An interview with my self – 2023

1. What is the one thing you wish you knew when you started taking photos?

2. How did you get good at photography?

It happened during a moonlit night under a starry sky. All of a sudden a beam of light shone down upon me and an ominous voice spoke to me: “Now you’re good at photography!”.

All joking aside. There is one way to get good at photography, and that is to work at it. You need to put in the hours learning the principle of photography. Get your horizons straight. Learn how to use depth of field. How different shutter speeds convey different things. How ISO impacts your images.

Or more correctly, learn how the concept of ISO (ASA) in an analog sense impacts your images as ISO in the digital age is not that big of a thing anymore. Technology has come so far now that ISO in these days is more of an ND filter for your camera than it was in the days of analog film. Yes, a slower ISO will yield a cleaner file in terms of noise, but with today’s quality on high ISO like 800 and 1600 is far superior in that regard than earlier. Beside this you also have composition and image editing as well. 

3. What gear do you use?

The one I have at hand. Last time I answered this question I elaborated in more detail about this but I won’t this time. What gear you use has in a general sense not that much impact on your photography. When you start out you often think that gear has so much to do with what type of images you’ll be able to capture. That the latest camera will make you take better images. The reality is that gear plays a far smaller part in that equation than most think. It’s not the pots and pans that make a chef create a good meal, it’s the skill. The knowledge of the ingredients and how to employ them in a dish. Yes, there are some gear that is needed to achieve certain effects like a circular polarizer or a flash.

But having a limited access to gear will also help you solve problems in a more creative manner. By having let say just one speedlight you’re forced into making it work for you. Same goes for having a limited range of focal lengths. Also, if you don’t have the skills to capture a good image you won’t get a better image with lets say a Phase One medium format digital back. All you’re left with is a higher resolution garbage.

But to tackle the question more directly, I personally have used Nikon for 20 years. Both analog and digital. My personal reason for this is that a Nikon feels good in my hand and they are mostly built like tanks that can take whatever beating you throw at it and come back for more. Also with the old F-mount one was able to use a vast array of lenses that date back to 1957.

With regard to lenses, I have for the last 13 years favoured Tamron zoom lenses. The reason for this is that it presents a good mix of quality versus price. This is what makes up the backbone of my gear roster. I also still use filters when I shoot, like ND-grads and ND-filters. My philosophy is that I want to get my exposure right on location instead of blending different exposures in the digital darkroom later. With regards to bags and backpacks I like F-Stop backpacks as they have great quality and modularity. When it comes to tripods I use Feisol legs and either a geared or 3-way head over a ball head as I’m not comfortable with ball heads for the way I shoot.

4. Which lens is your favourite? Why?

I don’t have a favourite lens in that sense, but my most loved lens is my Tamron SP 28-75mm f2.8. The reason for it is that that lens has never let me down. It has taken whatever beating I have thrown at it and like Oliver Twist has come back asking for more. That lens covers the majority focal lengths I often use, and also it has the bonus of having a manual aperture ring which lets me use it on both my digital and analog camera.

5. When you go out to shoot, do you take any essential items other than a camera and lens?

6. Among the photography gear that you’ve purchased, is there something you wish you hadn’t bought? Why?

That’s hard to say. As I said, gear is not the most important part. One will always end up with gear that one regrets buying. Unless one has the chance to rent every bit one needs in advance you need to take chances on things and hope they solve your problem. But if I should say one thing it has to be aluminium tripod and not saving up for a carbon one right away. 

7. What are your favourite settings?

8. What kind of tools do you use for post-processing? What’s your workflow like?

I use Photo Mechanic for import and sorting plus to add IPTC data for my images. After I finish in Photo Mechanic I move the images into Capture One. Since Capture One has the option to use both Sessions and Catalog, I first move the images from my import folder into a Session that’s named by year and which sit in the overall hierarchy based on the main subject. For a more specific job/shoot I use a Session name for that job/shoot. 

