Short trip yesterday to the fourth largest city in Sweden – Uppsala. It was a work trip – but I had time for a short photo session as I arrived before the work started. Where did I go – to Uppsdala Cathedral of course. If you have read this blog before you know that I…

#208 The streets of New York
Back in 2011 I was in New York with my wife and two friends. This was before I heard of ”street photography”. I went there with my Nikon D300s with a 18-200 mm lens and a Canon Powershot S95 in my bag. Now – 11 years later – I have reviewed my pictures with my…
#207 The Leica M6 is back in production
I bought my first Leica M in august 2016 – a silver Leica M6 TTL. That small camera opened up a new world to me. It was a time when I had grown tired of photography. It was all just point and shoot – not the process that photography once was. The M6 brought that…
#206 About a Picture
Woke up early at a hotel in Halmstad (in the soutern part of Sweden). Had an early breakfast and grabbed my camera. I love to get out before the city is awake. When the streets still are more or less empty. A nice way to start a day.
#205 More colors in black and white
Today my Leica M had the Voigtländer 28/2 Ultron mounted. A walk around the nearby town resulted in more black and whites of the beautiful autumn colors… This time I felt like using the great black and white editing software Silver Efex Pro. I grew up with Kodak Tri-X film and that is also what…
#204 About a Picture
Autumn is here for real. It’s getting darker. Rainy days. We have seen the first morning with frost on the lawn. Nature shines of yellow, red and green. I shoot it in black and white – but I see it in color…
#203 The way home
Seven hours in the car today, to get back home. The first four proved to be hard for a photographer. There were so many fantastic shots that I just had to drive by. But here are two shots from one of three short stops…
#202 Day three
Clear blue skies today in the Swedish mountains. The best way to experience the views over the fantastic landscape. Unfortenatly we are a couple of weeks too late this year. The trees are almost without colors. I can imagine they were very beautiful two weeks ago… However, the lingonberrys gave the ground nice colors. It…
#201 Day two
Day two in our weekend in the Swedish mountain areas. Rain promised – but we were lucky. A six hour hike with about ten minutes of rain. Windy and low clouds but much better than expected. The 35 mm lens proved to be a perfect companion on a hike like this. No need to bring…
#200 Taking the M outdoors
A weekend in the swedish mountain areas with the Leica M. Nice. Normally I would carry my Fuji X-T2 and at least two or three lenses on a trip like this. Then I also must carry food, water, coffee and more in the backpack. It’s killing me. This time I decided to only carry my…
#199 Moody Mist
A morning walk before starting work. Three degrees Celcius and mist over the fields nearby my home. It feels like the summer finally is moving into autumn. The nature is turning red and yellow again. The following weeks can be really beautiful – but this morning is more like the mood in the world today……
