed perfect for fog, so I spent another night in
the tent at the lake. Directly after arrival I noticed already one big
difference from my last visit. The number insects drastically increased!!! I
brought several types of repellant, which normally do a great job, but nothing
seemed to really work this time. I just had to accept the situation and make
the most of it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Just
like last time, before I arrived at the lake the male left. This time the female
joined him on the hunt. Too bad, but at least I could normally walk to the
tent without any sneaking while being eaten by insects! The evening didn’t
bring anything special, but when I looked out of the tent at about 2:30, I knew
it was going to be a magical morning. The fog rose several meters from the water
surface and there was a slight breeze pushing the fog over the lake.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Now it was just a matter of hoping that the

doesn’t pick up too much. …luck was on my side today. The female and here chick
were hidden in the vegetation. But one of the young birds was floated around in

Almost
directly after the young birds left, the male arrived. After having delivered
the fish to the chick, he came a bit closer to me and took off again. The point
where he started, the back light was too intense to find the focus on the bird.
I could just hope that I managed to get the focus on the bird after the first

focus managed to find the bird…. Yes…. It did!</div>

<span lang="EN-US">About
two weeks ago, a friend tipped me about a nesting pair of red throated loons,
not too far from where I live. Additionally to the nesting pair there are two
more red throated loons in the area, which probably are the chicks from last year. The birds are on a small
lake which doesn’t hold any fish. Meaning that they have to fly out to one of
the other lakes in order to catch food. This produces great chances to photograph the
birds during takeoff and landing. But there is one problem, they are very shy
and it is not possible to come close to the water without disturbing them. So two
days ago I place a photo tent, with the plan to photograph them the following
evening/night. The weather forecast said there would be no wind and
clear skies… meaning a high probability for fog on the water during the night. Therefor, I placed the tent so that I would have back-light in the morning <o:p></o:p></span></div>

As
planned, I arrived yesterday evening (around 21:00) at my tent and sneaked in.
Just before arriving at my tent, I saw the male leave to one of the other lakes
to catch fish. …if I would have been a bit earlier, I would have been able to
photograph it… too bad. But normally it shouldn’t take long for the male to
return, since it has to feed the female and the one chick which hatched a few
days ago. After having installed my camera equipment, I took some pictures of
the female in the distance on the nest and waited for the return of the male. The
chicks from last year, where nowhere to be seen.</div>

The
hours ticked by, but no male, no other birds and the female hasn’t moved a bit.
Around midnight the male still hadn’t returned and it had gotten too dark to
photograph it, if it would return within the next 3 hours. I want wanted to
stay awake, in order to see if the male would come back and when it would come

Hours
passed, but nothing. Fog started to build up on the lake, but no birds to
photograph. I thought… “it is one of those nights, where you spend hours and
hours waiting without any result”. …I must have dozed off, because at 02:30 I suddenly
woke up by the screaming alarm call of the female. I quickly looked through my
camera to see what is going on. I had the camera fixed towards the nest, but saw
instead of the loon, a red fox at the nest.</div>

<span lang="EN-US">Dovrefjell….
as never before!</span></h2>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US">As I
announced in my previous post, I have been guiding two Dutch photographers (Peter
v.d. Veen and René Visser) trough Dovrefjell from the 6<sup>th</sup> till the 9<sup>th</sup>
of September. And I’m happy to announce that this has been a great success!!!
This is the story why it has been such a great success.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US">The goal
of the trip was to photograph Musk-oxen deep in Dovrefjell National park and
try to find reindeer and arctic fox additionally. I guaranteed my guests that
we would find musk-oxen, however I told them that they should not expect to see
any reindeer and especially no arctic fox. Luckily I’m not always right…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US">Dovrefjell
lays about 350 North of Oslo and is known for its wild ranging Musk-ox,
Reindeer and the illusive Arctic fox. In 2010 I took part in a reindeer
research project where I had to observe all large wildlife and human activity
in Dovrefjell for 3 weeks. During these 3 weeks, I got quite familiar with the
area and where and how to find the wildlife. After these 3 weeks I returned a
few more times to Dovrefjell and gained more knowledge about this wonderful but
especially harsh area. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