After I have moved the images into a Session folder I start a more detailed culling process where I find the keepers I want to work on further. From there I cull them further into what will be my limited edition prints and what will end up as my stock/regular print editions. For concrete jobs/shoots I only cull my images into selects and output them from that specific Session. I cull my images by star ratings and use colour tags to denote if an image is finished or not. 

Once the culling process is done I broadly tweak the RAW-files in Capture One. I only focus on getting the image closest to how I want it to look and then I export them into TIFF master files which I then finish in Photoshop and NIK Software. Also I don’t do my dust removal in Capture One. Photoshop is a far superior engine for that job.

Once I get the image into Photoshop I first start with the dust removal before I move on to the final edits. After dust removal I move into different NIK Software plug-ins depending on what the final output will be. Most often I start in Color Efex where I work the colour aspect of the image. I further tweak my edit from Capture One here. If the final image is gonna be a colour image, this is where I leave editing the image and move to clean it up if needed before I call it done.

If I’ve decided that the image is a black and white I move onto Silver Efex. In Silver Efex I work on the image as if I was to work on it in an analog darkroom. To go into specific details here regarding each slider would make this section a book. So I leave this for something I might write about in the future. After I’ve developed the image to where Silver Efex can’t help me any more I revert back to Photoshop where I do my final retouching. Removing parts that don’t support the image as a whole. This is something I would have burned in if I were to do it analog or that I would employ traditional retouching to remove. 

When I view the image as done I flatten the layers and save it as TIFF-file. I flatten the layers because I regard my image as a print, and I will not do any further edits to that version besides going back to do some minor cleaning that I might have overlooked earlier.

9. Out of all your photos, which one is your favourite? Why?

10. Whose work has influenced you most?

First and foremost I have to say Ansel Adams and Joe Cornish. Both of these have influenced me the most, but they are not the only ones. Over the years others have also influenced and inspired me. W. Eugene Smith is one that is not a landscape photographer but who also had a great influence on my work. Mainly his use of light and contrast. In the later years I find that photographers like Ben Horne have influenced me. Not so much in terms of technique but in ways to approach the scene and how he works with his subject matter. 

Beside purely photographic influences I’m also very inspired by the Norwegian national romantic painters of the 19th century. Painters like J.C Dahl, Hans Gude, Thomas Fearnley, Theodor Kittelsen, August Cappelen, and Lars Hertervig. This has very much to do with my national identity and my love for Norwegian nature.

Review of the Top 10 Camera Bags on the Market: Which One is Right for You?

As a professional in the luggage industry, I've seen my fair share of camera bags come and go. It's important to find one that not only protects your expensive equipment, but also fits your personal style and needs. Here's a review of the top 10 camera bags on the market, so you can make an informed decision on which one is right for you.

What to Look for in a Camera Bag

Before diving into the reviews, it's important to understand what factors make a great camera bag. Firstly, you want to ensure that it has adequate padding and compartments to protect your gear from damage. Secondly, you want to consider the size and weight of the bag, as well as how comfortable it is to carry, especially if you'll be using it for extended periods of time. Finally, you want to consider the style and design of the bag, as this will play a big role in whether or not you use it regularly.

Top 10 Camera Bags

1. Backpacks

Backpacks are a popular choice for those who need to carry a lot of equipment with them. The Manfrotto Pro Light camera backpack is a great option with its numerous compartments and waterproof cover.

2. Shoulder Bags

If you prefer a shoulder bag, the Domke F-2 Original is a classic option with its durable canvas and removable inserts.

3. Sling Bags

Sling bags, like the Lowepro Passport Sling III, offer a comfortable and versatile option for those on the move. This bag can easily fit a camera and a few lenses.

4. Rolling Camera Bags

If you need to travel long distances with your camera gear, a rolling camera bag like the Think Tank Airport Security V3.0 is a great option. It's TSA-approved and has ample space for your equipment.

5. Holster Bags

For those who travel light, a holster bag like the Peak Design Everyday Sling 5L can house a camera and lens, and still provide easy access.

