After I wrote my last post I realized that it may sound strange to some that I had to ”learn the new lens”. You could argue that it would be obvious in the finder, that an aperture should be set in another way to get a sharp picture. The thing is that this is a…

#242 Learning a new lens
I am trying out a new lens. It’s a fast lens – and I am trying to learn to use it wide open. Not that every picture should be shot wide open – but it is not that easy to make nice pictures with an aperture around 1.4…so I have to learn it by doing…
#241 Three of the same
There are never one way to take a picture. You can use different lenses, go closer, lower, shoot upside down, overexpose or use monochrome mode. Another way is to use different aperures or focus plans. Here I shot exactly the same motive in three different ways. The picture above is perhaps the most common way…
#240 Tracks of snow
As usual winter came back when we thought it was over. Ten centimeters of snow in a few hours and with it colder temperatures. And it seems like it will stay för a week or two…but then spring should be around the corner Down by the water I found tracks from somebody that walked their…
#239 A scent from the past
When we walk into a library there is this special scent, that has always been the same. The scent of books. We who grew up before the internet spent a lot of time in librarys, searching for information as we went through school. I doubt that my children will remember this scent as I do….
#238 Uninspired in Stockholm
In Stockholm for work and felt like taking a photowalk in the evening. Had my camera with me of course – but I think I left my inspiration at home. Found a café and sat down for an hour (in the window above, all the way to the left) and watched people outside pass by….
#237 Too easy?
Another beautiful day, another hike. Todays trip went to the castle of Bjärka Säby, south of Linköping. It may have been sunny – but it was pretty cold. It was a short hike – about 5 km – but we found a place we have to revisit when spring comes. As you know [if you…
#236 Wind, sun and patterns
A windy day in southern Sweden today. The sun is shining and the temp is around 5 degrees C. The wind is making a nice pattern in the water puddle. My Fujifilm X-T2 is out and about with me. Lately I have almost exclusively used my Leica M on a daily basis, but sometimes it…
#235 Light after sunset
Arrived to Uppsala tonight just after sunset. The sky was glowing in fantastic colors. Luckily I never leave the house without my camera. The two towers of Uppsala Cathedral are silhouetted on the sky. When I moved the camera slightly to the right, the colors were different – beautifully reflected in the windows of the…
#231 Going Crazy
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…
