What would a journey to a place like the Faroe Islands be like – from a photographic point of view – if I had brought only one camera with a 35mm lens? For the journey we made I had packed the following cameras and lenses; Fujifilm X-T2, 10-24 zoom, 18-55 zoom, 55-200 zoom, 50/2 prime…
#49 The Faroe Islands Part 5
Boats – Leica M240 and Zeiss 35/2,8 As you may have read in other posts on this page, I am a fan of certain kind of ships; icebreakers, tow boats and pilot boats. Now – after visiting the Faroes – I have to add fishing boats to that list. In the Faroes there are a…
#48 The Faroe Islands Part 4
In post #47 I wrote about the small villages at the end of the road. Now it is time for the slightly larger villages – or perhaps Towns is the proper word. Torshavn is the biggest town on the islands and also the capital. After you land at the airport on Vágar, it is a…
#47 The Faroe Islands Part 3
Saksun – Fujifilm X-T2 and 10-24 zoom If you find a narrow road on the Faroes, chanses are high you can find a small village at the end of it. Often the road gets smaller and smaller, until you think about if you should have rented a motorcycle instead. That is when you meet a…
#46 The Faroe Islands Part 2
Sheep – Fujifilm X-T2 and 10-24 zoom The landscape of the Faroe Islands is incredible. In the end of August, when we visited the islands, the landscape is green. Really green. Every where you look there is a waterfall – and a sheep. Sheep everywhere you look. Unfortenatly the top of the hills were covered…
#45 The Faroe Islands Part 1
A typical landscape in the Faroes – Fujifilm X-T2 and 55-200 zoom For me, the Faroe Islands have always been a place far away in the Atlantic – not for me to visit. Not until I suddenly realized that it is only a two hour flight from Copenhagen. It was a Danish photographer – Mads…
#44 The Towboat
I lived my first 25 years near the Öresund Strait in the southern part of Sweden – still I am not a boat person. I would like to be – but I get sick the moment I put my foot in the boat, so I have given up that thought. I do love the sea…
#43 The Western Archipelago
Sweden is a country with a lot of coast and beautiful archipelagos. The pictures in this post are from the west coast, just outside Gothenburg – actually only 20 minutes by car and another 20 with a small ferry. The western archipelago is very different from the eastern. Here [in the west] it is a…
#42 Me, my camera and my bike Part 2
It is August, and In Sweden that means harvest time. The crops are getting ready on the fields around my home. I took my bike (a bicycle this time) and the Leica Q for a short ride. My knowledge on crops are not the best – but I suppose this is wheat (above) and barley…
#41 My thoughts of the Leica M240
My M240 I bought my Leica M240 back in 2017, as my M9 was in Germany for a sensor change. I had an idea that I could use my Fujifilm X-Pro2 as the M9 was on its journey to Wetzlar – but wow was I wrong. I got Leica abstinence after two long weeks and…
#40 Me, my camera and my bike Part 1
The most uncool bike rider shot, Fujifilm X-T2 and 18-55/2.8-4 Today I went for a cup of coffe in a nearby café with my bike and camera. The summer is back, after a couple of days of gray weather. Not that the rain is not needed – it really is. But the sun makes riding…
#39 Shooting sports again
Last week I visited the largest youth soccer tournament in the world; Gothia Cup in Gothenburg, Sweden. This year a total of 1686 teams from 75 countries took part in the games and played more than 4000 matches. The participants are between 11 and 18 years old. My son played in the class ”Boys 15”…
