After I wrote my last post I realized that it may sound strange to some that I had to ”learn the new lens”. You could argue that it would be obvious in the finder, that an aperture should be set in another way to get a sharp picture. The thing is that this is a…

#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…
#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….
#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…
#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…
#222 Gear
Rainy and cold outside. Got an idea to make a page about gear for my Blog. No affiliate links to make money – just a little about my photography gear. The gear doesn’t matter is what we hear everywhere…but it does. At least for me. It doesn’t make the pictures that much better…but it feels…
#220 A 50mm day
Walked the streets of Vadstena again today. Just wanted to make some last minute buys before Christmas. Of course I brought my camera and one lens. Only took my Zeiss 2/50 Planar with me today. I really like to shoot this lens wide open. It is dead sharp and the out of focus areas are…
#219 Christmas feeling in Linköping
A couple of years ago we were in Vienna in early December. Now that is a city that prepare for Christmas in a serious way. The whole city centre is a large Christmas Market. Today we went to our city – Linköping – to see if Linköping is prepared for Christmas. I had my Zeiss…
#218 Using wide lenses on the Leica M240
A couple of months ago I noticed that some of my pictures had a purple tint in the right side of the picture. In a closer look I saw it in the left side as well. The first thought was that there was a sensor problem with my MP240. I shivered as I imagined the…
#217 About a Picture
Our house is built about 200 meters from the main railway between Stockholm and Malmö. Trains are passing at high speed around the clock. When we moved here we were a little afraid that the trains should be disturbing – but it has almost become the other way around. The trains are our old friends…
#216 About a Picture
We were on our way to one of Swedens most famous ancient monuments, Ales Stenar (a ”ship” of stones – see picture below). In the summer this place is filled with visitors. In November – not so much. We were completely alone. It is about a kilometer long walk from the parking to the stones….
