MOONRISE Landscape Photography

In this video I start out in a beutiful woodland. My favorite location close to home. Later that day I go to the sea to witness the full moon rising. I have been trying to capture the perfect moonrise over the sea for over a decade . Is this the day? Well, watch the video to find out!

Very nice short bird video in autumn mood, the colorful calm Baltic Sea in the evening and by night. Good to spend now time outdoors! Succeeded, Thomas!

Hi Christian! It is indeed very nice outdoors in autumn. Can't wait to get out with my camera again! :)

Another great video and one of favourite birds the Bullfinch

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

Thank you very much! They sure are special, the bullfinches. 😀

[@juanitakelly3082]

That is a good goal to work on and you are getting a nice variety of moonrise shots! Now, of course, you know I am going to ask the identity of all the sweet little birds!

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

Thank you Juanita! In order of appearance: chaffinch, bullfinch, greater woodpecker, Eurasian treecreeper. :)

A good effort Thomas. Someday it will all come together.👍👍

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

I hope so too! Thank you Terry! :)

Thomas, Just got up early on Sunday morning and was so excited to see you had posted a new video. I have tried to do some moon pictures also with limited success. I need to find a better location in my area. Thanks again for sharing your photographic journey with us! Love your videos!

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

Thank you Randy! It's nice to have a project. And it dosen't mather if it take years to complete. It's the journey that is fun. I hope you find a better location for the moonrise! :)

Great video Thomas. Haven't slept well in a few nights. Guess I found out why XD

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

Thank you Kenneth! Yeah the full moon does that you sometimes! :)

Ok, so not the shot you were after but still beautiful! I like the islands in the first shot in your moonrise sequence. They add some really nice visual interest and help to give some depth to the photo. I noticed as well that the mosquitos were out in full force! Lol

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

Hi Mike! October 26-29 I get new chances to photograph a full moon over the sea. I'm sure I'll get the shot I want. :) Yes, the mosquitos was out. I tried my best to ignore them! :)

[@Cariboukid]

@@ThomasRaskPhoto I really love seeing that location by the sea. It seems like the perfect spot. Oct 26-29 will finally be your time to get what you're after! That is, I'm assuming you will return to that same place. The mosquitos are done here for the season. Woo hoo! :) Returning home from Spain yesterday I was surprised to see much of the fall colours remaining. I need a few days to rest and recover from our trip but I'm hoping to get out for some shooting before the colours are gone. Worst case scenario is I'll still get to shoot some beautiful Tamaracks as they aren't quite fully in colour yet. just love this time of year!

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

This is the best time of year for sure! I hope you will be able to go out and photograph some fall colours. Today we had the first snowfall of the season. Sadly I was at work. We still have a lot of fall colours. So it would have been awsome to shot a mix of white snow and yellow leaves.

[@Cariboukid]

@@ThomasRaskPhoto The weather looks promising over the next few days so I should be able to get out for a little bit at least. Got my fingers crossed! Is it cold enough there for the snow not to melt? Maybe you can get out this weekend. Snow and fall colours would be a perfect combination!

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

No, the snow has all melted. I got out on a 30 minutes walk after work. But it got dark pretty fast. It was fun and I captured some video clips. But now the snow is all gone. 😀 Happy shooting, Mike. I'll help you with a couple of crossed fingers for great conditions.

Thanks!

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

Thank you for your super thanks, Robert! Very kind of you! :)

@@ThomasRaskPhoto it's not much, but my wife and I enjoy watching your videos. She has family in both Sweden and Norway. It's nice to see the scenery, plus I greatly enjoy photography. :).

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

Where do you live? Is the scenery very diffrent from your country? I'm glad to hear you enjoy watching my videos together! :)

@@ThomasRaskPhoto We currently live in the USA in the Houston, Texas area. There are some good birding opportunities here and landscapes if we travel to other parts of Texas and the USA. It is VERY different from Scandinavia. We are actually in the process of moving/immigrating to the Portugal Silver Coast. I hope to have a lot more time and perhaps start my own video efforts in a new channel there but idk 🙂. We will see if I'm bold enough haha.

[@ThomasRaskPhoto]

You have so much great and beutiful nature in the states. Large areas. In Sweden we don't have many protected areas that are large. Many small though. Having a KZbin channel is a lot of fun. You get to learn new things. Like editing video and sound. It's also a good way to grow as a person. Atleast that has been the case for me. The down side is that it's a lot of work. But if you like the whole process of making a video: it's totally worth it! :)
