I found this fun little collection of small sculptures today, as I was out walking. Tried to find a way to shoot them that maybe could be a little interesting…or at least nice. The light was rather nice as well. Took a couple of pictures and finally chose one. Normally I would have placed a…

#228 The Semi Final
The World Handball Championship 2023 (mens) is almost over. Sweden and France played one of the Semifinals yesterday. We decided to take the car to Stockholm and attend the game. Warm up of the audience with an old popular Swedish song – Unchained Light [I believe the English version was called]. If this had been…
#226 Frost in a different way
It is a – nowadays – typical on and off winter in southern Sweden. For now we are having a couple of minus centigrades. The good thing about that is that the frost is making the landscape really beatutiful. We were on our way south when I saw this fantastic church – Säby church. I…
#224 About a Picture
In my birth town Helsingborg there is this coffee shop / café that has always been there. The coffee grinders in the window has been running as long as I can remember. The thing is – I have never been inside, as I can remember. I didn’t go in this time either. But next time…
#223 Missed Leica-years
In the early 1990:s I attended a couple of photography courses in the evenings. We learned composition, light, tried out new cameras and spent much time in the darkroom. My favourite camera I got to try out was the Hasselblad. I can’t remember wich model – but that doesn’t matter. The square format was fun…
#221 Frosty Christmas Day
In Sweden we celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve. Christmas Day is a day to relax, spend time with family and eat food from yesterday… The weather was fantastic before noon. The nature white of frost. We went for a nice walk on the nearby countryside. Felt like using my X-T2 today and mounted the XF50-140/2,8….
#220 A 50mm day
Walked the streets of Vadstena again today. Just wanted to make some last minute buys before Christmas. Of course I brought my camera and one lens. Only took my Zeiss 2/50 Planar with me today. I really like to shoot this lens wide open. It is dead sharp and the out of focus areas are…
#219 Christmas feeling in Linköping
A couple of years ago we were in Vienna in early December. Now that is a city that prepare for Christmas in a serious way. The whole city centre is a large Christmas Market. Today we went to our city – Linköping – to see if Linköping is prepared for Christmas. I had my Zeiss…
#215 Citylife in BNW
I am in one of my Black and White periods at the moment. In a city like Stockholm it can be tempting to shoot color photos. Aspecially around christmas when the whole city is lit up. But I had decided to have my camera set to black and white jpg:s, to get in the right…
#214 Grey grey grey
Yet another gray day here in our small corner of Sweden. I like shooting black and white on days like this. A nice old Kodak Tri-X in the camera gives life to the grayscale. The lone oak tree has been posted on my blog before. One of our walks is passing the tree and every…
#213 Darker
Sweden in November. The days are getting shorter and the weather is getting colder. Drove to a local farm to buy some eggs today in the afternoon. A really boring day when it comes to photography. But why? Why not take pictures in boring conditions as well? Had to stop and take a picture towars…
#211 When things don’t work out…
I am sure you have experienced it. A fantastic journey, beautiful views and many warm feelings. Pictures everywhere. The compositions never ends. Maybe the ultimate photo experience. Then you get home and load the pictures in to your computer. Suddenly the feelings are all gone. The shots are flat, the horizon is slanted and the…