6. Hard Cases

When you need ultimate protection, a hard case like the Pelican Storm iM2500 is the go-to choice. It's waterproof, dust-proof, and impact-resistant.

7. Waist Packs

Waist packs, like the Tamrac Rally 5, are perfect for those who want to keep their camera equipment close at hand without being weighed down.

8. Straps

If you prefer to keep things simple, a strap like the Black Rapid Breathe Camera Strap is an easy and comfortable option that can be worn across your body or on your shoulder.

9. Modular Systems

Modular systems, like the SpiderLight Holster, offer customizable options for those who like to change up their gear.

10. Drone Backpacks

For those who use drones, a backpack like the DJI Phantom Backpack is tailored to fit your equipment and keep it safe on the go.

Conclusion

When it comes to selecting a camera bag, it's important to remember that there's no one-size-fits-all solution. You need to consider your individual needs and preferences, as well as the equipment you'll be carrying. By taking the time to research your options, you're sure to find a camera bag that fits your style and needs perfectly.

Top-rated camera bags for outdoor photography enthusiasts

Introduction

As a passionate outdoor photographer, you know that having the right gear is crucial to capture those stunning landscape shots. One of the most important pieces of equipment you'll need is a camera bag that can protect your camera and lenses from the elements while keeping them within reach. In this article, we'll introduce you to some top-rated camera bags for outdoor photography enthusiasts, so you can choose the best one for your needs.

The Importance of a Good Camera Bag

When it comes to protecting your camera equipment, a high-quality camera bag is a must. Not only does it keep your gear safe from scratches, dust, and water, but it also makes it easier to carry everything you need for a successful outdoor photography trip. A good camera bag should have adjustable dividers to accommodate different lenses and accessories, as well as sturdy straps and handles for comfortable carrying.

Moreover, investing in a good camera bag is a smart financial decision, as it can save you money in the long run by avoiding costly repairs or replacements.

According to Digital Photography School, a leading online photography community, the best camera bags on the market offer excellent protection, access, comfort, and versatility.

Types of Camera Bags

There are several types of camera bags to choose from, each with its own pros and cons:

Backpacks: These are the most popular type of camera bags for outdoor photographers. They offer plenty of space for multiple lenses and accessories, and they distribute the weight evenly across your back for maximum comfort. They're also easy to carry on hikes or long walks.

Messenger Bags: These are a good alternative to backpacks if you prefer carrying your camera gear on one shoulder. They usually have a wide flap that makes it easy to access your equipment, but they offer less storage and protection than backpacks.

Sling Bags: These are a hybrid between backpacks and messenger bags, with a single strap that goes across your chest and a quick-access zipper for your camera. They're lightweight and easy to carry, but they can be uncomfortable if you need to wear them for long periods of time.

Rolling Bags: These are ideal if you have a lot of heavy gear that you can't carry on your back. They have wheels and a retractable handle, so you can roll them around like a suitcase. However, they're not as suitable for rough terrain or narrow paths.

Top-rated Camera Bags

Now that you know the different types of camera bags, let's take a look at some of the top-rated options according to Digital Photography School:

1. Peak Design Everyday Backpack

This backpack is a favorite among photographers for its sleek design, customizable compartments, and weather-resistant construction. It can hold a DSLR or mirrorless camera, up to 3 lenses, and a 15-inch laptop. It also has external straps for carrying a tripod or other accessories.

2. Think Tank Photo StreetWalker Pro

This backpack is designed for serious photographers who need to carry a lot of gear on long expeditions. It can hold a large telephoto lens, up to 4 other lenses, a camera body, and accessories. It also has a tripod holder and a rain cover.

3. Tenba Solstice 20L

Review: f-stop Gear Loka 37L Backpack

My wife says I have too many camera bags, while I always feel that there's room for at least one more. A bag for every situation, right? But it's good that she tells me that; it keeps me in check, because otherwise we might have a room full of packs and bags. As a result, I tend to "try out" a pack for a while and, if it doesn't fit my flow when I'm out there, I put it out back on the market and get something else. I tend to buy gently used, or last year's model, to save a little. And that's why this review is for a pack that is no longer sold new, f-stop's Loka - but you can buy the newer ultralight (UL) version from their site, and from all accounts, it's an improvement on an already impressive pack.

