Rrrright! I promised a series about driving Pentax KP into a state where it could no longer be operated due to frozen controls and lens. For some reason it took two years before I finally started going through the photos shot over the period of one week in absolutely stunning conditions in Finnish Lapland in 2018. I shall write an article about this later when I am done with all the photos I would like to share.
To demonstrate the qualities of light available at this unique location, I will start with kind of harsh afternoon light which quickly turns into dramatic spectacle which then clears up when light starts to fade.
Rising front of snow and harsh wind from the east at the background:
Still blindingly bright light at 180 degrees
The snowfront rises up and starts covering direct sunlight
Magic mushrooms in the snowstorm lit by sunlight from the west
Blinding light straight into sun. Note the flare on foreground coming from my friend's Nikkor 24-70 front lens!!!
And the snowing is over but remaining clouds create some dramatic vistas, particularly when shot using a polarizer
Frozen lens surface is not very effective against bright light
And the day starts slowly fading towards the night
This is the first collection of photos from total of five which I will be posting.
