Lapland Reindeer

Susan Trigg, about 1 year ago

Great shot – I love the delicate colour in the sky, and the way the reindeer appears to be camera-shy! I’ve yet to use a digital in such cold conditions, but have heard all about the problems with batteries – well done on the capture!

Pilgrim, about 1 year ago

What a wonderful shot. The perspective and teh fadeback from his face to the track and forest is very impressive.

Janice Elanor ..., about 1 year ago

this is beautiful. It has a soft gentle feeling to it. glad you persevered with the batteries!!

milja, about 1 year ago

Mmmm…i love reindeers and finland! great shot

Elaine van Dyk, about 1 year ago

Gorgeous photo. Love the light and the way the reindeer sliced though the image from top to bottom.

Belinda Leopold, about 1 year ago

Gorgeous lighting and subject :) Next time put your battery down your pants (between your thighs) or under your hat on top of your head-It will heat up REAL QUICK and get u a couple more shots :)

Trifle, about 1 year ago

Thanks for the comments guys, and thanks for the tip Belinda. Despite the cold I think I will venture back north and try it out soon. It really pays off when you get nice shots…. and a hot toddy or three when you get back indoors.
Thanks again for looking and taking the time to comment….. off to check out your own profiles now!

Absolutely unbelieveable… the clarity and frozen ends of the fur are awesome… This is truly an inspirational shot! Great work Trifle!

Just wonderful. I lived there for a ear -knitted muffs for my headphones and wrapped the walkman in a thermal food bag so understand your dilema.

Naomi Mawson, about 1 year ago

snurfdood, 11 months ago

Lovely shot…I wonder what the reindeer was looking at! Perhaps he was speaking to his agent off camera about having his picture taken! :o)

Trifle, 11 months ago

Thanks again for the positive comments…. off on holiday next week, completely different this time though… Canadian lakes in the summertime… watch this space!

Great shot, it take me back to my trip to Lapland Finaland also last December. Amazing place and a shot which matches, you have captured the colours in the sky perfectly, I can understand why you want to go back, the opertunities fro photographs are endless, one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. Again great shot, superb colour capture and great detail, well done.

Excellent shot – my Christmas card shopping list is getting longer now!!!

AmandaWitt, 10 months ago

Nice shot under some difficult conditions – the little guy does look a bit camera shy, but maybe he/she’s not quite sure what to think, either.

Torfinn Johann..., 10 months ago
