Luusuanvaara

Inari, Finland 2010.

The sun was set and I was late.

I fixed the tripod and wondered if it would stay still in this wind. The lightemeter was useless in the dark -I questimated the exposure to be near f/8 and half an hour. The negative might not be very thick, but some kind of an image there definitely would be.

I set the camera settings, focus to hyperfocal and then the composition. The focusing screen was pitch dark at firs, but as my eyes adapted to dark the silhouette of the forest became visible.I pressed the shutter open and stepped carefully back.

I sat down, poured a little whiskey to my mug and watched the clouds move.
