The Natural Beauty of Scandinavian Countries: Norway and Denmark by Jolly Sienda Photography and Studio

August 4, 2023

Sailing away on a 14-day Norwegian Fjord cruise, July 2023, was a BIG check on my travel bucket list. My adoptive grandfather, D. Steen, immigrated to the United States in 1906 from Norway for a better life, and I used to hear stories this far away land. Here are some of my photographs.

Early Morning Light and Reflections and Low Tide Eagle Activity Equals Fun Photography

May 22, 2019

Get up sleepy heads! Don’t miss the best light of the day! Early morning and late in the afternoon or early evening is often referred to as the ‘Golden Hours’, so true for photographers at any level. Today, I had a blast playing around with my camera with my photographer friend Marlene. We photographed landscapes in the morning and Bald Eagles in the afternoon at low tide! Here’s a photo tip: If you’re photographing moving objects set the Shutter Priority on your camera to at least 2500. This will help you freeze the action and your subject will be super clear and crisp.

A Day at the Beach at Fripp Island and Exploring Savannah

April 25, 2019

There’s nothing like having your toes in the sand, the sound of the surf, finding seashell treasures on the beach, and exploring the antebellum architecture and historic squares of Savannah, Georgia, and Fripp Island, South Carolina. Our family has roots in both areas so every other year or so, we travel there to enjoy some family time and southern hospitality. Here are some favorite pictures of the trip featuring cultural photography and landscape photography of the Spanish Moss and the easy island lifestyle.

Wildlife Bird Photography & Landscape Photography at the Skagit Valley & Whidbey Island

February 18, 2019

Cool, pastel, winter skies…wind, clouds, and sun-breaks…golden cattails and marshland…and snow on the barren farmlands, are the perfect beacon for birds of prey! The farms in the Skagit Valley are dormant and waiting for spring; yet its a feast for birders and birds alike that survive off of the grubs, field mice, and fish in the fields and sloughs. Below are photos taken from our February 16-17 trip to Mount Vernon Skagit Valley and Whidbey Island.

Photo trip to Columbia River Gorge for Autumn Color and Cool Photography Ops!!

November 2, 2018

Had a great time this past week exploring the beautiful Columbia River Gorge. We made the loop, driving on Highway 84 (Oregon) and Highway 14 (Washington) going to Maryhill, Washington, up to Hood River, Oregon, White Salmon, Washington, and too Trout Lake, Washington. Both Mount Adams and Mount Hood shined with new snow and the mountains were surrounded by beautiful Autumn color. Here are some landscape photo pics from the trip!
