After a saturday that was best shown in black and white we had a colorful sunday. Still cold – but the sun can change everything. A seven kilometer hike in the countryside almost gave us a sense of spring – but I am confident that the snow will return for real at least for a…

#376 Icy Conditions
Saturday was a really cold day. Low temperature, snow and wind tried to force us indoors…but we were stubborn… I shot in color – but a day like this looks better in black and white. All three pictures are from the small city Vadstena by Lake Vättern. Leica M10 and Zeiss 2,8/35 Biogon
#373 Freedom of film
When I shoot film I often use the whole frame. The resolution is simply not high enough to crop that much. It is of course possible to edit analogue picture as well…but I can feel that the idea of shooting analogue gets lost on the way… It can be fun to scan the picture in…
#371 Choosing film a grey day
When choosing film a grey day it depends on what we want the pictures to show. The color film shows what the reality looks like (rather boring colors), while the black and white film shines a grey and cloudy day. My choise is often black and white a cloudy day and color a sunny day….
#367 A Leica M10 and a 50 in the Swedish winter
There are a couple of days each winter that stand out. Yesterday was one of those. The low sun was shining through a thin layer of clouds. No wind and minus ten degrees Celsius. The Leica M10 and the Zeiss 50 Planar accompanied me as we went for a walk nearby our home. We passed…
#363 The weather is always good for photography
This December saturday offered us low clouds, moderate winds, about 3 degrees Celsius and a slight drizzle. We didn’t care. Here in Sweden we have a saying;”There is no bad weather – only bad clothing”. We set out for a short hike with hot coffee in my bag. And my camera of course. In the…
#362 So much color
Yet another evening with magic light in Stockholm. So many colors. My camera almost show more colors than I can see with my eyes in the moment. But…I miss shooting in black and white. It doesn’t matter how many colors I can find in the darkness of Stockholm. I will return to my black and…
#361 Look up
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…