I had always gravitated toward the f-stop brand: rugged, durable, good-looking camera packs made for photographers who push their gear more than most, and who might need to pack more than most. Before covering endurance sports, I was happy to shoot with just one camera body and a couple of lenses. Now I wouldn't want to shoot a cycling race without my two Nikon bodies at hand, one with an ultrawide lens and the other with a tele. I also like to use HSS flash, on or off-camera, so I need the battery pack to go with it. And all the other usual stuff: batteries, cards, snacks, cords, and so on. I tried the Lowepro Whistler 350 for about a year, and always came home with a backache. Great pack, but hoofing it around a race course all day made every one of its pain points terribly apparent. After some patient searching, I found a used Loka 37L at a good price, and "traded up", as I do.

If you know about f-stop bags, then you've probably heard about their modular design. While some might say that buying inserts separately from the pack adds to the expense of a new bag, it's part of what makes these backpacks special - and cost-effective. How many times have you found a pack that seemed just right on the outside, but you really wished the inside compartment had been designed completely differently? With the Loka (and all of f-stop's other packs) you can pick the insert from their selection of Internal Camera Units (ICU's) that best fits what you want to carry. For me, the Pro Large ICU fits everything just right. So that fits a Nikon D4 with 70-200/4 attached, a Nikon Z 6 with an ultrawide on it, a GoPro, a flash, and accessories. All very well protected in the ICU, accessible by a big zippered flap on the back of the pack. Then there's a bunch of room on top of the ICU, which you can reach easily through the top zipper. Here I keep a rain jacket for me, one for the camera, and an f-stop Accessory Pouch. There is still room in there for more - including my laptop, in its own protected pocket.

Now on the outside of the Loka, there is a small top zippered pocket. This holds my snacks, business cards, and sunscreen. On the front, there is a large compartment with plenty of room for my battery pouches. Two side pockets hold my big Nalgene bottle on one side, and the tripod on the other. Some quick specs on the original f-stop Loka 37L

37 liter capacity

Weight: 3.45lbs (without ICU)

Meets international carry on size specifications

Designed to fit up to a Pro Large ICU

Aluminum internal frame

EVA padded waist and shoulder pads

DWR treated, 330D double Ripstop Nylon with 1500mm Polyurethane coating

Heavy-duty zippers

Honestly, there is so much versatile carrying capacity in the Loka that it's easy to just cram it with stuff, but I have been pretty good about keeping it light. Things like the laptop don't go on races or hikes with me, but it's great to be able to transport it from home to the Jeep or elsewhere without having to take another bag or case just for it. Speaking of hikes, I could see myself going on a thru-hike in the Grand Canyon in this pack, with a smaller ICU inside for just one camera body, and the rest of the bag to hold all the camping essentials. I even have f-stop's tough Gatekeeper straps, designed to clip onto the outside of the pack so I could strap down a sleeping bag, mat, and whatever else. (The snazzy Gatekeeper straps you see here, and all the orange accents, are part of the Nasturtium color kit I have on my pack.)

So how comfortable is the Loka? It takes a little adjustment, but once dialed in, the pack is pretty easy on my back, even when weighed down with everything I might carry in it. The waist belt really helps, as do the padded shoulder straps, but it's the internal aluminum frame that makes carrying this big backpack a lot easier than it ought to be. I've lugged it around during all-day races on a hilly course, and didn't end up with a sore back.

The pack really is tough, too. It gets emptied out and tossed to the side at races, hung from trees or railings, dragged through branches and brush on hikes through the Florida Everglades, and pulled in and out of the Jeep several times a day. The Loka is up for all that and a whole lot worse.

The best thing I can say about the f-stop Loka? It's the only backpack I've had that I have not thought of replacing.
