Today I went monochrome again. It was just one of those days. I have found that even if I shoot only RAW with my Leica M10, I can set Monochrome mode to ”ON”. I am not sure if I could do that on my older Leicas…but that is a nice feature. That way I get…

#270 About a Picture
Took my bike for a ride the other day. Had my camera with me in case of finding a picture along the way. The problem was that I had zero inspiration. The nature around me was starting to show signs of autumn – still nothing really caught my eye. Finally I stopped to have a…
#267 Fine Art
Had this idea that I should try and shoot cleaner and more ”Fine Artish” pictures. It has occured to me that my pictures often are quite messy. I want to try and shoot pictures that leaves the viewer calm and relaxed. Made this my mission the other night as I stayed a night in Swedens…
#263 A B&B in my taste
The next chapter in the series ”Unexpected Experiences” is written. This time it is a story of a small Bed & Breakfast in the Swedish countryside. And a mustery. And a music scene. But mostly it is about a dream of a man and his wife. A dream of creating a new life to an…
#261 The Kingdom of Glass
In the deep forests of Småland in the south of Sweden is a small and rather unknown kingdom; The Kingdom of Glass. Glass has been made in the area since the 18:th century. Today there are 13 active glassworks in the ”Kingdom”. Many of them are popular among tourists and thousands visit the glassworks every…
#265 The Accordion
When we least expect it, we can find our selves in situations we will remember for life. Things we will tell to our friends and smile to the memory. Such a thing happened to me today… A couple of weeks ago I put out an old accordion for sale. It once belonged to my wifes…
#255 About a Picture
A lonley bicycle – probably stolen – has been standing against the wall at our small train station for a week or so. I liked the blue, black, silver and orange colors against the gray concret wall. The bicycle is a Swedish Mustang… Leica MP240 and Zeiss Biogon 2,8/35 ZM
#254 A guy with a camera
I have been thinking about what kind of a photographer I am. Do I even qualify to say that I am a photographer? Do I care about what genre of photography I spend my time shooting? Do I want to make a living of my photography? Here are some conclusions i have made…that ends up…
#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…
#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…
#241 Three of the same
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…
#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….
