#37 City Walk at home

After I wrote post #35 – The Backyard, I went for a short photowalk in my home town Linköping. I tried to walk where I not usually walk and look where I not usually look. Here is what I found. I used my Leica Q in the Monocrome mode. I have made some adjustments in…

#36 The Backyard

The Greenhose at my wifes parents – Leica M240 and Zeiss 35/2 Sometimes it is easy to forget your own backyard, when you think about photography. At least for me. I often sit at home and think about all the places where I can go and take photos. But why is it always more fun…

#35 Why not the mobile phone

  Why should we use cameras and not our mobile phones instead? Well – I think a mobile phone is a great way to document life as it goes by. You always have it in your pocket and can grab it to save the moment. But when it comes to creating a picture on a…

#34 Coffee and cameras

Leica Q There are a lot of nice stuff in a good coffee shop. Just look at the tea bags, the coffee machine or the mugs. The whole shop is all about making you get in the right mood – to have coffee or tea. But there is something seriously wrong with me – I…

#33 Ways to inspiration

Vienna, Leica M240 and Zeiss 35/2.8 How do you find the inspiration to go out and take photos? Why do you choose to take this or that shot? For me an important factor is inspiration. I find it in many ways. Some ideas just grow in my mind, some pop up as I read a…

#28 I have to take pictures

I always wear a camera – well…almost always. I find my self always looking at things through the finder of a camera – even if the camera is in my bag. Everywhere I look I see pictures. I suppose that I am not alone, suffering from this photography addiction… Today I was out on a…

#25 How to ruin a project

Well. So much for making a small project for myself. A simple goal; take some pictures with the Fuji 10-24/f4 in Stockholm. Can a project be easier? And did i make it? Nooooo… A good thing would be to actually bring the lens and camera you are to use. Did I do that? Nope! I…

#20 Q in the sun

Yesterday me and my Leica Q was out walking in the morning sun. I wanted to try to get the star shaped sun in the frame, using a small aperture. When I look at the picture, I can almost feel the same intensity in the sunlight that I felt as I was shooting. This strange…
