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…
#234 Giants
Oak trees are the giants of the Swedish nature. It doesn’t matter wich time of year it is. The oak tree stands as the master of all trees – and has done so for hundreds of years. Pictures from ”Tinnerö Oak Landscape” in Linköping, Sweden. Shot with Fujifilm X-T2 and a Fujinon 50-140/2,8. Overedited in…
#233 About a Picture
A small red house with white knots in the Swedish countryside. Typical Swedish. The flag is blowing in the hard, cold wind. It is about 2 degrees centigrades, but the sun is shining. Soon this picture will be almost completly green. Can’t wait…
#232 Sounds of a Nature Reserve
We continue our hunt for nearby Nature Reserves. ”Vesterby Lövskogar” is number 20 on our list. We are slowly getting closer to our goal – visiting all Nature Reserves of our province. Very slowly. In fact – last year there were more new founded Reserves than we visited… Today I left my Leica M at…
#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…
#230 About a Picture
The sun is shining low between the buildings. It is almost impossible to see down the street. People are reduced to silhouettes in the strong hard light. But they don’t care. They are just enjoying the beautiful day in Stockholm…
