#254 A guy with a camera

I have been thinking about what kind of a photographer I am. Do I even qualify to say that I am a photographer? Do I care about what genre of photography I spend my time shooting? Do I want to make a living of my photography? Here are some conclusions i have made…that ends up…

#253 Late arrival

Finally it starts to show it self. Spring. Pretty late this year – isn’t it? Suppose it can be related to the climate changes of our world. I shot these pictures in Linköping yesterday with my trusty MP240 (even though it has a little flaw…). Love this part of the year…good thing I didn’t leave…

#251 Why I like Black and White

Finally a day when spring seems to be in sight. Took my camera, coffee and an egg-sandwich…and my wife…and drove to a nearby lake. In fact the second largest lake in Sweden – Lake Vättern. The exact spot; 58.6681886N, 14.9245707E I used my camera set to Black and White today. I was inspired by a…

#249 The west coast

Went to the west coast of Sweden over the day. A three hour trip by car. When I left home it was snowing, but as I came closer to the west coast the snow shifted to rain instead. It was a work trip – but as usual I found time for some photos at the…

#248 Between the rain showers

Between the rain showers we went for a walk on the countryside. Tomorrow the snow is supposed to come back again. Took a few shots with my MP. Have shot RAW for a while – but decided to go back to JPG:s again. Used the color filter ”Smooth Color” in the camera. No editing.

#247 Morning in Norrköping

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…

#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…
