#351 Colors by the sea

A colorful day by the Swedish east coast…

Another Ilford Pan F 50 picture. I had a hard time ”scanning” the film with my old Fujifilm X-T2. I could see much more texture in the sky when I looked at the negative – but I couldn’t get it on the ”scanned” picture. I must find at better way to scan this type of…

#349 Ilford Pan F Plus 50

A couple of weeks ago I tried out a new black and white film; the Ilford Pan F 50. Well – it was new to me at least… I was looking for a slow film to be able to shoot wide open during daylight, without using a ND-filter. I found the Pan F 50 when…

#348 Breakfast bread

Every now and then I take a short morning walk and buy some breakfast bread. Today was one of those days. The sun was on it’s way up and the morning mist was still hanging around. Our small train station was empty and a nice old car was parked behind a fence. Not much happening…

#347 It’s dark again

Up in the northern parts of Sweden the days are getting shorter and shorter. I took a short walk around Luleå yesterday evening. It is still only October – which means that the sun is up between 8 am and 5.30 pm. When we come into october the sun is only up between 10 am…

#346 The motivation process

We [amateur photographers] all struggle with lack of motivation from time to time, myself included. But what is motivation? Can it be different for different photographers? I suppose it can. We all have our own intepretation of what is a good picture – even though some claim to know what makes a good picture. My…

#345 Yellow…and blue

It doesn’t matter how much I love black and white photography – this time of year I just have to shoot in color. We had a beautiful day in Linköping today. The yellow colors are glowing in the sun. Found this blue bicycle that probably was about my age. Liked the blue color in contrast…

#344 The Market

The first week of August every year, there is a big market in a small town near my home. It is said to be the oldest and largest in Sweden. I often take the train there with my camera. Go for a walk. Drink some coffee. Wonder about how much junk there can be in…

#343 Using film for everyday photos

I have been leaving my digital camera at home more lately. Instead I have brought my analogue camera with a 35mm lens and a spare film. This has ment that I have shot less pictures, spent more money and been restricted to shoot only in black and white at 400 ASA. And I love it….

#342 One of these evenings

Gothenburg in the middle of August. The light in the evening was fantastic. It was one of these evenings you wished would last for ever. At one of the little squares there was music playing. People were dancing and just having a good time. Finally the light was gone. The city went to sleep and…

#341 About a Picture

October is here again. I have been shooting more and more with my analogue camera – black and white – but October is often best shown in color.

#340 A slower pase

Lately i haven’t been posting much here. Focus has simply been on other things than photography. What I have noticed is that I have enjoyed analogue photography more and more on the occations that I actually picked up the camera. It might not be that strange after all. When life is at high speed, photography…
