Nubble Point, York, ME

Being at the ocean is creativity for me. The constant movement of the ocean. Up and down, back and forth. The sheer power when a wave hits the rocks and splashes with white foam. Pushing the water far up on land with every hit. Pulling the water away from land as the wave rises up. At Nubble Point in Maine you have the Atlantic Ocean hitting straight into land. Where York is you have nothing in between France and the […]

York, ME

27/08/2019 by hegdal

The last five days we spent at the Ocean. I have to admit I have really missed living near the ocean. We stayed at Nubble Point, which was a cozy little peninsula. One of the main sights here was the Nubble light house. Every morning there was a 20+ people that gathered around to take a shot of the sunrise here. I did a snap of the light house with my iPhone. I spent my energy photographing other parts, that […]

Road

18/03/2019 by hegdal

While still living in Norway I wondered why there are so many nature & landscape photographers in the USA that incorporate roads in their shots. After living here for 2+ years I have come to realize the big difference of the access to land in the US vs Norway. In Norway we have “Allemansretten” , while in the US the right of the landowner stands highest. Where I live you only risk getting prosecuted for trespassing. So I have ended […]

Building a brand

30/08/2018 by hegdal

I am sure there are thousands of articles on this topic online, and even many meters of books on this topic. Probably because it is an important one, but also a difficult one. It is especially difficult when it is yourself that is the brand – it is soul searching on a higher level. Things that hit me are: I want to use a name that is easy to remember I want it to be obvious that it reflects to […]

Traveling

05/09/2017 by hegdal

So I have done it again. I have traveled. Well that happens all the time. I always have more or less the same gear in my camera bag when traveling and there has never ever been a problem with it. I travel with camera gear: Canon 1D mark IV, Canon EF 16-35mmF4L IS, Canon 50mm F1.2L, a bunch of Lee filters like big and little stopper, remote shutter release, and other cables. Else I had sun-glases, medications, bose […]

Inspirations

21/08/2017 by hegdal

Last week I was with my wife on our honeymoon in New Orleans. What a special and exciting place. Well first I didn’t think so, we went to the French Quarter and my first impression how dirty and hot it was there, and how small it was compared to what I thought it was. Well that was all to change, I now understand why people really love that place. I soon discovered there where many gems for the visual, the taste and cultural […]

Social Experiment

04/08/2017 by hegdal

So I have started an experiment. It is said that the way you get followers in the social media world is by being consistent and only showing your best work. I have had a 500px account for some years. I have used it to showcase all kinds of projects I work with. So it turns out to be a little like my Instagram profile. I have some shots that I have a lot, for me, attention on. And I have […]

Importance of clouds

22/11/2016 by hegdal

When it comes to taking landscape photographs clouds play a very important role. Often a large part of the photo will be the sky and for this part of the photo to offer something that will be of any interest to the viewer it is important that something happens there. It is said that a clear blue sky is the most boring that a photographer can get. Therefor it is often, not just because of the softness of the light […]

Challenges – the path to new achievements

05/10/2016 by hegdal

I am so fortunate to have a fiancé who is an accomplished artist and that gives me good feedbacks on my artistic attempts. It is important to have someone who can give you honest opinions and help to push you onward. When i years ago, now 9 years ago really started taking my photography up a notch when I went from analoge to digital and also invested in a 300mm F2.8 from Sigma I was in an environment that would […]

The visiting ducks

18/09/2016 by hegdal

I was out at sunset to shoot reflection and autumn colours at a lake in the forest nearby of the city I live in. When I was shooting landscapes the ducks came really close to the shore and I used the chance to take some photos of them real close with wide angle lens as well as taking a little movie of them. I got some nice landscape shots that day as well, so all in all it […]
