Andkjelvatnet lake seen from Durmålstinden
Hi Storkk, what does really "sliders" mean? I used a polarizing filter. The picture is taken north of the polar circle, and the light is said to be different up there than elsewhere. Kind regards --Frankemann (talk) 19:36, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hej där! "Sliders" är det engelska ordet för de knappar och kontroller som man styr inställningarna med i ett bildbehandlingsprogram som till exempel Photoshop. Dom kallas så för att dom liksom glider på ett spår. Det har alltså bara att göra med efterbehandlingen av bilden och inte vilka tillbehör du hade på själva kameran. Ha det gott, --Cart (talk) 21:05, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Cart, thanks for explanation! Have tried such Image Manipulation Programs, but this has not been the subject of this. Also thanks to Daniel Case for explanation about Arctic light conditions. Funny, it's this kind of light I'm most used to. Kind regards --Frankemann (talk) 17:07, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Addendum: I should also say, having done my share of landscape shots in soft Arctic light, that yes, this looks authentic to me. Daniel Case (talk) 21:35, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Okeydokey, I was waiting for Daniel's view on this since I know he has some experience with such photos. I mean, I've been up far north, but that has always been during winter when you can't really do anything but night photography. --Cart (talk) 21:49, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Of my Ivvavik pictures, this seems the most similar to me, although with less haze. The rock does sort of have a similar cast. The colors of the landscape, although I'm sure the underlying geology is different, seem right to me in this picture.

At a similar latitude, the landscapes of Sarek National Park nearby in Sweden have always struck me as very similar photographically to Ivvavik, and that's another point of comparison. (I have decided, for that reason, that I ought to find a way to visit Sarek one day. Besides, it speaks so much of Swedes that they are such Trek fans that they named a national park for Spock's father . Daniel Case (talk) 22:42, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Only seen Sarek in February, -32 C but spectacular auroras. --Cart (talk) 23:48, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
