It was one of the warmest evenings this summer in Scandinavia. People had gathered at the 180 years old amusement park Tivoli in Copenhagen. A concert was held at the big scene in the middle of the park. The music played was close to the heart of the Danish people and they sang along and…
#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…
#275 The Nokton 35 1,2 – A lens that makes me feel stupid
When we talk about an old traditional ”Swedish Fika”, I know a perfect place to experience it. In the small town of Gränna there is a café called ”Fiket”. A visit to the café is almost like stepping into a time machine. It’s interior is inspired by the design of the 1950:s. Even the pastries…
#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…
#273 About a Picture
Early morning in the little village Vik, at the Swedish south coast. The fog is really thick. We are heading for the sea…but we can’t see it. Leica M10 and Summilux 50mm Asph
#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…
#270 About a Picture
Took my bike for a ride the other day. Had my camera with me in case of finding a picture along the way. The problem was that I had zero inspiration. The nature around me was starting to show signs of autumn – still nothing really caught my eye. Finally I stopped to have a…
#269 Leica Summilux 1,4/50mm Asph
The Summilux 50mm Aspherical is one of my dream lenses of all times. I bought one (used) a couple of months ago – after selling a row of lenses I almost never used. I have been using it as my main lens since then… I prefer to use the lens wide open – why else…
#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…
