It is getting dark early now. I arrived to Stockholm around three o’clock and the light was incredible. I walked to my hotel with the camera in my hand. I decided to keep my eyes – and my lens – looking up today… [Leica M10 and Zeiss 2,8/35 Biogon]

#359 Sunday hike
Today we went for a short hike in the area Tinnerö, just outside Linköping. Cold wind and mostly cloudy skies. Still some snow on the ground which gave me some nice pictures. As we got home, the rain started and now all snow is gone…for now. The pictures were shot using my M10 and the…
#357 The Zeiss 2,8/21mm is back
Went out in the first snow with my M10 and my newly aquired Zeiss 2,8/21mm Biogon. I have owned this lens (not the exact copy…) before, but sold it to get the smaller Zeiss 4,5/21 instead. I figured that I usually shot at f8 and used zone focusing anyway. The 2,8 lens is bigger and…
#356 Another Nature Reserve
We were heading south on a hiking trip. The weather forecast said rain at our destination and we decided to take a hike half way there, to avoid the rain. The map showed that there was a Nature Reserve called ”Dumme Mosse” just outside the city of Jönköping. It proved to be a really beautiful…
#355 Early morning
Woke up before my alarm as I was in Karlskrona last week. Outside it was dark and misty. My first thought was to go back to sleep another halv hour, until the alarm would sound. Or…or I could take a walk with my camera. Obviously I chose the later option. Karlskrona is always nice to…
#354 Street photography in Lund
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….
#351 Colors by the sea
A colorful day by the Swedish east coast…
#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…