The
weather forecast predicted great weather for the period that I would be guiding
Peter and René. However, Dovrefjell is known for its own harsh weather system
and can chance before you know it. Because of this, I told my two guest
photographers to bring warm clothing and to be prepared for harsh weather
conditions.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<h3>
<span lang="EN-US">Day 1.</span></h3>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US">When I
arrived at Dovrefjell there was a strong wind blowing and the air felt cold. So
I was happy that I brought warm clothing and that I also told my guest to bring
warm clothing too. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US">I had a
few hours before my guest would arrive, so I used this time to look for tracks
in an area where the arctic fox has been seen before. In one particular area I
found quite a lot of fresh and older scats of the arctic fox, indication they
were in the area. However, that is no guarantee that you actually will find
them. After a few hours of searching I went to the location where I was
supposed to meet with my two guests. Perfect timing, they just arrived. After
introducing us to each other, we took the cameras and searched for another hour
for the arctic fox, with no results. I decided that it would be the best if my
guest would sit and wait at the location where I found the scats while I would
continue to search the rest of the area. So we did, Peter and René were posting
at the scats and I continued alone. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US">After half
an hour searching, I suddenly spotted something fuzzy lying on a rock in the
sun, about 50 meter away from me. Before I could ask myself if it was an arctic
fox, another fuzzy creature appeared from the rocks and stretched itself. I couldn’t
believe my own eyes, right in front of me were two arctic fox relaxing in the
sun!!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Quickly
I took some pictures as proof that I really had seen two arctic fox (not
knowing what still was to come) and called Peter and René to come down to the
area where I was. I was afraid that the foxes would disappear between the rocks
before Peter and René would come, so I kept my distance but didn’t lose them
out of sight. The two fox however, were not slightly impressed by my presence
and kept on sleeping in the sun. Lucky Peter and René arrived fast at the
location and could join me in photographing the two small foxes. When we tried
to change position in order to get the light from behind, the situation
suddenly changed from amazing into unbelievable amazing. From between the rocks
3 more arctic foxes appeared!!! Before we knew it we were photographing 5 young
arctic fox kittens which didn’t appear to be that afraid yet of humans. </div>

After
approximately an hour walking we spotted the first musk-oxen in the distance.
Since these were walking high up a steep hill with no nice background, we
decided to continue and look for others. We didn’t have to wait long before we
spotted a large bull. He was a bit lower in the terrain as us, but was making
his way higher up. We took place at a spot where we had a good point of view on
where we thought the bull would cross over a small ridge. While taking position
I almost stepped on top of a short eared owl. Too bad we were not ready for
that, so no pictures of the owl. But then we noticed that we were not the only
ones who spotted this bull. From behind the bull a man appeared with his camera
and approached the bull closer and closer. Something which is not to advice
since musk-oxen are very grumpy animals which can suddenly charge. We don’t
know what exactly happened, but suddenly the man started running like hell from
the bull. Which gave me this funny picture.</div>

After
getting our shots, we continued on our way up to the cabin. On our way we came
across some more musk-oxen but no conditions for good pictures. Just before it
got dark we arrived at Reinheim, completely exhausted! The bags with camera

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US">Luckily
we all had a good night of sleep, so managed to get some energy back. We needed
that, since the musk-oxen were quite a bit lower in the terrain as usual, so we
had a long walk to go before we would be back at the musk-oxen. Luckily one small
herd of musk-oxen came down some cliffs about one hour walk from the cabin.
They were in a very rocky terrain with a waterfall coming down. We were hoping
that they would pass in front of the
waterfall. So we positioned ourselves on top of some big rocks and waited. </span></div>

After about an hour the first musk-ox passed the waterfall, but exactly behind
a ridge. The rest of the herd followed not too long after that, but all of them
behind the ridge. Except the last female with her calf, they changed their path
and took position on the small ridge in front of the waterfall.</div>

After enjoying the sunrise we packed all our stuff and left the
cabin. We needed to walk over two hours before we came to the first musk-oxen.
We positioned ourselves in a way so we would have the “famous” mountain Snohetta on the background if the
musk-oxen would pass over a ridge. However, the musk-oxen had another idea. A
few hundred meters before the ridge they laid down for a nap. That gave us the
chance to rest a bit too.</div>

<span lang="EN-US">Why did
I give this trip the title: “Dovrefjell…. as never before!”? Well, as I told you, Dovrefjell is known for
its cold an harsh weather conditions. The first day it was very windy, however
the rest of the days it was excellent weather. With an temperature around 18
degrees Celsius on day time, it was during the walks sometimes even to warm. We
ended up walking in just a t-shirt and rolled up our trousers as far as
possible. Something I have not experienced before in Dovrefjell… especially not
in September when the leaves are already colored red and yellow. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">After my
first guest photographers left, in the end of April, I returned one more time
to my favorite black grouse display area to do something which I have had in my
mind for a quite some time…photographing the black grouse against the morning
light. I put my tent on the other side of the display area as I normally do and
was expecting the birds on their usual positions. However, in the early morning
some female black grouse appeared scattered around the bog. With as result that
all males were running around and were not sticking to their usual places. And
when the first sun light started to come over the mountains there was not a
single bird between me and the sun. But when the first strong orange beam of
light came over the mountains, one of the males suddenly made 50 meter run and
stopped exactly between the sun and me. PERFECT! </span></div>

I decided
to keep my finding a secret since I didn’t want everyone to go to this area
looking for the owl. But I spoke about it with a researcher who informed me
that there was a record number of breeding Great grey owls in Norway this year.
And it didn’t take too long before the first Great grey owl pictures from this
area started to appear on the internet. But I didn’t have the time to go out
and photograph the owls. The weather got so bad that the valley flooded. Roads,
fields and houses were under water, so
no chance to go out. The flood gave me some nice shots doe. Luckily, just
before the flood flooded the roads, my new camera arrived.</div>

