Arctic skua (tyvjo)
Nikon D5, Nikkor 600 4,0, f/5,6, 1/1000, ISO 1800
The year of 2020 brought a big change in my life (... and many other people`s lives). Because of the pandemic virus disease I could no longer travel the world for photographic adventures and all my presentations on international basis were cancelled (yes, they were quite a few). I know many people are much worse hit than I am ... but still it was... and still is ... a big blow to me.
Fortunately arctic Svalbard is a part of Norway and available for travel within the country... so this was my big adventure this summer. First thing you do when you arrive as a photographer up there is to turn day & night upside down. Because of the qualities of the light you work at nighttime and sleep at daytime.
Hope you like the pictures !
Thanks to Wildphoto Travel for great management & guiding.
