#253 Late arrival

Finally it starts to show it self. Spring. Pretty late this year – isn’t it? Suppose it can be related to the climate changes of our world. I shot these pictures in Linköping yesterday with my trusty MP240 (even though it has a little flaw…). Love this part of the year…good thing I didn’t leave…

#252 The Leica World

Recently I had the chance to visit Leica World in Wetzlar. I had rather high expectations for my visit. In hindsight I wonder what I was expecting… Leica World in Wetzlar is in fact a couple of different things; a Museum, Picture Galleries, Coustumer Care, a Leica Store, a possibility to see cameras, lenses and…

#251 Why I like Black and White

Finally a day when spring seems to be in sight. Took my camera, coffee and an egg-sandwich…and my wife…and drove to a nearby lake. In fact the second largest lake in Sweden – Lake Vättern. The exact spot; 58.6681886N, 14.9245707E I used my camera set to Black and White today. I was inspired by a…

#250 About a Picture

We are often passing this small farm with sheep as we take walks near our home. I have posted pictures from here a couple of times on the blog. Today we passed again. In fact I had already passed the sheep when my wife said – ”look in the door – how cute :-)”. I…

#249 The west coast

Went to the west coast of Sweden over the day. A three hour trip by car. When I left home it was snowing, but as I came closer to the west coast the snow shifted to rain instead. It was a work trip – but as usual I found time for some photos at the…

#248 Between the rain showers

Between the rain showers we went for a walk on the countryside. Tomorrow the snow is supposed to come back again. Took a few shots with my MP. Have shot RAW for a while – but decided to go back to JPG:s again. Used the color filter ”Smooth Color” in the camera. No editing.

#247 Morning in Norrköping

Had the time to go for a walk in Norrköping before work the other day. Found me a bridge – but that was not all… One of the main streets in Norrköping City early in the morning. The yellow trams goes up and down the street all day. At this early hour only a few…

#246 Another Bridge

I like bridges. I found me a nice one today in the city of Norrköping.

#245 A 35mm lens

Started my day with an early morning walk around a small local lake today. I only met one person and he was on his way home. He had been there since before sunrise and photographed birds. He had an enormous lens on his camera – at least 500mm. Pointed at my camera and asked what…

#244 About a Picture

Arrived to Norrköping Central Station when it was almost dark today. My train from Stockholm was delayed by an hour. The connecting train was on time, but I had half an hours wait first. It was cold outside tonight, so it was tempting to sit and have a cup of tee inside the station building….

#243 What is the problem?

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…
