Long Exposure Photography in Åstön
Heading back to Åstön for some camping and photography, I pitch my tent in the pinewood land and hear the waves hit the shoreline. It sounds promising for some long exposure photography.
Getting familiar with the location
This time, I hike a little further along the coastal shoreline, close to Linberget. I find a beautiful campsite right next to the shore. After pitching my tent, I grab my camera and tripod and hike down to the shore in search of stunning compositions.
My first Long Exposure Photography
My first long exposure photograph is an intimate shot of rocks and flowing water.

Blue Hour Magic
As the sun sets behind the pine forest, we enter the magical blue hour. I capture this enchantment with a long exposure of a stunning arrangement of rocks and the flowing ocean.

Perhaps it was an old bridge across the rocky shore, but what caught my interest was the snaking placement of the weathered boards.

Mystical morning
After a rainy night, I wake up to a beautiful, mystical morning. The fog sweeps over the shoreline in Åstön, Medelpad, creating perfect conditions for some fine art long exposure photography.
Morning Coffee
I boil some black coffee and have breakfast before heading out to the rocky shore.
