Had the time to go for a walk in Norrköping before work the other day. Found me a bridge – but that was not all… One of the main streets in Norrköping City early in the morning. The yellow trams goes up and down the street all day. At this early hour only a few…
#246 Another Bridge
I like bridges. I found me a nice one today in the city of Norrköping.
#245 A 35mm lens
Started my day with an early morning walk around a small local lake today. I only met one person and he was on his way home. He had been there since before sunrise and photographed birds. He had an enormous lens on his camera – at least 500mm. Pointed at my camera and asked what…
#244 About a Picture
Arrived to Norrköping Central Station when it was almost dark today. My train from Stockholm was delayed by an hour. The connecting train was on time, but I had half an hours wait first. It was cold outside tonight, so it was tempting to sit and have a cup of tee inside the station building….
#243 What is the problem?
After I wrote my last post I realized that it may sound strange to some that I had to ”learn the new lens”. You could argue that it would be obvious in the finder, that an aperture should be set in another way to get a sharp picture. The thing is that this is a…
#242 Learning a new lens
I am trying out a new lens. It’s a fast lens – and I am trying to learn to use it wide open. Not that every picture should be shot wide open – but it is not that easy to make nice pictures with an aperture around 1.4…so I have to learn it by doing…
#241 Three of the same
There are never one way to take a picture. You can use different lenses, go closer, lower, shoot upside down, overexpose or use monochrome mode. Another way is to use different aperures or focus plans. Here I shot exactly the same motive in three different ways. The picture above is perhaps the most common way…
#240 Tracks of snow
As usual winter came back when we thought it was over. Ten centimeters of snow in a few hours and with it colder temperatures. And it seems like it will stay för a week or two…but then spring should be around the corner Down by the water I found tracks from somebody that walked their…
#239 A scent from the past
When we walk into a library there is this special scent, that has always been the same. The scent of books. We who grew up before the internet spent a lot of time in librarys, searching for information as we went through school. I doubt that my children will remember this scent as I do….
#238 Uninspired in Stockholm
In Stockholm for work and felt like taking a photowalk in the evening. Had my camera with me of course – but I think I left my inspiration at home. Found a café and sat down for an hour (in the window above, all the way to the left) and watched people outside pass by….
#237 Too easy?
Another beautiful day, another hike. Todays trip went to the castle of Bjärka Säby, south of Linköping. It may have been sunny – but it was pretty cold. It was a short hike – about 5 km – but we found a place we have to revisit when spring comes. As you know [if you…
#236 Wind, sun and patterns
A windy day in southern Sweden today. The sun is shining and the temp is around 5 degrees C. The wind is making a nice pattern in the water puddle. My Fujifilm X-T2 is out and about with me. Lately I have almost exclusively used my Leica M on a daily basis, but sometimes it…