<span lang="EN-US">When the
flood went down, the university of Hedmark hired me as guide for a group of
forest, nature and wildlife managers from Scotland. We had an amazing week, saw
many things, learned a lot from each other and had a lot of fun. It was an
amazing experience for all of us. We saw beautiful sunsets, landscapes and a
large variety of wildlife such as moose, musk-ox, reindeer, red deer, roe deer,
short eared owl, golden eagle, hen harrier, cross beak, red shank, green shank,
sand piper, wood cock, black throated diver, grey headed wacktail, capercaillie
and many other species. We visited the Norwegian forestry museum in Elverum,
went to Dovrefjell where two rangers of the national park informed us about the
management of the park and took us for a short trip to their reindeer
observation post. We stayed at a traditional Norwegian farm where we were served
with typical Norwegian food. We found a wolf kill, visited a bear den, joined
one of the grouse researchers into the field and placed a camera trap at a
capercaillie nest and went fishing. In between there was a day where the Scots
presented their field of work at the university of Hedmark and where some
researchers of the university presented their field of work. Additionally, the
university arranged meetings with a wildlife manager and a large forest owner.
As you can see we had a full schedule.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

made me realize that I also want to guide not just photographers but also other
people with interest in nature, wildlife and forestry. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">The evening
which I came back home, I found out that a couple of long eared owls was using
the field behind my house to hunt. I observed the birds one evening and set up
a camouflage net on a tactical place. The next few days I spent quite some
hours behind the camouflage net. Here I really got to test my new camera. Sadly
enough I didn’t know all the servo tracking settings yet and had the wrong
settings when a long eared owl flew straight at me up to just 1.5 meter
distance! Too bad! However, I managed to get some nice shots of the two owls. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">I only had
a few days with the long eared owls, because I had a flight to catch. I went
back to the Netherlands for 2 weeks to visit my family and friends. Of course I
took my camera with me. I spent some time at a nature area close to my parents
place and spent one morning in the photo hut of Hans Menop in order to
photograph the Little owl. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

back from the Netherlands, I didn’t waste any time. I packed my backpack and
went for two days to the Great grey owl area, together with a friend of mine.
It didn’t take us long before we found the first owls. It was a couple with two
chicks. We managed to photograph them at night with long shutter time.</span></div>

Between studying and sleeping I have been making short trips closer around
the house for some small birds and beaver, went one weekend into the mountains
and guided one of my nephews and his girlfriend through Dovrefjell in order to
find musk-ox and reindeer antlers. We found 37 musk-ox in a short trip. Most
groups had young animals, so we stayed on long distance. However, I spotted 3
bulls grazing together a bit further in the area. These we could approach a bit
closer and observe nicely for some time.</div>

coming over. I will be guiding them in Dovrefjell in order to photograph the
musk-ox. We will hike all the way to the middle of Dovrefjell and stay there
for 3 days. Additionally we will also make some attempts to find the illusive Arctic
fox. Fingers crossed!!!! </span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01414900014752547169noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7167590141294036018.post-83948938855024400582013-05-08T16:30:00.000-07:002013-05-08T16:41:19.834-07:00<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">I have
been photographing with a canon 40D body ove</span>r the past few years. I almost always have it with
me and it has been very loyal to me. But since a few weeks it starts to show
problems. It doesn't always respond anymore to all the buttons, the autofocus
starts to get worse and I get sometimes an error. So it is time to find a
replacement camera. I'm looking at the 50D, 7D and 1D mark III. I'm lucky
enough to have friends who own these bodies, so I can check them out before
making my decision. I already have tried the 50D and 7D. I took the 50D to the
black grouse lek and directly noticed a huge difference with my 40D. The iso
performance, autofocus (speed and accuracy) and amount of pixels is much better
than on my 40D. However, the amount of detail and coloration in the pictures
seems to be better on my 40D.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>The shots below are taken with

tested the 7D. The autofocus and amount of pixels is even better than on the 50D, but the iso
performance is better on the 50D, which I found weird. Also the amount of coloration
in the pictures is less, but this must be changeable in the settings somewhere.

out with the 7D. </span><span style="line-height: 115%;">But here are some pictures I took

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">My name is Floris Smeets, I have a degree in forest
and nature management, currently I'm following a master in applied ecology and
I have a great passion for wildlife photography. This passion has grown over
the past few years and now I will start my own business in wildlife photography
in Norway. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">For 4 springs I have been observing and photographing black
grouse during their courtship. From April 2014 it will be possible for others
to join me to enjoy this spectacular phenomenon up close. Additionally, this
summer I will start to build small observation huts for observing and
photographing a great variety of birds and mammals. These huts can be rented
from 2014. On this blog you can follow the progress I'm making with my business
and I will be posting wildlife pictures made from my hides. </span></div>
