#284 About a Picture

It has been really cold in Sweden the last couple of days. I have been busy at work and not even touched the camera – but as I walked to the train in Stockholm tonight I just had to take a shot. I always have the camera in my bag. Today the Zeiss Biogon 35/2,8…

#282 About a Picture

The Baltic Sea. I am standing at the coast of Gotland – Swedens largest island. There – below the horizon – is mainland Sweden. The sun is about to set – which makes the water almost black. It is zero degrees Celsius and the wind is blowing. It’s cold. Winter is here.

#281 Stockholm with a 28mm

Stockholm in november an early sunday morning. I like walking the streets before they fill up with tourists. In a way I may be a tourist my self – or where is the line between a tourist and a visitor? I don’t feel like a tourist in Stockholm. I come here at least three or…

#280 Colors

I love black and white photography – but sometimes I just have to shoot in color. October is a month of color where I live… Leica M10 and Zeiss Biogon 35/2,8

#278 Trees and Silhouettes

Couldn’t stop myself from photographing some silhouettes the other day. It was a a true silhouette evening – they were just waiting to be shot… Just minutes after I had to stop the car and point my camera towards the church in the small village next to our. The pictures could have been in color…

#277 A change in black and white

I used to love to walk around a city with my Leica over my shoulder. There are so much to shoot in a city; cityscapes, architecture, people, streets and so on. I still do the city walks – but can’t find the same joy any more. Instead it is the calming nature that draw my…

#276 A Swedish Paradise

Just north of the small town Simrishamn, at the Swedish south coast, you find one of the most beautiful beaches in Sweden – Knäbäckshusen (the houses of Knäbäcken). To mee it looks like a paradise island. Well…at least until you notice that the water is considerbly colder than it would be at a paradise island…and…

#274 A late evening by the sea

The little village Vik by the Baltic Sea is an old fishermans village. We took a walk down to the small harbor one evening last week. The village is poorly lit during the dark hours. The streets are so narrow that it almost feels like we are inside the houses as we walk by. I…

#272 Leica Hike

We have taken a couple of days off from work to hike in one of my favourite parts of Sweden; Österlen. Yesterday was a fantastic day – almost like summer. We started off with a 12 km hike around the ”Hills of Brösarp”. My Leica M10 is here for the first time and it is…

#271 Monochrome

Today I went monochrome again. It was just one of those days. I have found that even if I shoot only RAW with my Leica M10, I can set Monochrome mode to ”ON”. I am not sure if I could do that on my older Leicas…but that is a nice feature. That way I get…

#268 Lighthouse Photography

A classic Swedish Lighthouse type ”Heidenstam” at Kapelludden on the eastern part of Öland (the second largest Swedish island). The Lighthouse was put in to service in 1872 and is still going strong. It was renovated in 2021 and is as good as new. We had this as a turning point on a small road…

#267 Fine Art

Had this idea that I should try and shoot cleaner and more ”Fine Artish” pictures. It has occured to me that my pictures often are quite messy. I want to try and shoot pictures that leaves the viewer calm and relaxed. Made this my mission the other night as I stayed a night in Swedens…
