I’m enjoying that sweeping summer feeling you’ve captured, after a hot twelve-hour drive back home. I don’t usually pay much attention to the technical side of things, but I got a bit curious about how you managed to capture those soft movements.
In some situations, I’m using my camera’s neutral density filter to convey the effects of breezes. Since long exposures were required in the early days of photography, there’s nothing particularly new about this. Back then, if it wasn’t the blurred movement of windy branches, it was a fidgety horse or maybe a restless child in a family portrait.
Twelve hour drive– I wouldn’t have guessed it was that far to your fishing spot in Norway. Sounds like a great annual road trip; I’m a little jealous…😊
Thanks, that was my guess. Fortunately, the wind can’t be controlled. It shouldn’t have taken twelve hours, if it was not for a radiator problem with one of the cars in our group. It took us three hours to fix a loose radiator hose, but thanks to help from a couple in a motorhome on wheels with all you need, we made it home.
Goodbye to saltwater tides, hello to deciduous tides. 🙂
I didn’t know the OM-3 has in-camera ND filters. I’m tempted lately. I have a trip coming up (late Sept – early Oct) so on one hand it might be great but on the other hand, it would be another expense.
The OM3 has 5 stops of ND (or GND) available in increments. There’s also a handheld high/res option which can be used like ND. All the above is easy to access with a camera button, but navigation involves a bit of learning.

Radiator- ugh 🙁 Glad you ran into some folks who were able to lend a hand
Fine shot, with a touch of the wind.
A touch was all… thanks

Happy news: your traveling.
