#384 Utvecklingen kan gå bakåt..

[”Forward can be backwards” – Post in Swedish – English summary in the end…] Efter 382 inlägg på denna blogg övergick jag till att skriva på svenska och istället göra en kort summering på engelska. Varför då? Tja – det är helt enkelt lättare att uttrycka sig i text på svenska. Jag tror inte att…

#383 Helsingborg

[Post in Swedish – English summary in the end…] I slutet av mars i år var jag ”hemma” i Helsingborg igen för en dag. I år är det 28 år sedan jag flyttade från staden för att bli Östgöte. Då var det väl tänkt att bli en begränsad tid, men saker blir inte alltid som…

#382 Taking photos in Lisbon

Lisbon – a place I have wanted to visit with my camera a long time. Finally I got the chance. In the middle of may I spent almost a week in this beautiful city, walking the streets up and down (mostly up, was the feeling…). I really looked forward to take photos of the yellow…

#381 A church on the plain

Today I grabbed my camera and went for a drive through the ”Östgöta Plain” not far from my home. The weather was nice today – but much colder than it looks. The spring is here – only not today. The only plan was to have a cup of coffee in the small city of Vadstena….

#380 Cold morning

Early morning in march. Cold night. The sun is on it’s way up. Everything is covered with frost. People are rushing for work. A bicycle is on hold in a park. A restaurant is wating for spring. Morning mist is still around. Black and white. Beautiful.

#379 More and more = less and less

I was hungry for lunch and found this place almost by accident. The lunch was great and I got a couple of nice pictures. I had my M7 with a 400 ASA BNW film. The shutter was around 1/4 of a second – but I managed to hold it still… I shoot more and more…

#378 About a Picture

A picture from our trip to Lofoten last summer. One of my favourite pictures from this trip. It shows the dramatic landscape in a nice way. It is originally a digital color photo, but I must say that I like this black and white version even more. Leica M10 and a lens I can’t remember

#377 The following day…

After a saturday that was best shown in black and white we had a colorful sunday. Still cold – but the sun can change everything. A seven kilometer hike in the countryside almost gave us a sense of spring – but I am confident that the snow will return for real at least for a…

#376 Icy Conditions

Saturday was a really cold day. Low temperature, snow and wind tried to force us indoors…but we were stubborn… I shot in color – but a day like this looks better in black and white. All three pictures are from the small city Vadstena by Lake Vättern. Leica M10 and Zeiss 2,8/35 Biogon

#375 About a Picture

I saw the lone woman kneeling at the alter. Managed to hold the camera level and still and snap a picture. Gothenburg Cathedral. Leica M7 and Zeiss 2,8/35 BiogonIllford HP5

#374 Is the Leica M-D typ 262 the perfect digital analogue camera

It is often said that a digital Leica M can give that analogue feeling to photography. Aspecially the Leicas without a rear LCD – the M-D typ 262, M10D or M11D. They are often said to give you that analogue feeling. But is it a true analogue feeling? What is ”the analogue feeling” anyway? [First…

#373 Freedom of film

When I shoot film I often use the whole frame. The resolution is simply not high enough to crop that much. It is of course possible to edit analogue picture as well…but I can feel that the idea of shooting analogue gets lost on the way… It can be fun to scan the picture in…
