#26 Sport with Fuji X

I have become a part time sport photographer. The winter is spent watching my daughters floor ball games and in the summer it is time for my sons football. For this task I use my Fujifilm X-T2 with various lenses. I started shooting my kids sports with my Nikon cameras about ten years ago. In…

#25 How to ruin a project

Well. So much for making a small project for myself. A simple goal; take some pictures with the Fuji 10-24/f4 in Stockholm. Can a project be easier? And did i make it? Nooooo… A good thing would be to actually bring the lens and camera you are to use. Did I do that? Nope! I…

#24 Fujifilm Project

My small Fujifilm Project is simple; shoot with the 10-24/f4 an evening in Stockholm later this week. I am going to Stockholm for work, and will spend the night. I had almost forgotten what a nice lens this is and felt I had to do something. This is a shot I took with my X-T2…

#23 Staying in a castle

Last weekend me and my wife celebrated our wedding anniversary. We try to make this a special day, when it is possible. This time it was on a friday, so we took the day off and got in the car. The destination was Thorskogs Castle a couple of miles north of Gothenburg. The castle is…

#22 I forgot to change the settings

Today I made the classic mistake – I forgot to change the settings in the camera. I usually change the settings to a ”standard setting” as I put the camera down – to avoid this from happening. Usually. Not always. This was the way it was supposed to be. In color! The cherry trees are…

#21 Shooting B&W with the Leica Q

I love shooting black and white with my M240. It gives me a sense of shooting with an old film camera – the way I think a black and white photo should look like. I had hoped the Q should give me the same result, but up until now I did not really like the…

#20 Q in the sun

Yesterday me and my Leica Q was out walking in the morning sun. I wanted to try to get the star shaped sun in the frame, using a small aperture. When I look at the picture, I can almost feel the same intensity in the sunlight that I felt as I was shooting. This strange…

#19 Cold stop in Uppsala

Made a two day stop in Uppsala this week. Luckily I checked out the weather forecast before I went – somthing some of my friends did not. The winter was back for a few days and the snow was falling again. Hopefully this was the last snow I will see this spring. It looked like…

#18 From winter to spring

This time of year, Sweden is a very long country. I have just been in Luleå for a week, working. Luleå is one of the most northern cities in Sweden – or even in the world. This picture is from wednesday last week. Then today – back home in Mantorp, outside Linköping – the spring…

#17 Learning the Leica Q – part one

Had the day off and took the opportunity to try out the Leica Q. The weather in Linköping is great – to be in the middle of March. Sunny and about 5 degrees celsius. Shot the pictures with the lens wide open – the camera has an electronic shutter, so this is possible even on…

#16 A New Chapter

A new chapter in my Leica Story has begun; the Leica Q. The first impressions are very positive. A solid camera with fantastic performance. It is hard to imagine a camera to get any better – but then there is the Leica Q2… Today it was a rainy day, but I just had to try…
