A light in the dark www.marcocalandra.com That morning was a day with very strong winds. I wasn't really sure yet whether to go to protograph or not, but my will had the best on the weather, so I acted on impulse. I went to Santa Tecla to photograph an old watchtower facing the sea. In January the sun rises just right next to that tower. I looked for a nice spot to make a good composition and in the meantime I waited for the right moment. During the sunrise the clouds slowly turned into red and, after a few minutes, everything was dark again. I stayed on the same spot for a while until the sun started to pierce the clouds illuminating the whole scene again. To create this photograph I have used the @Nikoneurope D750, @Tamronusa 15-30 f2.8 with the @Manfrottoimaginemore MT190XPRO4 and the @nisiitalia Filters (ND8 GND Medium + HD Polarizer) all inside my @Loweprobags Protactic 450 AWII.

Flaming wind - 2020 www.marcocalandra.com During the month of March of last year I saw amazing clouds in the sky during the afternoon so I planned to photograph these weather conditions. I went to Saltholmen before the sunset and, once I found the perfect spot, I stayed there until the light turned on to caught the beauty of the nature during the amazing firing sunset.

Blowing fire - 2020 www.marcocalandra.com I have visited this place several times during the years and I still love this location so much. That morning I headed to Acitrezza, in company of @alberto_gravagno , and once there we went directly to the coast to find the best compositions ever. The waves were hitting the coast so I decided to make a few long exposure shot to create the mist effect on the water. After a few minutes, the sun was slowly rising giving light to the whole scene and making the seastacks show up even better. The name of the archipelago of Acitrezza derives from the legend that the seastacks are the stones that Polyfemo threw against Ulysses as narrated in the Odyssey of Homer.

Dreaming Iceland www.marcocalandra.com This is the situation that everyone would like to find in front of this mountain in Iceland, but, unfortunately, when I was there, strong winds and thick clouds characterized the night. I decided to edit this shot and make it as possible to what I would have seen if the aurora was showing that night. Even if this final shot is considered a digital art, it was a fantastic experience to admire a unique scene like that rendered more special by the noise of running water from the falls.

Aurora vortex www.marcocalandra.com During my first days in Iceland, in 2016, I haven't been able to admire the northern lights. Only after several days the weather forecast was positive enough and I decided to go to Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon. Once there, being night, I started to look for a great composition, while the nothern lights were still weak. But not for long. After just a few minutes, a light explosion bursted in the sky, creating spiral movements, right in front of me.

Jokulsarlon magical night www.marcocalandra.com During my first days in Iceland, in 2016, it looked impossible to see the northern lights. But finally, after having been waiting for four days, the weather conditions were ideal for the aurora borealis to show itself. I was in the right place at the right moment to capture a beautiful aurora reflected at the Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon.

Skansen Kronan - 2021 www.marcocalandra.com A few weeks ago the temperatures slowly fell below zero and it started to snow in Gothenburg. Last year it did not snow so much because the rain took it away very fast. I headed to Skansen Kronan to take an aerial photo of the fortress surrounded by snow. I had the luck to have enough clouds in the sky and at the same time a beautiful light that was enhancing the snow. This shot is a panorama made of 8 shots blended together.

Golden ice crack - 2021 www.marcocalandra.com It seems that there will not be snowing in Gothenburg anymore for this season because the temperature is slowly rising again. During the days it was snowing I took the chance to photograph places of this city that I have never photographed with the snow. I headed to one of my favorite places on the west coast: a place that I have already photographed several times but never with the snow. The ice on the coast was thick so I could literally go on it (just a few meters) and, after I found the perfect ice crack to place in my composition, I took a few shots.
