Lund is a great city for street photography – or maybe urban photography is more correct? What ever it is called, Lund can fill more than one roll of film. Pictures from my [now sold] Leica M3 with a 50mm Zeiss Planar and an Ilford HP5 black and white film. I really liked that old…

#353 Old Lund
More pictures from my first M7-roll. They are from one of my favourite Swedish cities; Lund. The city is old and was Danish until 1658, when Scania (Skåne in Swedish) became a part of Sweden. I lived just outside Lund back in the mid 1990:s and recently my daughter moved here. The circle is complete….
#352 The first shots with a new camera
I bought a new [analogue] camera a while ago. Well – it was used, but new to me. I put a film in right away and took a couple of shots before I headed home from Stockholm… First – I like the vintage look the film gave the pictures. I haven’t done any color adjustments…
#351 Colors by the sea
A colorful day by the Swedish east coast…
#350 About a Picture
Another Ilford Pan F 50 picture. I had a hard time ”scanning” the film with my old Fujifilm X-T2. I could see much more texture in the sky when I looked at the negative – but I couldn’t get it on the ”scanned” picture. I must find at better way to scan this type of…
#349 Ilford Pan F Plus 50
A couple of weeks ago I tried out a new black and white film; the Ilford Pan F 50. Well – it was new to me at least… I was looking for a slow film to be able to shoot wide open during daylight, without using a ND-filter. I found the Pan F 50 when…
#348 Breakfast bread
Every now and then I take a short morning walk and buy some breakfast bread. Today was one of those days. The sun was on it’s way up and the morning mist was still hanging around. Our small train station was empty and a nice old car was parked behind a fence. Not much happening…
#347 It’s dark again
Up in the northern parts of Sweden the days are getting shorter and shorter. I took a short walk around Luleå yesterday evening. It is still only October – which means that the sun is up between 8 am and 5.30 pm. When we come into october the sun is only up between 10 am…
#346 The motivation process
We [amateur photographers] all struggle with lack of motivation from time to time, myself included. But what is motivation? Can it be different for different photographers? I suppose it can. We all have our own intepretation of what is a good picture – even though some claim to know what makes a good picture. My…
#345 Yellow…and blue
It doesn’t matter how much I love black and white photography – this time of year I just have to shoot in color. We had a beautiful day in Linköping today. The yellow colors are glowing in the sun. Found this blue bicycle that probably was about my age. Liked the blue color in contrast…
#344 The Market
The first week of August every year, there is a big market in a small town near my home. It is said to be the oldest and largest in Sweden. I often take the train there with my camera. Go for a walk. Drink some coffee. Wonder about how much junk there can be in…
#343 Using film for everyday photos
I have been leaving my digital camera at home more lately. Instead I have brought my analogue camera with a 35mm lens and a spare film. This has ment that I have shot less pictures, spent more money and been restricted to shoot only in black and white at 400 ASA. And I love it….
